kristensk | Fanfic Reviews/Recommendations (Reply)

I finally sat down and wrote up some more fanfic reviews for my webpage, and it occured to me - why not post them here? So, yeah, here's a collection of reviews/comments on fanfics I've read recently that I thought were worth mentioning. I enjoyed them; maybe someone else will.

All I Need is a Miracle by Vathara
Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Rated: R for profanity, violence, and some innuendo
Located: On Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete
Summary: Between life and death, there is a moment to choose: peace - or let the demon rise once more.... AU fix to Samurai X - Reflections, crossover with Gargoyles. (Summary taken directly from the one posted on FFN)
Comments: It's like Kenshin crossed with Inuyasha! Okay, so, as an Inuyasha fan, that was my first thought in reading this story. The story does reference youkai and hanyou and seems to touch on a lot of concepts commonly found in Inuyasha fanfiction. The struggle between Kenshin and the Battousai is incredibly reminiscent of Inuyasha wrestling with his youkai side. As the Youkai Inuyasha arc was probably my favorite of all the Inuyasha plotlines, I find the parallel intriguing. That said, the story is not an Inuyasha crossover. However, it may still be off-putting to more purist RK fans. Personally, I found the RK characters well in-character and didn't feel like the series was compromised by either the new elements or the Gargoyles crossover (which is very mild and mostly limited to Demona's role).

My Two Left Feet by Sage SK
Series: Inuyasha
Rated: G
Located: On Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete/Oneshot
Summary:A mock fic regarding Kagome and Inuyasha's feelings towards each other... all due to a stubbed toe. (Summary taken directly from the one posted on FFN)
Comments: Mwahahaaaaa! She actually took me up on it! No, I have nothing else to say. Sadly, this is no longer available online, but you might be able to poke Sage for it!

Jake's Angel by Cherazor
Series: SWAT Kats
Rated: G
Located: On Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete/Oneshot
Summary: Jake meets his true love. (MarySue!Parody) (Summary taken directly from the one posted on FFN)
Comments: More side-splitting hilarity for those tired of fanfic cliches. Almost all of the typical SWAT Kat Mary Sue cliches packed into one short fic! Not sold in stores!

In the Winnower's Garden by Lauhau
Series: Labyrinth (actually, this is a movie)
Rated: PG-13
Located: On Fanfiction.net
Status: Unfinished
Summary: Borrowing heavily from Irish and Welsh mythology, this fairy tale explores one possibility behind the creation of the Labyrinth and the future of the girl who solved it. (Summary taken directly from the one posted on FFN)
Comments: Wow, it's a rather convoluted tale that explains how I came to be reading Labyrinth fanfiction of all things (it's far from my favorite movie and David Bowie scares me), but it boils down to a case of boredom at work and lots of browsing on FFN. The mythology angle promised in the summary was too much to resist, and I just couldn't ignore this one. It's unfinished and, like as not, will remain so given how long it's been since it's seen an update, but the story is still engrossing, very well-written and succeeded in refreshing my interest in looking up more on Irish and Welsh mythology.
