Fanfic draft (Vic)
My Girl /マイガール
This is a story based on the japanese drama/manga series of "my girl"....
* * * * * * * 『 My New Life begins.... 』* * * * * * *
Kasama Shota works as a camera assistant in a photo studio and there is a woman in his life that he will never forget-Yuko.
Six years ago, she suddenly decided to study abroad and left Shota without any notice. During the first three years Shota has been writing letters to Yuko but no reply at all. I've been dumped completely; she’s done with me- thought Shota. And since then he stopped writing letters to her. Even then, all he could think about everyday is Yuko.
One day, Shota found out that Yuko passed away as she was involved in a major car accident. He could not accept the sudden news of death and he crashed down by the trees filled with memories of him and Yuko.
Life is just full of surprises and twist...
There Shota saw a girl sitting on a tree.
"Are you ok? Do you need help?"
"I miss my mum" cried the girl.
"Let’s go find your mother then" replied Shota.
And there was a silence.
As the girl climbed down the tree, she held a cup telephone and told Shota that whenever she wanted to talk to her mum she would use this cup so her mum could hear her from the other side of the world.
Kasama asked the girl’s name.
“Koharu” replied the girl with a sweet smile.
“Then your mother’s?”
“Yuko! Mother told me to find a man called Kasama Shota…He is my dad” said Koharu with puzzled eyes.
What!? How could this be? This girl standing in front of me is my daughter? But Yuko never said anything to me….Shota was puzzled and not a single word could come out of his mouth.
“Koharu! There you are!!” and came with an old lady with wrinkles showing on her face.
Yoko’s mother, Shiori appeared.
And Mrs. Shiori invited Shota for a cup of tea…
“You know, she kept all your letters in a big box. She has never missed out on a single letter and would read them over and over whenever she misses you”
“But why didn’t she tell me anything about it?” asked Shota with a confuse look.
“She had Koharu one year after she arrived in England and didn’t want to bring you trouble so she wasn’t planning to tell you anything about it. She often rings home and cried about the stress she was having with raising up a child on her own. Poor child. And unfortunately she passed away just 3 month ago. Now talking about the raising child issue…Koharu is only 6 years old and she must have a proper guardian. I know it’s too sudden but would you please consider raising her for me and Yoko. I believe nobody can do it better than you!”
Shota keep silent.
As he walked out of the front door, Mrs. Shiori passed a big box to him “Everything you sent her is kept in there…please treasure this memory carefully” waved Mrs. Shiori.
That night, Shota opened the box. It’s as if a bunch of butterflies came out of the box, al the memories with Yuko came back. Whether it’s the time that they spent together in college or walking alongside the beach in summer…
The second day he called Mrs. Shiori to ask to meet up with Koharu.
“I have to get to know Koharu better and interact with her more often” thought Shota.
Koharu starred at a bunch of flowers in a park with big smiles which reminded of Shota of Yuko so much. Shota stood there in a daze and thinking about the letters he read last night…
“No! This is my Child…Me and Yuko’s child! Whatever happens and whatever I have to overcome I can do it!!”
“I don’t have the confidence but shall we try living together?”
Nodded Koharu with a big smile.
That day Mrs. Shiori helped Koharu to pack her belongings to get ready to live with Shota…
“Thank you for your decision! I’m sure Yuko will be happy too. If there is anything you need just call me” said Mrs. Shiori as she makes her way towards the main gate of the house…
However what is about to start is far more difficult than Shota has ever imagined.
No cooking experience can’t sew clothes, getting ready for Koharu going to Kindergarten became all sorts of problems as the second day starts…
“It will get better with Yuko’s bless from heaven” He consoled himself…
Like this, they spent a whole year together….
And goes another New Year…
Koharu will be going to primary school this year and is all excited and looking forward to the first day of school.
“Shota Kun, I wanted to study at the primary school where mum use to be at! They have pretty uniforms and it’s so pretty over there” said Koharu.
Shota smiled back with no reply….
Letting Koharu fulfill that dream means Shota must quit the current job because the primary school is located at another prefecture…..
Koharu realized too and stayed silence for the whole night….
“Don’t worry, I will quit my job and we will move to Ibaraki Prefecture together” Shota broke the silence at dinner.
“I don’t’ want you to quit the job! I know you love photography as much as you loved Yuko! I will move there with grandma and you can still visit us”…..cried Koharu..
Shota hugged Koharu, shed a tear drop….
The day of separation has finally arrived.
Shota walked with Koharu to the bus stop and gave her a big hug along with a beetle necklace that was worn by Yuko.
“This will bring you luck and you won’t miss me with this!’’ Shota whispered.
Koharu nodded and got on the departure bus with Mrs. Shiori.
The bus started moving, Koharu waved hard through the window with drops of tears and Shota also waved back….
Promise I will visit you soon…..
With the memory of each other, two people had begun their brand new life…..

Vic's fanfic reviews
Freddy VS Jason Vs Detective conan
I have been watching this cartoon ever since I was ten so it was wonderful to see many people did fanfiction based on the cartoon. It was easy to follow what the writer is trying to convey to the reader as the prologue of the story is excatly the same as the start of the cartoon. The story is wrriten with a conversation based style which I thought was a good idea to catch reader's attention and keep them getting interested throughout the plot.
X-men
X-men was also one of the comics that I enjoyed reading throughout my secondary years.
I like the way the storyline flows like different movie scenes all pieced up together.Although it was be better if the author introduces just the main characters rather than having all the new names popping up at once. A lot of description words are also used which made it easier to picture what is happening through reader's head.
花より男子/Boys Before Flowers
It was interesting to see how the writer chaneged the main character to all girls instead of staying the same way as the comic was written which was a group of four boys. The personality of the four girls stayed the same way as how the four boys would act except the writer made the girls so arrogant about themselves. I think the 4 girls characteristics could be changed a little so to make it different from the original story.
Alice in Wonderland -What If
A very sentimental start! Hatter's feeling was clearly conveyed to the readers through writer's words whether Alice and Hatter were lovers or friends. If there is going to be a secode series of the movie made,I would strongly recommend this story as I think its a great linking between the end and the new beginning.
Grudge- Ripped Apart
It was a sad but well written story. Unlike the actual movie, this fanfic focused on the boy more. The story was written through Toshio's eyes, from how he felt about his father, his close relation to his mother,until when they are all dead.
Some of the part would be good if used in the actual movie.
Shrek
The whole story was pretty sweet and fun reading. Compare to the movie,more dimension was added to the characters by the writer which lead to strong development of main characters like Fiona. Although did not get the character Orge Child. Anwyay nice suprises from the Snow White, Fiona definately did not expect such a wonderful birthday party!
Titanic- A Much Happier Ending
It was definatley nice to see Jack is still alive and what will happen after the disaster. It would be better if the writer describe how jack recovered his body in more details rather than just having him being able to talk and fight with Cal all of the sudden. I liked the little scene in which they meet with Molly. The "money" incident ended the story smoothly.
Man in the Iron mask
Even though this is just a short paragraph of thoughts of Philippe while he was in prison by the writer but clearly described his thoughts of others blacken his name and his hope of getting out of the darkness everyday. This again emphasis the fact that he was brought in this world with unlucky fate and unfairness. A great man in the iron mask's one-shot.
2010 Before the End
This is a nice brief insight of moments between Sasha and Tamara before the end of the world. The dialogue between the two was well written. Sasha's unhappiness is clearly seen just like in the movie. Tamara's feelings also got introduced which was nice. Since the story is about the end of the world, it would also be good to touch on how they see a glimpse of hope in more details.
1 Litre of Tears/1リットルの涙
The diary was broken down into two parts with Aya and Asou's thoughts that was never conveyed to each other. Both "one day" and "one night"reminded me of how sad the drama is. This fanfic is ideal for a narration story. Words and phrases which are
been used are also prefect to fit the scene. Lovely story.

Juana's Fanfiction
Miracle of Love
My fan fiction is based on the movie" Australia", it is one of my favorite movies about love, war, separation and reunion. I changed the ending a little bit of how they reunited and made it more exciting.
Introduction
This is a love story which happened in Darwin during the 1930's, Sarah Ashley came from London to meet her husband in the Faraway Downs farm of Darwin. Before Sarah arrived, her husband was murdered by Neil Fletcher who worked for him and wanted to have Lord Ashley's farm to himself. An aboriginal boy Nullah and cowboy Drover helped Sarah Ashley successfully to 1500 cattles and to keep the farm running. Sarah fell in love with Drover later and they brought up Nullah together, three different person from three different background constructed a happy family.
In 1939, Japan attacked Darwin, this happy family was broken up but miracle has happened -they were reunited , this fanfiction is about how this family reunited again.
Sarah was very excited that morning , she knew that she will have Nullah home again since he was taken to the Mission Island with other boys. She misses him everyday and could not wait for this day to come.
She changed shift with Cath Fletcher who worked with her in the telecommunication centre. She walked with enthusiasm and was singing to herself. Ivan asked her: " Hi, Sarah, why are you so happy today?" She said: " I will go to pick up my boy. He will be back from Mission Island today!" then she hugged Ivan and said goodbye to him. No one knew the war was coming.
After a few hours, lines of airplanes from Japan attacked the Darwin. The city collapsed by bombs immediately, there were fire and dead bodies everywhere . The building where Sarah worked was fully destroyed , people thought Sarah was dead. Mission Island was attacked as well. Nullah might have died as well.
Drover was far away from Darwin when he saw many cars and trucks passed by, he realized that something wrong has happened. He immediately thought about Sarah and Nullah. He had an argument with Sarah a few weeks ago about Nullah and anger lead him leaving his family. " Are they safe?". Morgarri(Drover's ex-brother-in-law) blamed him :"You shouldn't have left them, you know how much Sarah loves you, you should go to look for them." Before Morgarri finishes his sentence, Drover already rode the horse and left.
When they came back to Darwin. The messy scene shocked them and Ivan told them that Sarah died, Drover cried:" It is all my fault, if i didn't leave her, she wouldn't die!" Suddenly, he thought about Nullah, " I should go save him."
They went to Mission Island and saved all the boys from the killer Japanese soldiers. Drover took the boys back home by a ship.Nullan asked Drover "Where is Mrs Boss? ( He always called Sarah this)". Drover said: " We can't say her name anymore. "( The custom of aborigine is if a person dies, people are not allowed to say his/her name anymore.)
When the ship came back to Darwin, Sarah has already left, she went to England with Sir Emmet's army. Drover and Nullah went back to Far Away Downs to keep running the farm that Sarah has left for them, they started their ordinary life again but they all realise that things will never be the same without Sarah, they still love her very much and she is deep in their heart.
After a few months of living in London Sarah decided to go back to Far Away Downs and run her farm again. She wanted stay where good memories of Nullah and Drover were kept, eventhough she knows that they are not going to be there.
One day, Nullah saw a car coming to Far Away Downs , he climbed to the water tower and looked at the car from up high. The car stopped and a lady got off from the car with a long skirt, a tight shirt and a hat, she held an umbrella in her hand." She looks like Mrs Boss, no, it is impossible, I can't say her name anymore." Nullah came down from the water tower and went near the car to look at that lady more closely and clearly. He could not believe his eyes." Mrs Boss, Mrs Boss, is that you?"
Sarah was shocked :" My God, is this Nullah? Nullah! " She threw the dropped the umbrella, ran to the Nullah and held him up in her arms . " Nullah, I thought you .. I missed you Nullah!" She cried. " Mrs Boss, they said I couldn't say your name anymore." "Nullah, tell me how did you survive and who looks after you now?" Nullah expressed his happiness with a tricky smile ,"Take a guess , Mrs Boss!" Sarah was all confused and had no idea...
The familiar voice appeared, "Nullah, do we have visitors here?" "Drover!" Sarah couldn't control herself and ran to him, Drover was surprised and then shouted:" Sarah, is that you? Am I dreaming?" "Drover , it is her! We can say Mrs Boss's name again!"Nullah shouted.
" I love you Sarah , I will never let you go anymore!" Drover held Sarah tightly in case he loses her again. Sarah said" I love you too, I'm going to be with you forever Drover." Nullah, Sarah and Drover have finally reunited and the three people are back as a perfect family. They lived in Faraway Downs Farm happy ever after.

Freda's fanfiction
Garfield: Mental Stress
I followed with a fanfiction named “Garfield’s piano” and wrote a new continuation about the story between piano and Garfield, Odie and Jon Arbuckle.
Last time, Jon bought a piano and warned Garfield and Odie not to touch it at any time. But with the help of Odie, Garfield played Jon's piano on the sneak when Jon was not at home. Odie was so excited that he jumped on the top of the piano and almost knocked it over. Fortunately, He and Garfield pushed the piano to stand up just as Jon came back home.
This time, when they were playing the piano, Jon came back earlier than before.
Jon opened the door. Garfield and Odie did not notice his coming at all as they were happily playing the piano.
Suddenly, they were terrified as they saw Jon bursting into the room. Odie swiftly hid behind the curtain, Garfield froze on the stool.
Nobody knew what would happen.
“Excellent! Wonderful! I’m going to show you guys to my colleagues” Jon hugged Garfield and said.
“WHAT?! REALY?!” yelled Garfield and Odie with surprise.
“Yes, tomorrow. I’ll invite all my colleagues to come to my home; you guys will be playing the piano in front of them. I want Tony to see how genius my pets are. He always boasted about his stupid parrot in our office, I’m sick of him for a long time.” said Jon excitedly.
Garfield and Odie were shocked again.
“Can I absent your invitation?” Garfield just wanted to ask with audacity.
“No excuses for absence." Jon seemed to figure out Garfield’s intent.
"You guys must pay out for your disobedience of the rule.” said Jon.

“Come, Odie! Keep practicing piano with Garfield. I’m going to make a big meal for you guys.” Jon was skipping and humming into the kitchen in his unusual weird way .
Garfield stared at Odie bitingly “Odie, you must want to play the piano in front of the strangers vey much?”.
“wuwuwu” Odie shook his head madly.
“Yes, great musicians like us will never play piano for the stupid people. We mus
t think of a strategy to stop this horrible idea.” Garfield said.
Odie nodded in agreement.
Garfield had brainwave and whispered to Odie about his plan.
Odie ran toward the kitchen. Garfield sneaked into the bathroom.
“wuwuwu” Odie shook his head madly.

Odie ran toward the kitchen. Garfield sneaked into the bathroom.
“Gu,gu…” Odie purred around the feet of Jon.
“Excite or Hungry, Odie? Wait, I’m cooking your favorite food.” Said Jon.
Odie saw Garfield was back and groveled on the floor. He changed his voice, screamed and jumped onto the table.
“No, Odie, come down!” Jon commanded.
Odie stood there for a second then jumped down the table. “Good boy!” praised Jon.
Just as Jon thought Odie had probablely calmed down, Odie started to scratch the sofa.
“Hey! Stop, Odie! What’s wrong with you?” shrieked Jon with anger.
Odie barked and ran around the sofa, the table and all the rooms, then furiously clawed at the curtains near Garfield.
Jon ran over to stop Odie. He spotted Garfield crawling on the floor, looking very uncomfortable. Jon asked surprisedly: “What is the matter, Garfield?”, and petted Garfield’s head.
Doing so he felt his hand was a little bit wet. “Oh, Garfield, are you sick?”
Garfield looked at Jon weakly and responded “Yes, mental stress-- heavy pressure.”
“Pressure??” asked Jon confusedly, “Oh, Calm down! Garfield. I’m making the most delicious lasagna for you. After you eat, you’ll be fine”
“Lasagna!” in his mind ,Garfield saw a delicious plate. He was slavering and so hungry.

“I know you Garfield, as long as you eat lasagna, everything will be fine. You and Odie must give a big surprise to them, big, big surprise…” Jon said as he was walking to kitchen.
Garfield looked at the back of Jon.
“Our acting definitely needs to be upgraded, Odie.” he said in a low voice.
Odie n
odded then barked and ran around the rooms. He jumped up and down and pushed many things over. Jon scolded him loudly. He still kept moving.
“You probably are so very hungry, come, Odie, I’ve made the best steak for you.” Jon took out a plate with a big piece of steak, very delicious smell.
Odie stopped and stared at the steak drooling.
He quickly peeped at Garfield who was squinting at him but still groveled on the ground.
Odie seemed to understand Garfield’s meaning. He picked the steak up with his mouth and ran again…
“Stop, Odie! Why does Odie become so crazy now?” Jon shooked his head.
“That is all your fault!” thought Garfield.
Jon was taking a large plate of lasagna towards Garfield.
“Hi, good boy, see, your favorite, cheer up!” Jon said friendly.
The aroma of lasagna drifted closer to his nose, Garfield gulped his slaver back hard, but he still bent over the floor without moving.
“Garfield, you don’t want to eat l-a-s-a-g-n-a?” Jon asked turgidly.
Garfield unexpectedly stilled on the ground. This never happened before.

Jon looked at Odie running around crazilywith the steak in his mouth, and looked down at Garfield bending over the floor without any appetite. He suddenly understood something.
“Ok, I’ve changed my idea. I will not invite the people to come to our house tomorrow.” Jon exclaimed.
Odie stopped.
Garfield looked up to him for a moment, and then lowered his head on the ground again.
Odie resumed his crazy runing.
“OK, okay, not only tomorrow, never, I’ll never ever ask them to come here, OK?” Jon announced.
“Woo-hu!”
Garfield jumped on to the lasagna and munched happily .
Odie stopped running, was exhausted and collapsed next to Jon's feet. The steak fell on the floor; he didn’t want to eat it anymore.
Poor Odie, he was too tired.
Odie stopped.

My FanFiction
Well... I finished my FanFiction so far... It is about a story in the "Silmarilion" a book by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Introduction
The story is set in Middle Earth; however this episode takes place much earlier than “The Lord of the Rings” (Third Age). It tells about the fall of the city Gondolin (First Age) through the eyes of a young elf called Elenya.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A GREAT WARRIOR
“Psst!” I heard him whispering to me but did not dare to look. Mother and father stood close to me as we waited at the greate city wall for the first rays of the morning sun. “The Gate of Summer” is this feast called, a celebration of the ever-returning light. “Elenya…” he called out for me again, suddenly taking my hand. For one moment I stiffened, then, as silently as possible, slipped away from my parents who were engaged in a conversation with acquaintances. We walked a few steps; nervously I kept glancing back.
As we hid I took a deep breath. “How could you,” I asked him. “What if they see us?” “One day they will,” he answered and gently stroked my cheek. Glorfindel did not care too much about this matter but I did. In Gondolin they praised my beauty and charm but I was just 30 years old, a ridiculously short period of time for an elf, and my parents feared for me so they did not tolerate any male elf near me. But I was in love with Glorfindel, the golden haired warrior and we met in secret whenever we could. “I think this is not a good time to talk,” I told him. After one last look into these sparkling green eyes I turned around to leave but he grabbed my arm. He kissed my forehead and I smiled. I had to go. Without a noise I sneaked back to my parents. Luckily no one had noticed my absence.
It was about time. Any minute the sun should rise and I was waiting for it dearly since my eyelids were heavy. Almost falling asleep at the spot I tried to concentrate at the sky in the east. For a brief moment I turned my head to look for my beloved. I could not find him but something else attracted my attention. Soon others noticed it as well: The red shine of fire had risen in the east. Worriers and guards rushed past us, my father left mother and me behind to follow them. Promptly everyone panicked but nobody knew what had happened.
We started running, I lost track of my mother and stayed where I had last seen her. Unexpectedly someone seized my wrist. “Come with me, I know where to go.” It was Glorfindel and I was relived to have him by my side. Then I thought about my parents. “What about mother and father,” I asked him but he shook his head. We had no idea where they could be and no time to look for them. “What is actually happening here?” He threw an arm around my shoulders and pushed me faster forward. “Maeglin betrayed us to Morgoth,” he explained. “He came with orcs, balrogs and even dragons. The city is lost.” I could not believe what my ears heard; this could not be true. “Thanks to the Lady Idril Celebrindal there is a secret tunnel leading out of the city into the mountains. Let us hope many find their way down there.”
We rushed past fighting and fire. Glorfindel drew his sword as we came across some orcs. This was the first time I saw such foul creatures. Near the stables we saw a white stallion aggressively kicking some wolves. My beloved whistled once and it followed us. It was his steed Asfaloth. We reached the entrance to the passageway. The Lady Idril stood next to the door holding her little son Eärendil. “You must hurry my lady,” Glorfindel urged but she just shook her head in silence.
It took two hours to reach the other side of the tunnel. When we stepped out of the twilight into the now shining morning sun I saw that a lot of other elves were among us. I enfolded Glorfindel and clung tightly to his chest. The blond elf patted my back, then freed himself from my embrace and lifted my up and on his horse. As we moved forward I used my high position to overview the crowd. I could see the Lady Idril and her son, close to her, her spouse the Lord Tuor. However I could not find my parents. I was not sure what I should feel at this moment: grief for my family or joy to be with him - Glorfindel.
The journey took long and as we crossed a mountain pass it became cold, too cold for our inappropriate robes. Just when we thought we made it through all this the worst occurred: Orcs have been watching the paths close to the city and now one troop spotted us. They came running or riding on wargs, trying to kill as many as possible. The few warriors in our company fought bravely. They had almost repelled the creatures as more evil found its way to the battlefield. First we perceived a loud roar; then a body of flame and fire came closer and closer. A balrog. Tuor let out a loud yell and ran towards the beast but could not withstand its power for long. Other elves did the same, among them Glorfindel. Out of nowhere more orcs rushed towards us. Glorfindel ordered the other worriers to take care of them, he himself tried to fight the fire demon alone. I could not stand watching this; I knew that my worst fears would become reality.
Suddenly my hope raise. In the sky I saw the shapes of two large birds flying exactly in our direction. “ Eagles!” I shouted and the others turned their head. Soon they reached us. The slightly smaller one dived down on the orcs and their mounts; the bigger one was Thorondor, the King of Eagles. He helped my love to defeat the balrog. Then my heart stood still, my mind went blank. With my own eyes I saw Glorfindel falling down the cliff together with the beaten demon. Thorondor dashed after him but when I saw the mighty bird again it carried the brave warrior's dead body in its claws.
Carefully the eagle put down the dead elf and then left with a sorrowful call. I threw myself on the body of my beloved, kissed him and waited for a sign that he was still alive. But no breath, no heartbeat was to hear. He was gone.
*
The next day he was buried under a heavy stone slab. We had to keep moving or would face another ambush. I walked at the end of the crowd, next to me Glorfindel’s steed Asfaloth. Walking steadily forward I held on to the stallion’s neck, patting him from time to time.
Later we reached a secure area to rest. Under the willows of Nan-tathren we had a feast in memory of those who perished in Gondolin and also Glorfindel, loved by many. Many songs were sung but my heart could not allow me to join their singing.
From this day on I spent all my years praying to the Valar I did wish for nothing but a single thing: to get the love of my life back. Then one day, in the Third Age, the unbelievable happened. Never touched by anyone I still became pregnant and I gave birth to a son. His hair was golden as the sun. He did not just resemble him; he was Glorfindel, sent back by the Valar to help Middle Earth in one of its darkest hours. And so I experienced an entirely new way to love him.
