Fanon Review: Colours by Fruipit
Hey there, here, reviewing by on behalf of the Fanon Review Squad.
Colours is yet another of Fruipit’s excellent one-shots, and seeing as that is the case, I’ve decided to review this category of fanons differently than I usually do. I trust that this method will be a tad more succinct.
But I digress. Colours focuses on a midnight conversation between the last Airbender and the Blind Bandit. It is a beautiful piece where Aang is asked by Toph what color is.
The Good: Fruipit is an incredible storyteller, and it shows in more than just her writing here. This one-shot captures an emotional depth between two characters that we don’t see in the show, and yet it is done with incredible finesse. If you asked me to write a story where someone has…
Fanon Review: Avatar: The Assassin's Sorrow by Agent Slash
Hey there, here, reviewing Avatar: The Assassin's Sorrow by on behalf of the Fanon Review Squad.
It's been eleven months since Hong Wu and Ming defeated General Reiko and the two decided to turn a new leaf. Now they work for the despicable Jun, a madman bent on finding and killing Avatar Aang. In order for the couple to continue working for Jun, they must pass three tests to prove they are worthy. Both Hong Wu and Ming find themselves plunged into deep sorrow as their destinies unfold and their lives are changed forever.
The Assassin’s Sorrow continues where The Assassin’s Legend left off, so the characters of Ming and Hong Wu are already established. And Jun is also well-known to readers of the Slash Trilogy. Needless to say, this piece…
Fanon Review: Sand Dunes by Siwongsandbender
Hey there, here, reviewing by on behalf of the Fanon Review Squad.
I do apologize once again for my lack of progress on these reviews. Fortunately, I'm back in action and will work until I finish the reviews I'm behind on.
Three years have passed since Avatar Aang defeated the Fire Lord and ended the Hundred Year War. But the world is not at peace. One hundred years of brutal fighting has left the world scarred and damaged. Because of the Earth Kingdom's focus on defending themselves, they had little attention for regional conflicts. In the Si Wong Desert, the Sandbending tribes that have lived peacefully for centuries are at the brink of war. What will the future bring for these tribes, and with the world distracted, who will save the de…
Fanon Review: The Water Tribes by WaterMasterFinn
Hey there, here, reviewing by on behalf of the Fanon Review Squad.
This story encompasses the events that transpired to the Northern Tribe separating and eventually leading to the migration to the South. Along the way, the Waterbenders face the dangers in the North and South, as well as witness the Darkest Day in Fire Nation History while traveling the oceans. The Avatar must assist the new Water Tribe, at the risk of the Avatar's own life.
This fanon has serious potential, with a unique story and setting that allow for an original tale. However, it lacks the proper plot structure and character development to truly carry its weight. WaterMasterFinn has a prospective fanon, but it does need definite fine-tuning.
Scores:
Story – 7.0: The stor…
Fanon Review: Special Hell by Fruipit
Hey there, here, reviewing by on behalf of the Fanon Review Squad.
Well folks, this is a new one! I’ve never before had to review a comedy one-shot, but I shall give it my best go. Seeing as Fruipit has managed to convolute everything that would’ve made this a normal review, I will resort to simply talking about what I read.
Taking from numerous pop culture phenomena, The People Who Talk at the Theatre (or Special Hell, for those of you who know and love the prematurely-cancelled Firefly) is a submission for Omashu Rocks’ comedy contest. As such, it manages to capture an erratic, but loveable, sense of humor within the interactions of Zuko and Sokka in the messed up world where they reside.
Special Hell brings a random, bizarre story that …
