You Don’t Know What You Do To Me from La Corda d'Oro
You Don’t Know What You Do To Me by kalen1
Coupling: Len Tsukimori x Hino Kahoko (from La Corda d’Oro)
Rating: Mature
Chapters: 8
Summary: It all started from day one when Tsukimori Ren suddenly appeared during her slumber after a long practice. Then it turned to secret meetings until emotions suddenly shattered. What are they going to do to overcome everything?
My Thoughts: One of my favourites among La Corda d’Oro fanfictions. Len and Kahoko are at their most lustful states imaginable, turning the amazingly sweet manga/anime into a shameless erotic experience. The story length is great and with every chapter offering something new to Len and Hino’s growing sexual relationship. I had small issue was the grey areas of consent that appear twice, and I also thought the Romanization of some Japanese words were unnecessary to add.

Hold Me, Reviewed
Hold Me by YenGirl
Coupling: Zero and Yuki (from Vampire Knight)
Rating: Mature
Chapters: 60
Summary: HOLD ME forever, in your life, in your arms and in your heart.
My Thoughts: A realistic alternative to the Vampire Knight storyline. All characters were true to the original source material with only slight (and welcomed) changes. A great blend of romance and passion. Written longer than most fics, it takes the time to build Zero and Yuki’s relationship and sexual tension. Every few chapters give a rewarding treat for progress in the relationship, making the length (words: 243,580) well worth the experience.

Brothers of the Head was a mockumentary made in 2005 starring Harry and Luke Treadaway as conjoined twins starting a punk rock band in 1970’s Britain.
The story is of Barry and Tom Howe being sold to a talent agent hoping to make a musical sensation by creating a band headed by conjoined twins. Getting started is more difficult than expected with the brothers challenging their untrustworthy manager. They are determined to be individuals worth remembering in their own right, not because they’re considered a freak show. New fame and romance threatens to break apart their relationship.
The film is tremendously exceptional by being a fine mix of smart, witty, daring, heartbreak and sometimes terrifying that is altogether well written, directed and acted. The soundtrack is also pretty amazing and performed by the actual cast. My opinion is it’s a little bit Last Days meets American Horror Story meets the Hitachiin twins from Ouran High.

The Tribe was a show that originally aired from 1999 to 2003 and while it is undoubtedly bizarre and dare I say tacky it has a major cult following for a reason. It is tremendously unique especially when you think about the fact that it was originally made for young teens. Also the character development is pretty good, my first opinion of 90% of characters changed drastically from their arrival to their departure.
When I recommend it to people I say “think of it like the Degrassi franchise set in post-apocalyptic New Zealand” since that’s basically what it is. The themes and characters are akin to the teenage soap genre. They cry and lust but most of all they deal with the basic teenage angst staples (abuse, pregnancy, eating disorders etc.) But it being in post-apocalyptic world gives it an interesting new twist. And while yes at the start I couldn’t stop asking “Why are there kids spending time at the end of the world painting their face and making odd clothes? Surely fashion and clothes didn’t get affected by the virus too.” But I promise you if you stick around long enough you’ll probably find that the kiss science and love to hate character are worth it. And if you like it but can’t get over the silliness of it just play the drinking game my sister and I invented.

When does narrative depth become a burden? Why is it that the melodramatic meanderings so common during Bleach’s battle episodes (and I say ‘episodes’ instead of scenes because Bleach has never been economical with time) are seen as beloved when they form the core of a plot like Fruits Basket’s?
In short: genre. One genre supports an ‘introverted’ narrative- one that takes place largely in the characters’ minds- and one does not.
At their most stripped down, Bleach is a story about a boy fighting enemies. Fruits Basket is a story about a girl making friends. The two plots often intertwine in both works, but a viewer of Bleach never loses the sense of action, of reacting to the present world, which is so common in shonen anime. Similarly, the shojo Fruits Basket assigns its characters’ interactions particular importance from the outset- an importance that stays from the first page to the last. One genre may try to imitate another’s virtues, but as long as the core storyline remains so different, such attempts can never succeed.
There have been action-based stories that had deep plots, but- like most stories of quality- they are few and far between. For example, the manga classic Lone Wolf And Cub follows the travels of a samurai and his child through historical Japan. It set records for long battle scenes- scenes that were frequently intercut with images of the countryside and the child playing innocently beside his father’s carnage.
The symbolism of such interruptions, though obvious, provides an answer to our dilemma: It asks us whether Wolf and Cub was ever really a story about bloodshed at all. Battles are part of it, certainly, and an important part- but they are not core to its plot, as Bleach’s are.
Simply put, Wolf and Cub is about the journey shared by a father and his son. Battles are considered secondary to that both in-universe and out: in the first chapter, Itto delays a fight so he can take Daigoro to the toilet (don’t laugh, the author of this made more money than you ever will), something he resolutely justifies to the soldiers around them. The manga’s finale ends not with Itto’s triumph, as you might expect, but his killer embracing Daigoro and ending the violence between their families.
In comparison, Bleach is infamous for its static characters. Viewers are impatient not because of the introspection, but because they know it will never go anywhere. Bleach has clocked hundreds of chapters by this point, yet only 3 things about it have changed: the protagonists’ powersets, the enemies they fight, and their body count. Both stories are similar, yet their plots and philosophies are diametrically opposite.
The questions I end with have plagued me ever since I watched Sucker Punch: is action, pure action, enough to carry entertainment? And could artists, and people in general, stop being so goshdarned elitist?

Sometimes I’ll be really enjoying a story but then something like “penis” will derail the eroticism for me. I mean it’s just such a formal word. Something slag “cock” or tame like “member” doesn’t make me feel like I should snap on my rubber gloves and inspect the character’s genitals and say ‘Yes, Draco this all seems to be in order, go ravish Ginny after six chapters of sexual tension’.

Dr Fanfiction
I find with fanfiction that people either love it or think it’s a childish disrespect to the original source. No middle ground. I have loved fanfiction since I was 12 but over the years I’ve read a lot of fanfiction so you could say I’m a bit of a snob. But even if I read a fic and think it’s awful or not, in the true spirit of fanfiction I still get it. I get why they made it. I have to say I’m sure at least once every avid movie watcher or reader have loved/hated or that story enough to think about not just 10 minutes after they’ve finished or are having a break between chapters/episodes. Fanfiction just gives the writer freedom to expand their imagination of that story’s universe- possible couples, unexplored possibilities, other characters’ POVs, origin stories, alternate ending, parodies, crossovers, and explaination of implied or under-detailed scenes from the original source material. For example, there are plenty of times I’ve thought I’d like to read an alternative ending to Harry Potter where Voldemort won. Loving the amount story choices people have contributed to that scenario. If they put in the effort to make a story I feel is worth reading, why shouldn’t it be a respected form of literacy?I personally also use it as a tool to develop my confidence and/or skills as an aspiring writer. But basically my point is it’s a harmless tribute to stories. Not an insult or childish. Why don’t people stop badmouthing it? They don’t have to read it or enjoy it but the bad stigma around it is ridiculous.
