Katie's 10 Fanfic Links

I tried to find the movies that have twisted endings and somehow I expected many fan fictions from fanfiction.net. However, only a few fan fictions were posted. Now I think the reason that fans can’t make new story might be obvious. The ending has been already twisted and unexpected in the original.


1. The Sixth sense


The fanfic writer criticised how Malcome never know he was dead during all movie and created the interesting fill-in the blank scene. This story is about the odd conversation when Lynn Sear and Malcome Crowe are in the room together before Cole returns from school. From this story the fanfic writer gave us some clues as writing “Can you respond to what I say like you can hear me?” and “she had never made eye contact”. It is the narrative style, and there are no changes in characters, setting, and plot, but added 1 more scene to give the hint that Malcome is a ghost.




2. The ring

It is like the parody of ‘The Ring’ for the advertisement.
To summary this story, after I watched the unknown video tape, I got the phone call and it said “seven days...”. Later a girl with long black hair covering her face climbed out from TV and said “you didn’t take advantage of our Seven Day Sale”.
The story is simple and a little bit silly, but at least the writer created the new story based on the original story.




3. The descent


In this story, the writer created the relationship between Juno and Sarah as the lesbians during University years, and then the story skipped to present time. The writer mentioned about the attack in the cave and two people in the hospital, and finally Juno and Sarah could start as a couple again in the end as the title of “A good start” implied.
For inserting the different history in the beginning, the whole story line could be changed. It is called ‘Alternative Universe Fiction’.




4. Identity
The writer borrowed the setting which seven people are in at a motel from original movie, but new seven characters were created by the writer. Also, the reason why (or how) seven people could be in at a motel was explained. I guess this is the start of the story, and the writer is going to create the more interesting situation(I mean ‘plot’) with new characters.






5. Seven
The title for this is “the Birth of Se7en”, and it is noted that this is from directly from John Doe’s manuscripts and diaries. First of all, I have no idea who John Doe is. So I searched him through the internet and I found out that he is the main character of the American television series during 2002-2003.
I think this is the type of the crossover. As writing John Doe was born to be a cleaner, not a sinner, and he would punish against 7 sins, the writer mingled the story from “Seven” and the character from “John Doe”.


6. The others

This story continues the end of the original movie subsequently. After they-mother and 2children- found out that they are the ghosts; Grace(mother) made a mind not to leave that house… ever… I think that the writer did not have the brilliant ideas for this story and just tried to create the after-story.






7. Ocean's eleven

As the writer said, this story was inspired by a scene in DIY sheep’s “the contract”, an excellent House MD. Story and the writer just gave it an Ocean’s eleven. Danny and Rusty were still in new fan fiction as the main characters but the story was not about the brilliant stealing story. Actually I prefer the original story because it seems to be right with eleven people in the movie of ‘Ocean’s eleven’.



8. Scream
‘Sidney died’… it is the title, and obviously Sidney died in the ending.
I assumed that this story is the following story of the original because it started from kitchen when Sidney got back from WORK, not school. Furthermore, ghostface said, “tonight you’re going to die and no one else will have to follow Billy and Stu’s footsteps to kill you.” Most of all, the one thing I liked this story is that ghostface revealed his identity to Sidney before she was killed but she didn’t say who it was, and this made me imagined who ghostface might be. Anyway, in the story Sidney was dead by falling from window. We shouldn’t expect more series  of  “Scream” fan fiction.

Lyles was not the main character and just a computer genius in the original movie, but he was arrested in a new fan fiction. I am not sure that the writer will make the story about Lyles continuously or let ‘Charlie(the original main character)’ rescue him. This fan fiction is the chapter 1, so everything might be possible to be happened.





10. Signs

The writer made the point of view from the alien, so the alien is the 1st person in this fan fiction. The Original story was about the mysterious circles in the cornfield, and in the fanfic the alien started to explain what happened at night.
