Keegan's 10 Fanfic

Tekken/ Streetfighter: The Iron World Warrior Tournament

This Particular Fanfic is a crossover between two original game franchises: Street Fighter and Tekken . The author has written it in third person in a way that helps the reader to visualize these scenes as a movie-like situation. The description of the clothes was abit excessive and major characters mentioned in the opening were not even mentioned but on the whole quite a good read and easy to visualize what is going on. This was written in the present tense and quite a good spin off which will also help others to expand on the idea.

Mortal Kombat- Scorpion's Revenge

The author has written this using a third person POV in the present tense, with  touches of past tense used every now and then. A nice spin-off at the end of the story was used which is able to keep the reader asking for more and becoming more anxious. The core structure of Mortal Kombat is still kept such as the rivalry between sub-zero and scorpion with a nice variation on the killer of scorpions family. The setting of this story jumps all over the place from before the tournament, during the tournament to a few years later etc.

Airbender- The Black Fire & The Blue Spirit

The author has presented the main character to us through the use of a 1st person point of view. The use of this POV helps the reader build a closer relationship with the character and get a better understanding of the situations he is in. The story is seen to be a continuation of the original Avatar series but with this story being presented to us through the eyes of another character. The main "elements" of the original avatar story are still the base of this new avatar off-set with a few variations of the powers. A nice piece of work but towards the middle /end of the story strayed off topic otherwise it was quite a good read.

Ninja Assassin- The 12 Zodiacs

This was a nice piece of fanfiction work. The author uses a prologue at the start to tell the reader how this is continued on from the original story. The POV is mostly written in 3rd person and presented us as a sequel from the first movie. Again the main ideas of the movie are still present here such as the main character, and the ninja like qualities and skills which made the first movie what it was. The end of this fanfic also has present a cliff hanger with Kirkiko's sister now starting to form a bond with Raizo. This is set in either the present or sometime in the near-future.

Tekken- Battle's Within

This is seen to be the first chapter of possibly a short story series. This fanfic is mostly in 3rd person POV and is mostly dominated by dialogue. The author used probably just the right amount of dialogue as too much would provide alot of back and forth situations, and too little would just cause the story to just drag on and get nowhere. As the Tekken storyline does jump a round abit and has a lot of pathways it can take, the author here is seen to provide their own beginning of their Tekken series. It is most likely set after Tekken 3 sometime and set in the present.

Airbender- Stormbenders

A fairly long but good spin-off of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender. This piece of fanfic introduces a new element that can be controlled which adds more pathways for other fanfics. This story is written in 3rd person and is set sometime either after Aang defeated the fire lord or sometime along their journey to learn the elements. This is a good fanfic which also presents a good sense of originality with the use of a new race: the stormbenders. The main characters are still kept such as Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Aang and Toph so there is still that foundation of the original Avatar still there and not straying too far off of the main storyline but perhaps also creating a new adventure and taking the Avatar series down a new pathway.

Tekken- The Kazama Mishima Connections 2

This takes the Tekken story line through another pathway and through eyes of Jin Kazama's mother, Jun Kazama. The author uses a third person POV throughout the entire chapter with dialogue dominating most of the text. The text is set during the present time and around about the time of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 4. Again, this author still uses the original characters from the Tekken series, but creates a new storyline about Jun Kazama. This was a nice take on the Tekken storyline as the reader is able to get a feel of who Jun Kazama is and what she has gone through in her life. It also gives detail about the character so that people won't be confused to who she is. Quite a nice piece of work to read.

Mortal Kombat- Smoke And Ice

This is quite a descriptive piece of fanfiction, due to the fact that the author explains in detail where this story takes place within the Mortal Kombat series. The author has also taken this down another pathway and jumps from setting to setting which are clearly stated by the sub-headings. The author has written this as a sequel to either the main original storyline or as a sequel of his own series. This piece of work can also be seen to be the start of an episode with the use of a rhetorical question creating a cliff hanger. This work is written in 3rd person POV giving the reader the chance to get a more broader sense of what is going on instead of being all one-sided if it was in 1st person POV. Again this author has kept main characters and has also brought back a new sub-zero which still continues the rivalry between sub-zero and scorpion. Again a nice read.

Tekken- The Jin Saga 2

This particular fanfic is more of the author's view of what happened to Heihachi Mishima and also of how Devil Jin came to be again. It more or less targets the transformation again of Jin Kazama into Devil Jin. The story is written in 3rd person POV to help create the effect for the reader to get a more broader look at what the situation is. It also helps the reader understand what happened at the Mishima labs and the explosion and how it came around and also who instigated it. The tense that the author has used is the present tense so that the reader won't be dragging behind in the past waiting for something to happen. Very little conversation takes place throughout this story but it was still a good read as it still continues the storyline of the Tekken series but through the view point of yet another author.


Tekken/Street Fighter- Street Fighter x Tekken

This is another video link. This definitely can be classed under fanfiction as this again is a crossover between the two gaming series: Street Fighter and Tekken. This in fact is a video game that is due to come out soon. The creators of the game have taken fighting games to another level by combining two of the most popular gaming series together in one. The down side of this game is the fact that the two games differ in some major aspects which make the games what they are today. What I mean by this is that in Street Fighter, you can see that they use "super powers" (as shown by Ryu performing his legendary Hadoken), whereas in Tekken they only use standard fighting skills and only have electrical outburst when showing it is going to be a powerful attack. However, the main characters are still seen to be kept such as Kazuya(Tekken) and Ryu( Street Fighter). This new game also is seen to incorporate the tag team feature as seen on many street fighter games and also Tekken Tag. This still to me seems to be a powerful piece of fanfiction by taking the two games, power against power and bringing them under one roof. Again still quite a clever piece of work and something that will again open up more pathways for fanfiction and creating opportunities for people to alter the story lines of both games, such as Ryu is Kazuya's long lost son etc.
