Callum's 5 fan fiction links


The story starts with quite an interesting scenario having Vegeta, a known tough guy strolling through the park. After abruptly meeting and arguing about intelligence and terrorism with George Bush, they engage in a full out battle. Ending with an ego struck prince of saiyans (Vegeta) and a robot revealed George Bush trying to push his views right to the end.

I liked the fact that the author brought some of Geore Bush's presidential flaws into the story. I didnt like Vegeta's dialogue as it was not characteristic of him in parts, i think the author could have looked at this area abit more.



2. Terminator fan fiction


Kyle has survived the nuclear blasts and living in a terminator run world. Working as a slave outside with other human survivors, he starts to have ideas of escaping from the terminators.

The author introduces an interesting idea of the life kyle faces after the nuclear attacks, and is very plausible. I liked that it was'nt too overboard right from the start. I thought there was too much narrative passage and not enough dialogue from the characters.





3. Conan fan fiction

Conan has a drunken and lovemaking filled night with a girl he meets.
His friends pull a prank on him by putting a snake in the bed waiting for when he wakes up.

I like the author has made a humorous adventure showing Conan's party boy side. The writing was very well in most parts, very descriptive. I think it should have been more explicit.




4. Family guy fan fiction

Chris Griffin falls off a bike and meets a girl. Coincidentally, she goes to the same school. Chris loves the fact that she is a movie buff.

Chris's character was not funny enough for me, as with the father's dialogue. Being a family guy fan fiction I would have liked to see more Stewie in the dialogue. I think the ending left abit to be explained aswel.

5. Simpsons fan fiction

This chapter of simpsons fan fiction starts with them sitting at the table.
Homer starts to go through the mail. He finds a letter with music script
on it and throws it out. Lisa, irritated with homer's ignorance, grabs the
letter from the bin and heads to he room, then dozes off to sleep.

This chapter was very good right from the start. I liked the setting in the
family home that was created. Also, the dialogue was comedic and suited the characters well.

Callum's fan fic draft

Conan comes down under

The year is 20,000BC, an age of warriors, a time where men wander the vast wilderness surviving on what they kill. Among these men there is one who is mightier than all others. He is fearless in battle with strength that can only be a gift from the gods...he is Conan.

Straight away Conan is in hunting mode, eyes searching side to side, walking carefully like he is crosing over thin ice. Undetectable to the surrounding animals, Conan is able to enter further into their territory. Perched beside a large tree, Conan waits patiently, he knows there are many wild boar that pass through here. The waiting pays off, Conan first hears something passing closeby, he leans his head out slowly from the side of the tree to see what it is. To his stomachs delight, it is a large male boar. Conan clutches his broad sword tightly and follows the creature into a pocket of trees. Just as Conan is closing in on his prey, the boar makes a run for it. Conan starts to chase the boar deeper into the forest, panting and groaning furiously, his sword still clutched in his huge hand. The boar sharply ventures to the right, Conan slips and falls down a shrub filled bank. His arms and legs toppling over each other, his body violently thuds the ground at the bottom.

Shaking, with his arms and legs in agony, Conan gets back on his feet. Looking at his surroundings he spots a strange machine standing closeby. It is something Conan has never seen before, materials such as glass, painted metal surfaces and latches intrigue Conan to go and inspect in more detail. Conan opens the latch on the glass door and enters. The inside capsule is just large enough for his enormous body. Inside is filled with buttons, gauges and strange writings that a Hyborian warrior like Conan has never seen before. Like a kid with a new toy, Conan begins to push some of the buttons. A strange noise comes on, and lights start flashing. " what is this sorcery..." Conan says with a slight sense of nervousness. Suddenly, the glass door closes, the machine starts starts to buzz and spin around furiously knocking Conan around the inside of the capsule. "ARGHH!! GYAHH!!" Conan yells with his mouth wide open. The spinning intensifies and the noise gets louder. Inside the capsule it has turned black, leaving conan in complete disarray. After afew minutes the machine comes to a halt. It is now visible inside the capsule, and an alarm goes off for afew seconds like a washing machine at the end of its cycle.

Conan still in shock, opens the glass door and exits the capsule. Looking aound, Conan does not recognise this place. Inadvertantly stepping into a time capsule, Conan has arrived at the top of Mount Eden, the year is 2011. "Krom!!...why am i here!!...what is this place!!" yells Conan with his bottom lip drooping.  After seeing strange machines carrying people (tour busses) Conan makes a run down the hill to escape the possible unknown danger. Stumbling onto the footpath his eyes lock onto the skytower. Never having seen such an amazing sight. Conan starts walking towards the skytower...thinking it is where his god (krom) may be dwelling. Arriving onto Queen street, people begin to stare at Conan, a 6ft 5 inch tall muscle bound Hyborian warrior. "what the hell are you doing walking around dressed in leather briefs you freak!" yells a  pedestrian dressed like a wannabe rapper. Conan, mistaking the comment as a challenge, begins to beat the man until he is unconscious. Other pedestrians see what is happening and call the police. Hearing the sirens coming closer, Conan starts running through Aotea square. Along the way Conan smashes through John Key who is standing still like a stunned mullet eating an ice cream. The police are closing in on Conan, the dogs have been released and are biting at his heels. Conan turns around and with one wave of his enormous broad sword, maim's the chase dogs. Conan makes it onto wellesley street, a police car skids and stops infront of him. The officer opens his door to step out of the car until Conan starts to smash the bonnet and windscreen with his broad sword. More police start arriving at the scene. Conan continues to run towards the skytower hoping he can consolidate with Krom. Conan arives at the base of the skytower, the police have cordened off the area and have their guns drawn. Conan looks up at the skytower, "KROM!! why have you brought me here?? these people are trying to kill me...give me some answers...if you don't then  TO HELL WITH YOU!!"

Conan resisted arrest...a bloody scuffle resulted in many cops wounded and Conan dead. He was a warrior who had conquered in his time...but was no match for Auckland City. He was legend...he was Conan.
