User blog:AustinDR/Ranking AnimationFan15's Fanfics

There are a select few fanfic writers that I remotely like. Now, I have stated my overall opinion on fanfiction in general, but I'm slowly starting to like a few. Of course I have talked to death about writers like UnderratedHero and That Engineer (which makes me wonder if I should review Syn" the one that's hard to spell; though since I have already stated my opinions on this to death I'll let it slide). As for here....I have read a few, not as many as I would like to, but I haven't seen an especially horrible one yet. However, I generally dislike fanfics meant to "fix" a bad episode. Not only are they numerous, but they're also excessive and only exist because the user wanted to vent their anger by making an alternative scenario to an episode they despised. Now....AnimationFan15. Don't really know the guy personally; heck, don't really no anyone here in general, but he seems nice. I do watch him over at deviantART, and I do find him one of my favorite of LH artists probably up there with JFMStudios, CoyoteRoom, JumpAroundJumpJump, and many more. Well, some of JFMStudio's works can be seriously messed up (when a talking dorito comes to you asking if you want to make a deal, get out of dodge).

Now, for his fanfics....okay, I haven't read all of them, just the ones that seem to be more widely acclaimed. For the most part, I enjoy them. Some could pass off as actual episodes of the show even. I am hoping to rank some other users' fanfics, but for now, here are some of AnimationFan15's fanfics that I genuinely liked.
 * 1) Whitewashed: This is my favorite of his for some reason. In it, Lincoln's comic book gets destroyed by his sisters after they mistook it for being insensitive to them. Lincoln tells them the mother of all swear words - which leaves the entire town shocked (wonder how Mr. Grouse reacted to it; he'd probably congratulate him) - and he gets his mouth washed out with soap, and gets beaten for his trouble. OK, I like the story, especially when the sisters make a comic for Lincoln as an apology. But.....there's something that keeps me from fully liking it. For one, it's mean-spirited. If it was played for laughs I'd have no problem. But it's not. It's honestly unsettling how the sisters beat the crap out of Lincoln. I mean, cleaning out his mouth wasn't bad enough so they had to beat the fear of God in him. Now, this isn't like Syngesophobia where at the least it portrays realistic consequences for the girls going too far in beating Lincoln; here, there's really no levity to it. It just happens out of the blue, and then it's never mentioned again. I know that this prompts Lincoln to avoid speaking with them, but it honestly felt that it was added just for the sake of making it more dramatic. Besides that....really? Am I to believe that Lincoln punching Lori squarely in the face would knock her out? No.....simply no. Okay, I can get behind Lincoln punching Lola down the stairs (oh, that's coming), but Lori is like 6 years older than Lincoln. Am I to believe that an 11-year-old boy is able to deck his 17-year-old sister without trouble? No. Lincoln's not Saitama; he can't hit someone with one punch. No, don't use that "anger makes you stronger" garbage. Overall, I like this story, but I believe that it's too mean-spirited towards Lincoln.
 * 2) Loudcasts: Lincoln's coming in for two! Now, the sisters overwork Lincoln, and he takes all of his vent up rage out on Chandler. OK, I love that part; I hate Chandler with a burning passion. When Lincoln is asked why he did this by Huggins, it leads to the girls being ostracized by the whole town. Now, this was another good one. OK, I did love Lincoln being savage; it makes him more assertive than his canon self. There aren't that many complaints that I have for this one. I am still currently reading this one, so I can't make a final judgment on this one. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll update later if I can.
 * 3) Diary of a Loud: I come bearing several grievances with this story. Basically, Lola reads Lincoln's journal for show-and-tell, Lincoln gets made a laughstock at school, Lola gets sent to the hospital, yadda, yadda, yadda. Yes....the punch. Alright, I can see that Lola messed up and all that, but getting sent to the hospital is a bit too much. Alright, so Lincoln punches in the face...and this propels her off the stairs, knocking her unconscious.....WHAT?!!!!!!!!! Alright, there are so many problems I have with this scene. For one, I can't accept the idea that a single punch is all that it takes for Lola to fall down the stairs. Second, Lincoln could've killed Lola. I know that he was mad; if I had a sibling, and they did something like that, I'd be mad too, but I wouldn't put their lives in danger like that. Or how about the fact that Lincoln gets off scot-free for ehat he did. I mean, he doesn't get grounded for a month? I know AnimationFan15 explained why the parents were absent from the story, but surely they would be made aware of what happened to their daughter. You know, in fact I am going to start a segment called "Questionable Parenting" in which it will be a tally of how many times Mr. and Mrs. Loud are awful parents (well, I like Rita for reasons.......). So, Lincoln not only doesn't get punished for injuring his sister, but he did it for a terrible reason. Speaking of which......I don't buy Ronnie Anne breaking up with Lincoln just because he watched that Dream Boat show. I get Ronnie Anne laughing at Lincoln for being effiminate like that, but breaking up with him for that? If Lincoln did something more severe - like seeing another girl behind Ronnie Anne's back - I'd get dumping him. But it takes a feminine show for her to kick Lincoln to the curb? Even when he treats her good? The ending to the story, I don't buy that either. It's heartwarming, yes, but I feel that it undermines the fact that Lincoln nearly killed Lola. I get that there are some fans who hate Lola, and want her to get a punch in the face all the way to the Moon, but I just feel that this story in particular was the most hateful.
