Max's links

I literally couldn't find any links on the internet for other peoples' Natural Born Killers fanfics, so I've found a few from similar-ish movies, and some that use similar-ish ideas to me, mainly I wanted to write about something that wasn't shown at all in the movie and some of these are similar.

This is a fanfic of the movie Reservoir Dogs except a child is involved in the job replacing one of the men. It is a pretty out-there concept, quite a high-risk job for a little girl for those who have seen the movie, but it was still an interesting read to see how the author worked such a crazy idea in to the story line. It's told from the child's P.O.V which was good as the author used 'young' language throughout which provided a nice contrast between characters. This helped in the sense that I really wanted to express how Mickey is a ruthless killer, but also hopelessly in love.

This is a fanfic of the film Inglorious Basterds it comprises 4 chapters and deals with the idea that someone in "the bar shootout" survives and the consequential drama. This helped me because it threw the entire storyline out of sync with the original. Although i chose not to alter any part of the main storyline of Natural Born Killers it helped me grasp the idea that it's very possible for a fanfic to keep in character without (or with) changing the storyline.

This is a fanfic of the movie Pulp fiction which interested me because it deals with a character outside the context of the movie, in this case before the movie takes place. It helped me a lot with getting inside my characters' heads because I love the movie and know the characters so well, it showed a different person's perspective on the character which gave me inspiration to develop characters that had already been given a personality.

This is for the movie Apocalypse Now. What interested me about this is it is actually a poem inspired by a character's point of view during a specific scene. It was a change from reading the stories and was good inspiration for not staying within the 'square'. The fact that it was a poem showed me that really there aren't many boundaries within fanfictions and that it's really up to you what you do with the story as long as it relates.

This is a fanfic for Taxi Driver. What i liked about this one was it was set later than the actual film so it gave a sense of taking characters we are already familiar with and putting them in a supposed foreign territory which is what I wanted to do with mine as I'm doing a scene that wasn't actually included in the film.
