A Different Kind of Truth, a Persona 4/JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Crossover by The Infamous Man - "Overall, I'd say this fanfic is not only a good example of how to write an epic-length novelization of an existing material (expanding upon, detailing or even changing certain themes and ideas to take advantage of the much more free medium) but also a good example of how to properly balance out your full-character crossovers." - From, gorilla_fingers' review of Chapter 30.

One Piece: Ultimate Adventure, a One Piece Fan Fiction by ultimatedbzmaniac - "Overall, I'd say that this fanfic shows that, even in canon materials where the canon is of good quality and people generally like it, there's no harm in messing with it or changing things up and can, in fact, give us new stories that are interesting and, in some ways, more grounded than parts of the original. Even if it's not broken, there's no harm in messing around with the parts if it'll produce good material." - From, gorilla_fingers' review of Chapter 29.

Brother on Board, a One Piece Fan Fiction by J0HNS1LVER - "Over all, I'd say that this story shows that writers are an evolving and improving people. Oda himself released a version of Romance Dawn before the proper series we all know now was fully released, and it can be guaranteed that there changes made before, during and after the release of this pilot material. On this site, we sometimes have the unfortunate pleasure of seeing a writer beginning to come into this, their skills and story improving over time as they become experienced and find their legs. However, with a well fitting O.C., changes made to the canon both broad and fine in detail and a strong understanding of the characters and their responses to situations, this story shows that with a little patience one can find very worthy and very entertaining stories come to fruition." - From, gorilla_fingers' review of Chapter 21/20

Joseph Joestar: Hamon Hunter, a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure/Rewby Crossover by lolrus555 - "Joseph Joestar: Hamon Hunter shows us that an author with a lot of care and a lot of mind towards characterization can maneuver around the pitfalls of and weaknesses of even generally ill-regarded fanfiction plot archetypes. Sloth, not inherit worth, is the mark of a poorly written fanfiction, and so long as authors are diligent, always work to improve their skills and work for the sake of their story rather than just indulgence, even batty concepts can be written well and written to entertain." - From, gorilla_finger's review of Chapter 16

Better Left Unsaid, a Naruto Fanfiction by Kenchi618 - "Better Left Unsaid shows us that even the roughest diamonds can be removed from the sand they're buried in and polished to a new shine. One that makes us appreciate the qualities of a series that we may have fallen out of, and make us recall what good it was that brought us into the fandom in the first place. Naruto has long since fallen out of my heart as it concerns the series proper, yet still, fanfiction that strives to do something interesting with the series with good character writing and an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the series wont' fail to bring me back in." - From, gorilla_finger's review of Chapter 73

Letters to Winter, a RWBY Fanfiction by Mallobaude and Just A Few Pointers, a RWBY Fanfiction by Myareska - "Over all, both Letters to Winter and Just A Few Points exemplify that core oddity in fan fiction; that multiple talented people can work on the same basic idea and create two entirely unique flavors to it that are both worth reading. Because each individual author is a unique spirit with their own voice, their own consideration and their own talents for writing. Whether you like one more than the other is all down to your own taste, but the fact that we all get to indulge ourselves on so many different readings that can offer up such a wide variety of different flavors and takes on stories and characters we know and like/love, depending on how into this stuff you are, is a treat for the fans. As I've said before and I'll say again and again, even old ideas or popular ideas or ideas that have been done before can feel fresh and original with a skilled enough hand and a fresh coat of paint." - From, gorilla_finger's reviews of Chapter 20 of both fics

Inkaster gorilla_fingers' favorite authors

Coeur Al'Aran - author of too many good stories to succinctly list, "But, this is the strength of Coeur's work: not only is it solid romance with a solid founding in both formula and characterization, but there's a fic for just about everyone here...

Coeur is an exemplary author because he's able to not only write with such consistent mechanical quality, with such core understanding of characterization and the flow and feel of stories but also because of the breadth of substance he's able to provide his readers. No one fic here ever feels like it's stale or that it's a retread of his previous work. Even ones with slightly older ideas are done with so much polish and so much genuine work that they feel new again. Who knows how long Coeur will write for himself and few us, his readers. But one thing is for certain, it's that there'll be something for just about everyone and that it'll all be worth the read." - From, gorilla_finger's review of The Entertainer's 12/11th Chapter
