Reviews for Ginger Snaps: The Feral Bond
JustinH88 chapter 37 . 8/10/2014
I don't read fan fiction, but as a fan of Ginger Snaps, and considering the ending of Unleashed, I wanted to see Brigitte get a better fate with the possibility of a cure. So great job on writing this epic alternate sequel especially if this is your first piece of writing. I now feel compelled to write a review (as I do after reading books, find me on Goodreads).
As a fellow aspiring writer of horror and dark fiction, here's some feedback. I enjoyed the references to the original movie, and felt it stayed true to Brigette and Ginger's characters. I also found this to be a real page turner and a fast paced story with good psychological horror mixed with the supernatural.
The writng itself could use a lot of work, (description, pacing, atmosphere, etc.), but it's understandable if you're a newer writer, and from the time this was written, you've likely gotten better. I also felt there were too many characters, and some weren't relevant other than to up the body count. For using multiple viewpoints, I'd focus on switching between a few main characters. Because there were a bunch of characters and a high body count, I failed to care for anyone besides Brigitte, Ginger and June. Another thing about pacing and description, it'd be useful especially for horror to use more description, and imagery to create the mood and tone of the scenes and to vary the pace of the story which felt too even for my tastes. Again, I understand writing is hard work.
Thank you for the read, and good luck with your future writing endeavors!

Uh, I don't understand how this story has so few reviews.

This is not only the best GS fanfic, but one of the ten best fanfics I've read, and I've read a lot. It is much better than the original sequel. I liked that movie, but your story is much more interesting and epic. I wish the GS creators had the money to make something like this.

You managed to introduce some complex and realistic characters, which fit nicely into the GS universe. June is the best of them of course, with her keen and yet fractured mind, and her ever changing awareness of what is real and what is not. It was like A Beautiful Mind (was inspired by it, I suspect), but even more tragic. I also liked you take on 'werewolf rules' and other mystic aspects, like ghosts.

And of course, the set up for sequel (or triquel I suppose), although I wish Shannon got better too.

Anyway, it is a fine example of a horror story, much unlike the crap Hollywood gives us lately.

"Wolfy:I didn't really like the new charters because they kinda confused me.. I appositely love you're writing skills and story plots of you're fan fics... f*** perfect 3! the pregnancy bit was a bit cool but next time you should do a story about Sam,Brigitte, in that type of situation but in a horror way though _"

Thank you, I'm glad you liked my skills and story plots. Believe me, that compliment means a lot. I'm sorry you didn't like my characters. The next draft starts with Brigitte and Ginger (and Jason), so that should be less confusing.

It would have been hard to get Sam into this vehicle. I did try. He comes up in flashbacks, as a hallucination, a toyed with making him another ghost, but I think the tragedy of losing him was important to Brigitte's character. Backtracking on Ginger to bring her back was already a stretch. To add any more of Sam would have done nothing for the plot, and the story was already at 200,000 words.

Despite the fact that I'm trying to turn pro, I am tempted to write more fanfiction, not just for Ginger Snaps, either. It won't be another novel . . .

This chapter changed dramatically in tone compared to the previous ones. It is still enjoyable to see more of the internal struggle between those two and the necessary character development.

The thing which confused me a bit was why explain the effects on the drug right at the beginning again as the end of the previous chapter made it quite clear that Brigitte lost control over herself after being injected. Also I noticed a few typos, something I haven't found before.

You're mind is different (Your)

Your getting close (you're)

I thought that the story will be oriented heavily on show-not-tell scheme. If you want it to remain in such tone, cutting descriptions a bit might be a good idea. Still very well written chapter. Seriously, if you would've written for the more popular fandom you might've gotten much more feedback. Take care.
Whitefang333 chapter 2 . 7/10/2013
I blame my lack of knowledge about the movie to my initial confusion at the beginning. Now we have ghosts as well? Well, we have werewolves so I accepted spirits as well.
It is honestly, one of the better written stories I've read on this site. I wish there would be a bit more descriptions so I could visualise the world better, but aside from that characters are great. Ginger for now is a supporting element with Brigitte as a main heroine. The flow might seem a bit jarring at first with very sudden flashbacks, but there are no problems connecting the past with presence.
It is a tragic world and most probably only tragic future awaits.

That is some good writing here. Even thought I am absolutely not familiar with the movie the story is taking place in I had absolutely no problems understanding what is going on and why. The emotions and character's traits were conveyed well as I did not see contradictions in their characters throughout the scene. For a moment there I was not sure who was going to win the struggle. Lewis seems to be extremely sure of himself, proved to do anything for the success of his investigation and how his arrogance almost got him killed as he underestimated the power of the smell. It will be fun to learn more about the world and the characters.
I can't find anything to whine about in this chapter.
The only thing which made me stop was how Lewis sudden sobbing over the dead woman. After his initial characterisation I expected him to be much colder towards rescues, but perhaps there is another reason for that. Great job.

This story is absolutely beautiful. The details, intricate storyline, and compelling characters, always kept me interested in what would happen next. If you ever decide to write another story or are writing one now, please inform me. I will probally be ecstatic.

Great conclusion.
D chapter 34 . 9/4/2012
Simply put, this is the best fanwork I have ever read. Is it better than the source material? No but I still thought this was a fantastic sequel. I have a few minor complaints but the positives GREATLY outweigh the negatives. I liked the fact that you still managed to make Ginger a major character and the emotion you put into Brigette when being asked how Ginger died by her spirit, FANTASTIC melodrama. June was also very well set up, If only a secondary character like this was in the sequel.

If this was a movie my rating would be 9.7/10.

My advice on the last chapter is to still make the corporation paying the doctor to keep Brigette at bay faceless. In my experience If you leave a viewer or reader with an unanswered mystery then they'd be more likely to remember it.

finally! this chapter was great, my only criticism is that it felt too short.

Hey man, take your time. You can't rush things like this. I've been following this since the first couple of chapters, and you have really come far. Keep it up.
