 | Excellent! Yes! Will read this again! |
 | Very Good.. a pleasure to read. Something special set this story above the rest. |
| A good all-round story. Solid, interesting, and well-written. |
| Good--better than the average. Maybe it has a unique idea or character, though something could have been better |
| Fair, ok... an average story |
| Eeeeh, Ah, Well, It just didn't interest me. But I've read worse. |
| eeh... mmm... don't read that again. It just didn't work. (Bad plot, shallow characters, or bad grammer) |
| Did not complete the story. |
Some things I look for in a fanfic.......
Type of story: I don't have time to read every single fan fic, so I tend to read only stories with plots that look interesting to me:
Strange, unusual things, character changes, new characters, and things not normally
found in a cartoon. Comedies are O.K. but some can end up being plotless. I don't care
for parodies.
Plot: Does the story have a well-defined plot, or is it just a sequence of
events? Does the plot work with Tiny Toon Adventures characters?
Depth: Does the story take the reader inside the characters and tell
the reader what the character is thinking? How does the character react to
different things? How vividly are scenes and new characters described?
Character correctness: Are the Tiny Toons behaving in character? Are their
actions what one would expect? If not, is the reason sufficient?
Spelling/Grammar/Syntax: Weakness in these areas takes away some
potency of a fanfic. I'll be the first one to admit I spell horribly myself,
but I do spell-check my works before releasing them.

|
| Bunny Bedlam | BEDLAM.TXT | |
|
| Voices | VOICES.TXT | | |
| A very short memorial to Don Messik done nicely | |||
| Patriots Day | PATRIOT.TXT | | |
| I don't have a problem with this type of story: a tribute to freedom, and a notice that you may need to be called upon to ensure that freedom. Slightly out of step for the toon world though. Why would only the Tiny Toons be attending this ceremony. This story does bring up the concept of the toon world and this one and asks the questions: Does this world affect the toon one? If so, why? And how can the toons do anything to help this world? I'll stop getting philosophical now :-) | |||
| When A Duck is a Loon, and Vice Versa | duckloon.TXT | | |
| Eek! The two forces clash! A good, light read, and a very intriguing story line. And why not? It *could* be true :-) We are given a look at how the two toon "companies" see each other. Grandted I might see this more if I read more cross-overs, but I donno if they go into depth on these matters. Well done story, Kevin. | |||
Matt Berman |
|||
| Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue | SOMEBLUE.TXT | | |
| Interesting plot extension to the trilogy. Death? | |||
| A Rabbit Out Of Time | RABITIME.TXT | | |
| Intreaguing. I like the little plot twist at the end. | |||
| "The Created" Stories: |
|||
| Bugsnapped | BUGNAPPE.TXT | | |
| I've not read anything quite like this. It's not exactly a cartoon mood, but the story and character concepts are excellent. This story would make an excellent half hour episode. | |||
| The Created (a.k.a. Bugsnapped II) | CREATED.TXT | | |
| This is very good stuff here... Disturbing things. It makes me want to read it through without stopping. | |||
| The Hours Between Night and Day (a.k.a. Bugsnapped III) | BUGNPED3.TXT (FINALB3.TXT) | | |
| Story and plot is getting real deep here. Exile? Very heavy stuff. This story brings everything together. Great! | |||
| Oh, L'Amore | OHLAMORE.TXT | | |
| Nice, short, well-written. Why not? | |||
| The Toony Limits: |
|||
| Bugsis | BUGSIS.TXT | | |
| Never did see the T.V. episode this was taken from. | |||
Jeremy Jurrens |
|||
| The Legend of the Deed to Acme Acres | DEED.TXT | | |
| A fair enough story | |||
| Transfer Student | TRANSFER.TXT | | |
| It's starting to get icky. This new Alex isn't acting like he was back in the previous story. | |||
| Le Wedding De Fifi | FIFIWEDD.TXT | | |
| It got icky. Where'd the plot go? Alex has completely fallen apart. | |||
Nathan East |
|||
| The Last Episode | LASTEPIS.TXT | | |
| Eary... not bad. | |||
Jason Bretz |
|||
| Final Days | FINALDAY.TXT | | |

Bryan Chaney |
|||
| A Reluctant Toon | RELUCTNT.TXT | | |
| I Liked it. Disturbing parallels. | |||
Kevin Mickel, Mike Cote, Rebecca, John Friedrich, Mike Demico |
|||
| Mondo Negatory Tiny Toons: The Other Side of Comedy | MONDO.TXT | | |
| Interesting, long, some parts well written w/ good emotion. Two problems: How does one access an alternate universe via saliva? And Buster deciding he was in an alt. universe was a bit of a stretch, some grammatical errors near end. | |||
David Godding |
|||
| Take This Story, Please! | TAKSTORY.TXT | | |
| Interesting... | |||
Zachary A. Zulkowski |
|||
| The Undiscovered Campus | CAMPUS.TXT | | |
| I guess I just don't like parrodies. | |||
| Held At Bay | HELD.TXT | | |
| Despite some errors in wording and a general lack of depth this might make a nice short subject if animated. Interesting notions of species stereotyping brought up. | |||
DarkmaN |
|||
| School's Out For Summer: part I | TTASP1.TXT | |
|
John Friedrich |
|||
| Buster's Guide to Unconsummated Romance | BGTUR.TXT | | |
| A good plot... detailed... | |||
Lee M. Withers |
|||
| Who's Minding The Mine? | | ||
| Lost interest after completing ch. 2. Moved slow, to much drama. | |||
Mike Beebe |
|||
| Buster's Dark Desires | DRKDSRS.TXT | | |
| A bit shallow... glaring grammatical errors, but interesting | |||
Jerell Drakes (FoxWizard) |
|||
| Old Friend, New Person | OLDFRIEND.TXT | | |
| Hmmmm... Another mysterious, flashing-powers character. | |||
| The Toon Test | TOONTEST.TXT | | |
| Ick. Bad bad grammar. Uninteresting... rambled in parts. | |||
Gypsy |
|||
| A Change of Heart | ACHANGEO.TXT | | |
| Good structure, written well. Solid plot. | |||
Jerry D. Withers (Furrball T. Cat) |
|||
| Parallels | | ||
| Lost interest after excessive obvious plot problems with alt. universes and abrupt interjections into the story. | |||
| Miranda | MIRANDA.TXT | | |
| Nice small story... Not too deep though. | |||
| Go Chase Your Tail... | CHASE.TXT | | |
| So when does the 6-minute short based on this come out? I think it's a difficult thing to write a story with no dialog (and an unusual thing to read one). It is a brief one, meant to be a short. But it would be a good short. | |||
| If Wishes Were Horses... | WISHES.TXT | | |
| Being new to several of the characters J. Withers used in this story did not hinder my enjoyment of it. The prologue was great and drew me into the story. Though... things seemed a bit "flat". It would have been interesting to take the reader on a more in-depth look into what Denys had been doing those 10 years, or when his family had done. The reunion, I thought, could have been more vibrant. | |||
Kevin Montabon A.K.A. NetNut |
|||
| Disruption | DISRUPTI.TXT | | |
| What the hell was that? Cheap parody of "A Rabbit Out Of Time" with annoying grammatical errors. Wayyy short! | |||
Brooze "Zuzu" Michelle |
|||
| Dial 'O' for Oddimals | ODDIMALS.TXT | | |
| Nice moderate-length story. Good flow and scene and character description... lots of new interesting chars. | |||
| Reunion | REUNION.TXT | | |
| A great story. I like all of the scenes where Buster meats the other Tiny Toons--most excellent. But Buster's big claim to fame is him dressing in drag? I don't see it. | |||
Derek S. |
|||
| Furrball: The Good Life | GOOLIFE.TXT | | |
| This isn't a story... it's a synopsis... a well-written synopsis, but not a story. | |||
Caesar Salad |
|||
| Don Juan De Coyote | DONCOYTE.TXT | | |
| Another nice short story, well-written, not deep | |||
Leloni Bunny |
|||
| Lola vs Babs | LVSB.TXT | | |
| Nice... I like. Just two problems: Buster sure freaks out easily, and Lola cries too easy. | |||
| Driving Miss Fifi (Crazy) | DriveFifiFinal.TXT | | |
| Not an action story, not necessarily a romance story, just a good story that delves into the lives of Fifi, Hamton, and the rest of the Tiny Toons, and gives us a more intimate understanding of their interactions and feelings for each other. A very nice piece. Clever writing and snappy little jokes throughout--even a cliffhanger! And, yet again the gang ends up fixing someone's relationship, as seems to be a common theme with fanfics. But, it was done beautifully, and I won't let that little let-down keep me from giving this story a high rating. This story got me laughing several times! | |||
Felicia Tabby |
|||
| Everuthing Changes | CHANGES.TXT | | |
| Interesting, if a bit difficult to read. New students rather undisciplined/cold compared to TT gang. | |||
| Shifting Circles | CIRCLES.TXT | |
|
Abel Dusable |
|||
| Life Goes On trilogy: |
|||
| Multififity | MULTIFI.TXT | | |
| Characters are out of character. It's like some lame role-playing adventure with a bunch of NPC's: "The other 4 toons tag along"... ugh.. heard it too many times. Also, enough with the "Blue Ears" name calling... ugh. | |||
| Kith | KITH.TXT | | |
| Now this was a good story, much humor. Good dialog and all that rot. Too bad it was all a joke. | |||
| Tiny Toons Short Stories | TTASHORT.TXT | | |
| "If you can't say something nice..." Oh well, this is a review, so: The essence of the first story consists solely of a joke email about science that I've seen too many times and didn't need to see elongated into a story. The second and third stories, though written well and true to TTA, go way to far to tell a simple joke. | |||
| Tiny Toon Adventures Spooky Stories | SPOOKY.TXT | | |
| This item would make an excellent TTA episode. The screenplay was great, and the Animaniacs humor was quite enjoyable. Funny little type-o on line 662. Great dialog all-round, much more enjoyable than "TTA Short Stories." | |||
| A Tiny Toons Christmas Carol | ATTACC.TXT | | |
| Again, Abel's use of multiple sub-plots makes for a refreshing and easy-going read. And, here again, as in "Mary" (also in this month's mailer), we have someone presenting his own POV of the toons' off-camera lives. This story, however, has the WB studio and toon contracts as the chains that toons are forced to wear (the "compromises"), and causing them to alter their very lives and persons--a rather harsh attitude I should think, but then again... [shrugs] this story is much more light-hearted. I like the Furrball scenes, and found the "voicebox" idea a very nice one. Alcohol-laden food??? :-) Interesting plot motivator, which was previously used in "Oh, L'Amore." Here, though, it was much more wide-spread. The end was... well... a bit cliche. | |||
| AVATAR | AVATAR.TXT | | |
| A fair, simple, and pleasing intro to God knows what kind of story :-) I got the Burroughs reference, but that simple, magical-type of plot device might gear this fanfic more towards a younger, more innocent audience. But since we aren't given much here in the way of plot, I can't really say much more on the matter--except: No, abel--don't think about fan fictions to will yourself to the toon world! Lord knows who's universe you'll end up in! LOL | |||
| AVATAR: Act II | AVATARactII.TXT | | |
| This continues to be a very charming, light, and enjoyable story. I like going along with Abel as he discovers the toon world--a new author's insight is always welcome (esp. when it coincides with mine). And, if I dare be so bold, the writing style seems not unlike my own from the first couple chapters of N: (No, I'm not trying to insult Abel--just drawing a similarity in mood). Two comments though: 1) I'm not sure if a US banker is an expert on detecting counterfit *foreign* currency, and 2) Wile E. is the dean of the Loo. Bugs is the principal. "with a wot of hair..." LOL! Good one. The T.A.S. montage was hillarious! Great cartoon material. Also I wonder if Abel will eventually look down and discover his G-rated-ness :-) | |||
| AVATAR: Act III | AVATAR3.TXT | | |
| The tale continues. This seems to be a rather quiet "settling in" act, so there isn't much to comment on in the way of plot--just a lot of heavy description. I enjoyed the author's play at toon villin humor (must have lab full of bubbling liquids!). Not sure how to take this whole black magic angle though. Where did all that come from? "Blending In 101" -- Hehehe... I donno but something about a class like that makes me LOL! There were some minor formatting issues and the writing style was a bit unique to follow. I hope the "second-stringer" thing doesn't turn into another "Mary". | |||
| Tiny Toon Adventures Spooky Stories II | SPOOKY2.TXT | | |
| Another excellent collection of creepies for the holiday! Though lame puns abound, I was laughing aloud a couple of times (Spampire?? LOL!) Great work. I love what happens to Tweety *grins*. Oh, and very interesting little tidbit on Sphinxy and types of toons. | |||
Kieron "Dark Helmet" Wells |
|||
| Chrono Toon | CHRONO.TXT | | |
| Read first two chapters--Gee, more time travel. This story has no depth. | |||
| Far Behind | FARBEHND.TXT | | |
| Well, I'm depressed. When I grew up kids were not nearly as involved with relationships at 14 as they are in this story. And I find it really odd that Hamton fixates on this subject so excessivly. I don't believe the characters were in character, but it is a thought-provoking story, nevertheless. | |||
| Far Behind - Alternate Ending | | ||
| I'm sorry, but after being hurt so many times and mulling around in self-depression, Hamton would not just perk up like that. Believe it or not I prefer the original ending. | |||
| Language of Love | LANGUAGE.TXT | | |
| A nice romance story with an interesting story line, nice mood setting, and some grammatical and spelling errors. | |||
| The Old Classroom | OLDCLASS.TXT | | |
| Long and drawn-out with some unnecessary dialog. The three were out of character. The whole Looniversity section didn't go right with me--way out of character, even Bugs. The ending was nice. | |||
| Rite of Passage - Part 1 | PASS1.TXT | | |
| Interesting... very interesting. First time I've seen so much thought and insight put into Shirley and her powers. She does seems a bit too paranoid for her character though. The writing may have been a bit loose and ragged at times, but not significantly. | |||
| Rite of Passage - Part 2 | PASS2.TXT | | |
| Nothing much to say about this part. It was somewhat confusing as to Marshall's purpose here. And sometimes Shirley's actions are contradictory to her thoughts. Lastly, there were some errors in wording. | |||
| Rite of Passage - Part 3 | RITE3.TXT | | |
| Can't think of anything that stood out in this to comment about. It was a bit laborious to read. Perhaps that is a sign that this story is lacking something to pull the reader in--or it's just me not finding it stimulating enough. | |||
| Rite of Passage - Part 4 | RITE4.TXT | | |
| The first half of this part was very slow and dull to read. The second half was slightly better. Some insight into the history of the Rite of Passage was somewhat interesting. | |||
Remee Carter Hall |
|||
| Out of the Closet and Into the Fire | CLOSET.TXT | | |
| Decent story. Interesting subject matter. But why doesn't Buster or Babs ever publicly defend Chad? When everyone else went into shock in the shower scene apparently Buster did also. | |||
Urian Dang |
|||
| The Dangers of Drunk Driving | DDRIVE.TXT | | |
| Not a story, a screenplay--a script. No life to it at all, It could have been a 30 second commercial. DUI is a serious issue I agree, but this story tries to throw the subject into a world where it just doesn't work. | |||
Erik McDarby |
|||
| Toon Navigator | TOONNAV.TXT | | |
| The dependence of toons on humans idea is nice. But the author tends to over describe things and slow the story down (i.e. the "I recognized him/her/them because..." repetitiveness). General lack of keeping the reader interested. The preamble is nice, but apparently the author didn't write it. | |||
| The Legend of Toon Park - Part I | TOONPARK.TXT | | |
| It's a description of a dream, not a story. If it were a story I would say it was short, shallow, and crude. But it isn't a story, it's a dream that could possibly have been made into a decent story. | |||
Denae Vaughan |
|||
| The Acme Acres Theme Park | AATHMPRK.TXT | | |
| Slow moving story except for last third. I like the climax and aftermath scenes. However, the whole story was a bit difficult to read. | |||
Colin Feder |
|||
| 'Til Death Do us Part | TILDEATH.TXT | | |
| Nice use of flashbacks and time flow, though I think Buster went a bit goofy. I think the ending was a bit strange, though (Babs not being dead and all). Why did the mayor commute the death sentence? And what was the deal with the whole Poketoon thing? | |||
Pepe K. |
|||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part I | ATTEPUH.TXT | | |
| The story moved pretty slow but did get more interesting as Dr. Lord appeared. Kinda in the dark as to what Batman and Robin are doing in this story. The Fifi and Hamton scenes were a bit too gooey for my taste. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part II | ATTEPUH2.TXT | | |
| I like this story. It has me wondering what will happen next. Here we have another all-powerful toon flaunting his powers, but it is done much better than it was with Alex Redolence in the "Deed" series. The Fifi and Hamton scenes are still gooey. I thought the last scene in Ch. 7 was done well. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part III | ATTEPUH3.TXT | | |
| Not too much happened plot-wise in this segment, but I didn't even notice until I thought about it. The line that gets me is Dr. Lord's: "My powers are not for display - I don't have to prove anything to anyone." Too late buddy, you've been flaunting them since the beginning. Not sure what to think about Dr. Lord's use of his psychic powers in history class... | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part IV | ATTEPUH4.TXT | | |
| Much dialog and little forward movement with the plot in this part, causing the occasional abrupt changes in characters' moods present in earlier sections to be more intrusive. Interesting to focus on all the other characters for a change rather than Dr. Lord who is barely in this section. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part V | ATTEPUH5.TXT | | |
| Aaah, wow! I think this was an excellent fusion of action and intriguing drama. Dr. Lord's general dis-connectedness with the world commands a powerful mood around him. I think Pepe K. did an excellent job of describing what was going on in the other racers' heads and events during the race. A+++ on accurately understanding Wile E. Coyote | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part VI | ATTEPUH6.TXT | | |
| Another fine piece of literary work. Most excellent scene description concerning the mansion. And I was happy to see the post-race scene at the starting line, Pepe K. didn't just move on with the plot as some writers might have, he cleaned up the loose ends. The Bugs and Porky scene really got to me; it was like I was right there. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part VII | ATTEPUH7.TXT | | |
| Dr. Lord's shroud of mystery and secretiveness persists still as this section of story was told. Such an extreme clash of moods was played out in this writing as well, from extreme joy, to extreme sorrow. The chapel scene was excellent. Pepe K. did a wonderful job on including a vast spectrum of animated characters at the party. Admittedly, though, I do not know anime. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part VIII | ATTEPUH8.TXT | | |
| After thirty-some chapters and nine months we finally learn of Dr. Lord and his relationship with Fifi. I think the telling of the facts was done well, as was the scene descriptions, though it is a stretch to think such a character as Dr. Lord can exist, being involved with Earth history as stated. Possibly too much to believe. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part IX | ATTEPUH9.TXT | | |
| Lots of things happening on this bright Saturday: Nice to see Buster and Plucky are still in the story. Arnold was depicted wonderfully. And this Laika Romanov sounds like an intriguing character. The Fokker scene was terrific. The music score thoroughly enhanced the experience. Lord's humor is lovely. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part X | ATTEPUH10.TXT | | |
| Wackyland was done most excellently, and Lord's arachnophobia reactions, although a solemn and serious issue, were extremely humorous. Widening the scope to the entire novel thus far, however, I find it is beginning to lose some of its "zing." There seems to be no driving plot issue to keep the readers interest since Lord revealed his secrets. And it's been over a year since the first part was released, causing me to become ever-so-slightly impatient to see things in the novel going a bit faster. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XI | ATTEPUH11.TXT | | |
| Oooo! The music here was superb--love how it works with the scene where Lord returns from the past. And I love how Lord's mind was somewhere else for a bit afterwards when he was with the others. Shows he is a complex character who has seen centuries. The Fifi and Shirley interaction is nice, but dragged on a bit. | |||
| Feefzilla - Queen of the Monsters! | FEEFZILA.TXT | | |
| Oh, this story was a complete RIOT! Funny cultural references, extremely funny gags (Hamton's intro, the multi-door, the run around the Loo with precisely fitted music... I could go on). This is an excellent example of how, even when the toons are trying to be serious and tell a story, they can be more funny than normal (see "Toons Take Over"). Great cameos (Hey, what am I doing in there?!?). Shirley was hysterically funny. And I like the ending chosen rather than a predictable, comedic one. Like I said, this thing is a RIOT! | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XII | ATTEPUH12.TXT | | |
| A bit risky to include religious overtones to a fanfic medium, but I think it worked very well and was appropriate for the story at this point. Lord's emotions are becoming more prominent and obviously interfering with some of his judgement and stability. I think the ene of ch. 52 was done very well: a quiet closing, a side thought, nice scene fade-out. I also think the way Pyewaket's dialog was included blended well and accurately depicted animal communications. As for Lord's lab, I could give a diddley about the electrical sparks and unsafe equipment. What a toon does in his own house is his business. My only concern is for the Tiny Toons' safety, which is why I'm grateful to Lord for letting me participate. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XIII | ATTEPUH13.TXT | | |
| A rather large item to read for a short chronological period of time. The humor was as always excellent, and the music coordination was wonderful, but the general unpleasant atmosphere the toons experienced during this segment combined with Lord's constantly having to remind everyone how historical and powerful he is knocked this part down a notch or two. The Fifi & Lord scene was very captivating, but I think came at an awkward time--sort of a "Why are they going into this now?" kind of thing. Query: so we are to assume all the toons know how to ride, then? Even toons who don't know what stirrups are? | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XIV | ATTEPUH14.TXT | | |
| Plucky wretching, Shirley saying: "Yonder! Thattaway!" and Buster and babs being... Buster and Babs: a good time had by all. I wish I could see the dance scene animated! The whole first half was great, esp. the "high speed maneuvering". I like Admiral Chamberlin and share his attitude towards Lord's whole endeavor (in case you couldn't tell), and I find it interesting how Lord is so concerned about the dangers of toons having access to reality, and yet here he is bringing toons into it. Nice cliffhanger at the very end. All-in-all, though, this was a VERY long and drawn out item to take on. IMO we didn't need to know every single thing that happened that day. I've never been a history buff myself, so that bit with the lesson was rather heavy for me. | |||
| Christmas Tails | TAILS.TXT | | |
| I liked this. Even though poor Furrball gets the "dead dog acting" award (as the author informed me), I found it appropriate and believable, but it is a bit odd and heartless of the other toons that he was completely forgotten by them... all except Elmyra. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XV | ATTEPUH15.TXT | | |
| This is a very moving and vivid piece of work. At first it was a bit slow as Hamton seems to enjoy bottling his rage up instead of doing anything about it, and his sudden explosion at Plucky, brought on by what he saw DL and Fifi doing really caught me off-guard. I *really* like the end where he snapped at DL--about time he started standing up and releasing his anger and not let it eat him away. As for the rest of the story, the scene with the toons back in time and the Merimac and shipyard was really enveloping--It was like being there--really did give a strong feeling of waste to scuttle their ship yard. Excellent music choice on that, BTW. The aftermath / ending was also done really well as they all reflect on what happened. I think Gogo should have piped up: "[That some of these men get *really* drunk!]" :-) Lots of funny dialogs and jokes in this one. I am a bit confused with some of the time travel stuff: exactly how much time *has* passed in Toonity while the toons were on Earth? Amd what the heck happened to the rest of their day's classes? Also: when they go to reality they need to use the lab and I need to monitor the equipment and all, but when they go to reality AND back in time, all they need to do is stand around outside while Lord plays with the equipment himself? [confused] | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XVI | ATTEPUH16.TXT | | |
| A masterfully written segment with a great deal of character work: Hamton's rage, which I find very refreshing, good humor between DL and Andy, and some new sides to DL which until now have been hidden, along with an appearance by The Berserker, who also is rather mysterious. We have more & more hints about DL's mysterious organization, suggesting it will come into play later in the story. The music adds great affect on the story. Fifi shouting "No fear" to me seems a bit unfounded as she really has yet to understand what she's saying, and it will be interesting when DL and Hamton eventually have to deal with each other via Fifi (Hamton knowing the truth, and DL having to accept Hamton). | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XVII | ATTEPUH17.TXT | | |
| Here we have a good, solid history lecture. The author is doing a wonderful job at trying to spark the reader's interest in naval history by enveloping the Tiny Toons (and the reader) inside the past. "Like 'Quack' and junk..." LOL!!! Riot. DL co-existing in his own past mind--very weird idea. Lord seems to relish immersing himself in his own past. Guess I would too if I were 3000, but still...he calls the LT's complacent. Seems he's exhibiting some of the same signs. The telephone call from Moufette was bloody excellent!!!! I have been waiting for many parts to find out if the rest of Fifi's family knew, and what they thought. IMO Moufette really voiced some things I wanted said. Very good writing of the author to include scenes like this, along with the happy ones. One linguring plot point seems to be overlooked: Haven't any of the residents of Acme Acres noticed the swath of destruction from the previous night? Hello--there was a big battle which seems to have been forgotten! :-) Maybe it's the "City of Townsville Syndrome". Lovely subtle way DL erased the TT's minds of it though. Nice. | |||
| A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven - Part XVIII | ATTEPUH18.TXT | | |
| A very exciting installment for the series. Fifi's anger at DL drags on despite her surroundings. The provided RL images of The Monitor were wonderful in giving added dimensions to the tale. The scene early on with Shirley was a complete riot! Very suspensful action throughout the story. It really drew me in! It was a bit difficult to tell where in the writing the human hosts' actions left off and tonns' began (i.e. "interfering"), and required a little further explanation from the author before it was clear, but didn't really impact the story. The scene in DL's head was very surrealistic--a nice touch. Rather sci-fi. Only negative comments are that perhaps the segues from the action on The Monitor
to Fifi's inner thoughts were a bit abrupt in the flow and oddly timed, and The Berserker seemed to be overcome a bit too easily at the end.

| Violation, Prologue and Chapter 1 | VIOLPROL.TXT | | |
| Semi-intriguing plot unfolding, but the few interjections and side notes were a slight distraction from the enjoyment. I expected more than one chapter to wet the reader's appetite. | |||
| Violation, Chapter 2 | VIOL2.TXT | | |
| The general wackiness the author is portraying in the cartoon world is emerging and is quite enjoyable. The story moves alone quickly without excessive wordiness. Is this intentional, to convey the mood of a cartoon, or just the author's writing style? If you don't read it carefully it is easy to miss something. Homicide's gun seems to have changed names from "Nanosecond" to "Kilowatt". | |||
| Violation, Chapter 3 | VIOL3.TXT | | |
| Some good humor here: Good to see a return of Camry Curvaceous. The dialog scenes are somewhat confusing as you are not sure who is saying what. | |||
| Violation, Chapter 4 | VIOL4.TXT | | |
| The first scene has little worth IMO. The author is bringing in characters and referencing a plethora of external topics unrelated to the TTA universe. Woe to the reader who is new to the TTA fan fiction world, for they will be utterly confused and bored with some of this. Excessive allusion is a bad thing. More author interjections. | |||
| Violation, Chapter 5 | VIOL5.TXT | | |
| Heavy things going on. We are getting a more facetted depiction of Homicide. | |||
| Violation, Chapter 6 | VIOL6.TXT | | |
| No, didn't care too much for this chapter. This thing is beginning to lose my interest. I admit I didn't care for the last scene, esp. since I like Camry. I don't know who the Stupid Brothers are, and I don't think they did anything for the story. The comedy in this chapter is weak and, in the author's own word, desperate. | |||
| Violation, Chapter 7 | VIOL7.TXT | | |
| I finally figured out what's been bugging me about this story, and it was most evident in this chapter: Mixing the extremely dark and ugly scenes with Homocide with the light-hearted and comedic scenes of the Stupid Brothers is just not a good thing. It wrecks any kind of mood or continuity--Evil to happy to death to craziness. It just doesn't work. Also, I don't see at all how Camry could possibly love Homicide at this point. How can you love someone who just raped you, just because you read a poem? I don't get it. | |||
| My Brain Runneth Over | MYBRAIN.TXT | | |
| Funny, if a bit weird and shallow: We start off in the middle of a story about Lola... no beginning, no setup, we are just "plopped" there, somewhere, with Grid and Yutabinum. Who/what are these characters? We are given barely any info. And Lola takes it all with a grain of salt? Strange... it would have helped if we were given a brief background on Lionel, for those of us who have no idea who he is. And what does this story have to do with "Violations"? Very little. | |||

| Buster's Beginning | BEGIN.TXT | | |
| Only read the first half. Poor semantics and sentence structure. Poor writing in general. Buster seems to be a non-anthropomorphic animal in this story. Story idea is nice, but told poorly. | |||

|||
| All That Glitters... | ALLTHAT.TXT | | |
| Here we have a classic lover's triangle romance story with just a hint of trash. I think the characters were done well. But the story did tend to drag on at times. | |||

| Buster & Babs: Relation? | RELATE2.TXT | | |
| It's been such a long time since I've read the trilogy it's hard to comment on how this story plot flows with it, but it is a great piece of work, esp. for a collaborative effort. But I have a problem with an "official" sequel including a totally new character who has a history only in a non-related piece of work. | |||
Clare | |||
| The Doctor Is In | THEDOCIN.TXT | | |
| This would make a fairly decent 6-minute short. Everything seems very plausible for a TTA story. Although the author seems concerned that the story may duplicate too closely existing episode plots I think it had its own unique twists and dialog to make it worth reading. | |||
Luke | |||
| The Soup Kitchen | SOUP.TXT | | |
| Quite short, but not a bad read. An introduction to the new character would have been nice, along with a tad more depth to the scene and action descriptions. All-in-all, another nice 6-minute script--not quite a story. | |||
| Stumbling Down Memory Lane | STUMBLE.TXT | | |
| Is this a sequel to something? Simply story that would do better as a chapter in a larger work. This piece has some good elements and is easy to follow. However, I can't help but see it as a sideways attempt by a TTA fan to insert himself into the TTA world and try to convince the reader (and himself as well) that he is a part of it. | |||
| My Girlfriend's Back | GIRLBACK.TXT | | |
| Curious little story. Very interesting circumstances. Not a bad read. | |||
Foxy Fellow (aka Dave Ellery) | |||
| A Certain Lonely Toon Part I | LONELY1.TXT | | |
| I enjoyed this story a lot. It didn't drag and the humor was quite good (esp. when it concerned Plucky). Bugs going after Sam in drag was hilarious. But I think Plucky was being unnaturally greedy--he would never stoop to outright theft to get a buck--cons definitely, but not theft. | |||
| A Certain Lonely Toon Part II | LONELY2.TXT | | |
| Someone get this guy an animation crew--this thing needs to be made into a TTA episode! This is funny stuff! The only thing I didn't care for was Bugs' line of: "...someone's got it in for us big time." Why the assumption of foul play, or that there's a conscious mind behind this at all? Maybe it's a cosmic thing... maybe it's bad karma. Maybe Calamity invented something that is having an unexpected effect. Who knows? That's all I have to say about that. | |||
| A Certain Lonely Toon Part III | LONELYE.TXT | | |
| The plot continues to unfold (slowly). The interaction between Carter, Sandy, Falloner, and Rusty is nice if a bit tip-toed around. The comedy is as funny as always, but there's a little too much of it in this release, and it's starting to confuse and detract from the main plot. And, sometimes the story jumps quickly and suddenly, making it a bit easy to lose track of who is doing or thinking what. | |||
Kelly (BUGSWB12@AOL.com) | |||
| An Untitled Story | UNTITLE.TXT | | |
| A fair little story. A few plot holes and some "How did that happen?"'s were evident. Major point of issue: Why didn't anyone morn Babs' death? I can't believe the toons were all still having a good time at the dance after Monty told them about Babs. The little thing with 'The Raven" was good, perhaps the most (or only) emotional scene in the story. | |||
Sean Campbell | |||
| Dancers at the Edge of Eternity | DANCERS.TXT | | |
| Very cool, very deep, and written with a sophisticated language style unseen by any previous fan fictions. It makes it a bit heavy to read, but is a very welcome turn. This has all the ingredients for an excellent story: character, plot, drive, and climaxes. We see right away who the author's favorite is, and they do get awful touchy-feely early on. I do think everyone was prone to crying either too excessively or form too many things. Also, the toons seem to have distinctly lost anything that made them toony--they could have been real people. Something in them was lost. The final concept imparted is an excellent one and very true. | |||
| LaFUME | LAFUME.TXT | | |
| Another example of excellent writing--descriptive and well put together. I kept thinking of "Forbidden Planet" and a certain episode of Star Trek while reading about Richard and Fifi. I thought the initial mystery of what Clive saw on the tapes and relating it to Fifi was a bit over-played. And, the whole story had heavy undertones of a drooling fanboy addiction to Fifi. I'm sure masses of fanboys are out there right now meditating as we speak. I tend to wonder if the author is one of them, or if he has just been reading TTA mailing list messages for too long. The underlying message is clear and an excellent one to learn from. | |||
| The Looney Rebirth | LOONEYR.TXT | | |
| A very provocative and insightful little tidbit of writing. The author does indeed understand the worth of laughter and joy that toons rely on. Perhaps the events in the story will play themselves out one day in a distant future. Perhaps not. Either way, nice work. | |||
| Utopia Lost | UTOPIA.TXT | | |
| This thing is right out of a Twilight Zone episode. Very moving and disturbing. An excellent tragedy. Nice that the author has chosen to expand his character's TTA obsessions beyond just Fifi this time. This is a super work. Oh, but having indented paragraphs would have been nice also. IMO, it was the brandy. | |||
| Hiding Place | HIDING.TXT | | |
| A touching story, but seemed a bit out of place for kids so young to need to escape, and it didn't seem right to have Shirley intrude into the human world and take one of its residents. That's a big move. I think this might have worked better for me if instead of a 12 year-old, it had been an old, aged man, looking for a lost youth or something. [shrugs] just an idea. This story would also fit well into The Twilight Zone theme. | |||
| Ghost of Christmas Reruns | RERUNS.TXT | | |
| A fair story of a group of people rambling on about kids shows. At first the atmosphere of the story was kind of warm and cozy, but it slowly faded as the story never really went anywhere, and I can't believe such fans of the show would not recognize Buster's own voice. I was half-expecting the stranger to be Harvey the Rabbit--donno why. Maybe because he fits into reality better than Buster. I don't really think Buster would come to reality as he did for the purpose he did. Somehow it just seemed "wrong" for a toon. | |||
| A World Not Meant To Be - Part I | WRLDNOT1.TXT | | |
| A wonderfully compelling plot of toon revolution unfolds while the main character maintains a bland, dead-pan attitude despite the world around him. I enjoyed the charged atmosphere at Shirley's assembly--really drew me in! The author creates a new and (mostly) believable world where humans and toons exist side-by-side. I say "mostly" because I do see some issues: Why dit it takes 700 years for toons to decide they were getting the short end of the stick? And if they'd been around so long I think they would have melded far more intricatly into the human society so that they wouldn't still be thought of as "an idiotic and ridiculous species". And, if they never died and kept breeding.... | |||
| A World Not Meant To Be - Part II | WNTB2.TXT | | |
| This is actually a bit better than the first part! It's very neat to read how the toons we fans take for granted can be perceived by someone who isn't a fan (i.e. not knowing who Scratchnsniff or Digeri Dingo are). The author ended up explaining several plot questions at the end of this part (why so many skunks in France, etc), and speaking of France, seems our author figured out a none-too-subtle way to have John end up in his favorite skunk's country :-) The dream sequence was creepy and very intriguing, and the TTA characters were all super. The author can get wordy at times though. Interesting how the new half & half jury laws seemed to fail in John's case. | |||
Kelly Barina (BRokbunny15@AOL.com) | |||
| Search for the Past on the Road to the Future | SEARCH.TXT | | |
| A rather confusing story to read--quick and showing a few signs of being thrown together. It could have been slowed down and some more items added. Just because a story is in 1st person doesn't mean you can't write about the world outside of the character and go into more depth on the other characters. As this was done is is more of an account than a story. | |||
Lady Iapetus | |||
| A Year In the Life - Part I | YLIFE1.TXT | | |
| I like how this story is turning out--looks like it will be good. New character introduction was done well, and there is interest in what's going to happen next. Calamity gets a girlfriend, and Foxy makes an appearance. What's wrong with a half-naked janitor I ask: Pete is, and Dot has no shirt. I don't think Sassy will let Shirley try anything else of hers on after this :-) | |||
Yvette M. Griffith | |||
| Bunny Trouble | HONEY.TXT | | |
| A bit long for the plot, and the format and wording are a bit crude. A bold move making Honey the evil character in the story. I never noticed before what a bunch of meddling kids Buster and the gang appear to be, but here they seem to go a bit overboard: "Let's see what's going on--even though it's none of our business." Interesting that Stevey didn't use Bugs as an example of toons who don't wear pants. Maybe I have a dirty mind, but line 833 made me laugh for a good minute. Line 1279, "Mrs. Bunny"??? When did this happen? Oh, one last thing--Honey is not a lop-ear. | |||
Ghostwolf and Rottin Kid | |||
| Wolf Toon: And so it Begins | WOLFTOON.TXT | | |
| This one is a bit too long for me to attack right now, but from skimming the first several pages it looks to be a duplicate of "A Reluctant Toon" by Bryan Chaney, with almost identical actions... no disrespect to the authors. | |||
N.Liberto | |||
| No love future for Frank | NOLOVE.TXT | | |
| Mmmmm... Eeeh... [scratches head] Ahhh... okay... I'll keep it short: Some nice humor was interjected here, but it's not very original, and not very developed. | |||
Leonel Gonzalez | |||
| FORGOTTEN DREAMS | FORGOT.TXT | | |
| Sort of a "Wham, Bamm, what the heck just happened?" story. Very quick moving story. Who are all of these mysterious characters? Looks like we have to wait and find out. Some introductory material would have been nice, along with a bit more depth and explanation as to what was going on. The story doesn't seem to quite fit into the cartoon universe. | |||
Da Bunnyman | |||
| Babs 1/2 | BABSHALF.TXT | | |
| Bizarre little tale with some good humor and a lot of physical inuendo. A bit confusing at the beginning, and not too well formatted. | |||
Aaron "Lighting" Roberts | |||
| From Bunny To Dawn | BUNYDAWN.TXT | | |
| Eh... Em.... Er... Ah.... Well, the idea was kinda interesting. No actual type-o,s but lots of homonym word errors. | |||
| A Spy Hard Parody | SPYHARD.TXT | | |
| Short but interesting. A bit of Anime thrown in there for strangeness. However, these two items by this author I see as rough screenplay ideas, and not stories. They are quick, very rough, and lack depth. | |||
Greg Williams | |||
| Semper Toon | SEMPER.TXT | | |
| Another "Human turns into toon (lifelong dream) with the Tiny Toons being heroes and flying to his rescue (in the middle of a school day no less)" story. Although there is nothing wrong with this story, the cookie-cutter plot style in it is wearing on me a tad. The bit about Riley making peace with his father was a good touch that some authors might have skirted. And, the author does use some interesting word choices. Heh... never saw the phrase "spread-eagled" in a fan fic before! | |||
Danny "D-Boy" Wheeler and The J.A.M. | |||
| Seekers of the Phoenix! | SEEKERS.TXT | | |
| Being new to Wheeler's writings, this is my first experience with "D-Boy Whitewolf", but he is clearly portrayed as the hero of this unusual epic: a unique combination of tooniness and sci-fi/monster battles. I'm still trying to decide if it worked or not. At times, the story seemed like a video games--each character having some ability or super-power to battle with (D-Boy, get a matter displacement drive--no sonic booms!). I like how the individual animal traits of the oddimals' were portrayed in ch. 5. I don't quite get what the Test of Honor was all about. Some unusual word choices ("skunkmaid", "doe", everybody "padding" around), and what's this "Schplink" all about? What's the point of all the Japanese when it was all subtitled anyway? Finally, this is not a story the atheists :-) | |||
The J.A.M. | |||
| Mary | MARY.TXT | | |
| Wow--and I thought "N:" was long. This story definitely has a hostile attitude towards the main TTA cast, and seems to portray that there is no life to the toons outside of TTA. I think Mary should wake up and realize her own potential, and stop moping and worrying about everyone else's fame. She complains about the lack of human toons, but what about Calamity being the only coyote, or Fifi being the only skunk? All these points aside, however, I found this story very attractive in that we have a new POV on the toons--a daring and welcome (and probably not altogether accepted) effort on the part of the author, which accounts for the rather high rating I'm giving it. Very bold move, J.A.M. I applaud your gumption. The story does, however, have an excessive amount of detail, sometimes to the point of redundancy. The whole "ears and tails" body language is a unique item, and at first it was freah and welcome, but just became excessive as the story went on. "Humanmaid" is just too weird a word for me, and what's wrong with "feline" rather then this "felid" thing. I don't think the whole carnivore issue fit into the TTA world, but it was an interesting effect on the author's part to try and bring out the animalistic tendencies in the toons, though they seemed excessively focused on his own character. This story has the TT's full of genuine hatred, questionable species-ism and racism threats that many readers will no doubt find offensive and just plain *wrong* for the TTA setting. Definitely an unusual item to read, but as I said, it is also a daring and unique piece of work. Um, J.A.M.? Don't ever do this again. BTW: There are some formatting problems, though (words joined together, Spanish characters not translated properly) which did make reading go a bit slower. And, Elmyra skinned a cheetah, not a leopard. | |||
| Thr Fourteen | FOURTEEN.TXT | | |
| I want to start off by reminding everyone that my review and comments are directed soley towards the story and its characters, and not at the author who I think is a fine fellow and really fun to chat with. That said... an underlying hostility towards the stars of TTA (and even the Looney Tunes--how can you not notice people in a room!??!) lingers in this sequel. We are continually reminded by the text which toons are "bit players" and which are "stars" at least once per page and it's wearing thin for me. Heh... if The J.A.M. knew what was good for his he shouldn't have dodged Mary's slap. It would have helped her calm down much quicker by giving her some needed satisfaction. The sci-fi elements were welcome, and reminded me of Back To The Future a great deal. The writing and style match the previous story: generally simple and solid with brief hints of flair, lots of angry conflict, and sometimes confusing or redundant and drawn-out. The make-up apology song scene, intended to be romantic, just seemed weird. I'm going to go out on a limb here before I shut up: The J.A.M.'s behavior (the character, remember, not the author) just really rubs me the wrong way, and hasn't changed since "Mary". Every time he is at fault for something, he either claims ignorance, or insists it was a feline instinct reaction that everyone is just suppose to accept, in which case he isn't at fault either: no matter if he cuts off a toon's air supply, defaces property, chokes an innocent sable, or doesn't know what a prom is and isn't perceptive enough to understand Mary's feelings. In my opinion he is thoughtless, careless, impulsive, rude, full of self-pity, and has a lot of anger mixed with a dangerously explosive temper. I wouldn't put it past him to use those claws and fangs of his that are constantly being extended or displayed, to claw and maul a toon's face off and afterwards claim it was just a natural feline reaction and feel completely innocent. Just because he is a predator doesn't give him the right to be a jerk. | |||
| Human Hyjinx | HYJINX.TXT | | |
| "It's all been done before." That said, this version of the plot did have a couple funny spots (DOWN WITH FURRY TOONS), an inovative idea of using moden technology, and a wonderful surprise ending. However, I think this story suffered from the same fault that "Rabbit Rampage" did in that Mary does not make a convincing victim, and generally was not funny. This type of plot is more suited to wacky, unstable characters who completely destroy themselves in fits of rage to try and control their environment, i.e. "Duck Amuck". The story includes an odd mix of re-hashed and copied gags from the mentioned shorts, mixed with some new imaginative ones. A well-written story, but this is a visual gag plot, and doesn't come off the same as text. | |||
Tim Walters | |||
| Dates | DATES.TXT | | |
| Hey--this thing isn't bad! A rather enjoyable writing style, and a new P.O.V. from a "new" character. It's like reading a personal journal entry or something--it is quite believable. | |||
| Dates 2 | DATES2.TXT | | |
| A serious and somber scene, with lots of motherly insight and feeling. Very interesting. | |||
Gus Quartarolo | |||
| Origins | ORIGINS.TXT | | |
| A bit of a dark, upset tone to this new piece of work. A bit rough, but enjoyable none-the-less. Bravo to the author for working on it and releasing it to the list. | |||
