Fanfiction in week 8 (Transformer)
Million years ago, there was a planet called Cybertron in the universe. However, we nearly do not know anything about the life forms in this strange planet. In Cyberton, the life existed in the form of sentient robots which could think and feel, called Transformers. The race of Transformers contains two clans: Autobots and Decepticons. Autobots are led by Optimus Prime and they wished for peaceful co-existence. Conversely, under the command of Megatron, all of the decepticons sought conflict and universal conquest. Their main aim is to rule the whole universe completely. Allspark is a kind of cube which could provide the great power and energy for all of the transformers to survival. Therefore, Autobots and decepticons battled for rule of a supreme power—The Allspark, which bears the life force of transformers. After that the whole Cybertron was destroyed by the war between those who worship power and those Autobots who follow the peace. Afterwards, the abundant resource of allspark would be on the verge of extinct. All of the transformers have started to search for it endlessly. Finally, they decide to go the earth, because of the resource of allspark is definitely there.
Sam is a seventeen years old boy who is studying in a high school. His father promises that he would get his first car if he can get A grade in his oral presentation. One day, Sam is talking about the story of his great grandfather in the front of the classroom. His voice sounds like quite confident, but his facial expression looks like a little bit nervous. He takes a glass very quickly out of his schoolbag and people could hear the quaver in his voice:
“In National Arctic Expedition, 1897s, my great grandfather whose name is Captain Archibald Witwicky, arrived in the Arctic Ocean with his sailors.” In fact, Sam’s presentation doesn’t attract anybody to listen to it carefully. Everyone feels bored, such as Trent would fall asleep, Chris is watching out of window. But only Mikaela, who is the most beautiful girl in the class, seems to listen to his speech all the time. Sam is holding the glasses up and said “This is my great grandfather’s glasses. I definitely can say that his adventure was out of the ordinary.” “And they did found a strange and big ……” Suddenly the belling is ringing; Actually Sam doesn’t finish his oral presentation. However, everybody disappears in a short while.
Sam is walking along the road quite slowly. He probably doesn’t know where to go. “Dad won’t buy a car for me because I only get a B-. I look forward to have a car for quite a long time. Why I always have this bad luck?” Sam talks to himself when he is walking. Sam looks like very upset. In fact, his family is not very rich. Sam can not buy whatever he likes. Actually he has already put his advertisement for selling his great grandfather’s glasses in the internet long times before. “Oh, still no bids. No one wants my great grandfather’s old stuff. Even if he was one of the first guys ever to reach the Arctic Circle. “As Sam walks along the road, he keeps thinking about these unhappy things. The sky becomes dark. Suddenly, Sam feels that there are something still following him. There is a police car are following him when Sam look backward over his shoulder. And this police car suddenly transforms itself into a very huge robot. Sam has never seen this scene before. “My god, People are not gonna believe this police car can transform into a robot. Sam feels so scared and starts to run as fast as he can. And this huge robot comes in the neck of Sam. “Bad dream! Please let me wake up.” Sam shouted at himself while running. Sam tripped and went down with a bump. And this robot speaks to Sam in a deep masculine voice:” I am Barricade. Are you username hotstud 217”? Where is online auction item number 21153? “I- I have no ….idea what you are talking about!” Sam picks himself up and run on. “Where are your Ancestral Artifacts?” Barricade shouts at Sam and following in his wake. Sam keeps running extremely fast and feels thoroughly tired. But he probably heard about two cars crashed together. A yellow Camaro sudden stop beside Sam. “Get in the car quickly!” Sam heard a voice but he doesn’t recognize where it comes from. Nobody else in the car except Sam. Sam found Barricade falls over on the road when he looks backward. “? Can I ask who are you? Sam speaks to the car. “I am the Guardian of Sam Witwicky. My name is Bumblebee. Do you want to make a friend with me?” Sam relaxes himself and say “Oh, yeah. I really need a car.”
“The weather is great for this party. Nice car. Sam! I like it. Even if it’s yellow”. Trent smiles and speaks to Sam. “Yeah, right! Beautiful, but I think it is perfect” Sam’s eyes is constantly looking at Mikaela and his voice sounds like very greed. “Perfect? I don’t think so. Sam! Come and have a drink. Tell me when did you buy this car? “Trent said. Sam and his classmate have a party near the lake, outside tranquility. And Bumblebee and Sam has become close friends. Sam could drive this yellow Camaro everyday. Party has been finished. “Hey! Mikaela? It’s Sam Wtiwicky. I was wondering if you wanted…. A ride, you know? Sam’s voice sounds so nervous. “Well, yeah….. I guess, so, are you like new this year? Mikaela asked. “No. we’ve been at the same school since first grade. The car sudden stopped. “No, no, not now!” Sam speaks to Bumblebee. “Don’t sweat it. Sam! Right? Could just be the distributor cap. Yep, that did the trick. My dad was a serious grease monkey” Mikaela said. “You know the whole distributor thing?” Sam asked. “Yeah. Anyway, thanks for the ride, I think I have to leave now!” Mikaela takes her bag out of the car and leave.
“What’ wrong with you? My friend?” Sam kicks the car while driving. “We have to go to see someone now. I am sure that you will see a great leader whom you never meet before!” Bumblebee’s voice sound confidently. “How great is it? “Sam asked. The sky became dark and dark, Sam and his car gradually disappear in the curtain of night

Hi guys! I haven't finish writing the whole draft my fanfiction in week 8. And I know that all of you guys may would like to watch the movie"Transformer". I didn't retell the story in Optimus Prime's viewpoint. Because I changed my mind. I did add some ideas to my fanfiction. And I decided to write a short story of Transformer. Could you please give me some suggestions and comments after you read my word? Thanks a lot!

LingHuiE, I'm so sorry for my comment on your fan fiction.
To be honest, I'm afraid of reading this kind of genre, as you know i'm a technophobe, so something cyber.. autobot..transform.. make me feel fearful.
However, I feel that your plot a structural strategy quite strong (you! are! really! man!)
I hope that such masculinity will create tough and ambitious image which make reder determined to be strong.
super delicious photo of Megan Fox you got there. ;)
I think that your fanfiction is pretty similar to the original version of Transformers? Or you are doing a different ending for the movie?
Also, haha, in terms of 'constructive feedback', I think that maybe you can try to elaborate and add in some details because I felt that the story is a bit rushed when I am reading it.
But, of course, awesome stuffs. ^^
So you are writing the ACT I. Sam is at highschool. Is his dream about police car transforming itself into a very huge robot the call to adventure? Sam was reluctant at first by saying "Bad dream! Please let me wake up.” Bumblebee is the mentor. you have done ORDINARY WORLD, CALL TO ADVENTURE, RELUCTANT at first and a MENTOR so far.
Are you turning the film into short story? Yes, you are. "Keep working on the three ACTs and plots, then think about the wording and improve the languge" this is the way I guess.
Sorry for being late. I completely left everything about the uni behind to enjoy my break haha.
I've read your fanfiction. My comment is that you've put some details from the movie in your story (which is good because, though I too watched the movie, I already forgot most of it).
But I also agree with Pear Jin that your story moves too fast. I think you want to put them all in 1200 words so you skip some part. Maybe you can, like Pear Jin suggested, add some more details. I'd say it is better if you explain more of the events when you change from one scene to another.
For example, I was a bit confused when Bumblebee came to Sam's rescue and suddenly the story jumped to the conversation with Sam and Trent.
