Now Eyrie Productions (http:\/\/www.eyrie.net) has a mixed track record regarding their Fan Fiction. \u00c2\u00a0Often, it’s good, but they do so often cross the line into Mary Sue-isms with their characters.<\/p>\n
That isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s not great. \u00c2\u00a0After all, Ensign Newbie shouldn’t be able to take over from Captain Kirk, at least not within the first chapter.. But\u00c2\u00a0sometimes that’s just what you want to read….<\/p>\n
They just put out a Top Gear fan fiction… \u00c2\u00a0Yes, the BBC Car show, now has a fan fiction based on it…<\/p>\n
And you know what, it’s pretty darn good… \u00c2\u00a0Sure it’s in script form, but that works, after all they are writing about a TV show, and it just works..<\/p>\n

The Lamborghini was fast, agile, with superior roadholding qualities; the bigger, heavier KMW was actually a little bit\u00c2\u00a0faster<\/em>, and its build quality gave it a very reassuring sense of indestructibility.
