"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan. My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come, when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of Fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, stand, men of the West!" - Aragorn son of Arathorn
The speech that gave me goosebumps all over my body before the spine-chilling fight at the 'Black Gate'.
My fan fiction is based on Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King. This movie is the last part of the trilogy; the final battle of middle earth to save the eradication of the human race. Sam and Frodo continuing their epic journey to dreadful Mount Doom led by Gollum; with one mission in mind, to destroy 'The Ring'... Or so they thought.
The journey was intense and burdensome, betrayal of friendship and doubts surrounded all because of 'the precious'. The menacing power of the ring has blinded Frodo's mind darkened his perception not knowing what's wrong or right. Making Frodo look down on Sam and saying sternly but quietly 'Go home Sam' at the stairs of Cirith Ungol.
As Frodo continues his journey without Sam and being led by Gollum inside the cave of Shelob's Lair as Frodo lost tracked of Gollum, he finds himself bewildered as Gollum had disappeared and tricked him. As Frodo tries to find a way out he encounters with 'Shelob the Giant Spider' he got himself trapped and stung by Shelob.
In my opinion this part of the movie was an unforgettable scene that had the biggest reaction from the movie goers.
That is when our heroic savior Sam wise Gamgee comes running holding Frodo's sting sword and the Phial of Galadriel's light.
"Let him go you filth" as Sam threatens the Shelob; Sam then battles the spider he first cleaved off the claw from one of Shelob's legs and pierce out one of the eye, leaving Shelob to run back to its lair.
As Sam thinking Frodo is dead, he unwillingly took the Ring from his bestfriend and left his body. Until he hears two Orcs conversating that Shelob injects a small dosive of poison from her victims to keep the meat fresh. Sam bravely tries to save Frodo having that 'you aren't hurting Mr. Frodo' look as he gives a deadly gaze at the Orcs.
"That's for Frodo" as Sam chops an Orc, "That's for the Shire" as Sam continuously swings his sword at another Orc. Sam successfully rescues Frodo from the Orcs castle and continues their path on destroying the Ring.
In my opinion Sam Gamgee is more of a hero for me than Frodo as he never gave up on his friend no matter how bad the situation was. He was what you call a true hero and a friend.
"We did it Mr. Frodo, we made it to Mordor". Sam and Frodo advances to the deep end of Mordor to end their mission and hopefully destroy the Ring.
Meanwhile Aragorn leading the courageous Army of the West heads towards the Black Gate to try divert Sauron attention from Frodo and Sam who are trying to destroy the One Ring into Mordor.
Before the fight initiated, Sauron sent one of his unearthly servant the "Black Numenorean" to speak for Sauron. The Mouth of Sauron throws an Elven Cloak which belonged to Frodo and Sam to deceive Gandalf that he has held captive of the Hobbits. The Numenorean threatened to torture the hobbits if the Men of The West do not comply to Sauron and surrender.
However Aragorn would not be swayed as he menacingly slices the Numenorean's head off saying "I do not believe it, I do not". Thus, the epic battle began.
Meanwhile during the course of the battle, Frodo and Sam finally reached inside the belly of the beast of Mordor.
"Destroy it!" shouted Sam with a disconsolate look on his face.
But the power of the ring would not let Frodo destroy it. As Frodo turns vigorously to Sam "The Ring is mine" as he reluctantly puts on the ring and disappears.
Out of nowhere Gollum arrives in the scene and struggled fighting with the invisible Frodo. Finally, after moments of endeavor Gollum bites off Frodo's finger and able to gain the ring. As Gollum exclaimed in triumph, Frodo fiercely battles him for the ring but Gollum stepped over the edge and fell into the lava as he takes the ring down with him. Thus, the ring was finally destroyed and Sauron the great was defeated!
This scene was on the most nail-biting performance between Frodo and Sam, as it just captures one of the greatest moments of the movie and gives me shivers down my spine.
Summary: Set in the shire, a made up fan fiction, two riders in search for Bilbo Baggins wanting to discuss a secret proposition.
Critical Evaluation: This fan fiction is very interesting as its a combination of a made up story combine with the first episode of the Lord of The Rings: Return of The King. It show that two new characters name Addreilinis and Denethor wanted to talk to Bilbo about the Golden Ring he possessed. In the end of his story he continues with Bilbo putting on the ring and disappear in front of his guests. The author has made a mix of different types of emotion in this story to capture the readers attention as he also tells us that evil looking characters are not what they seem to be. Moral of the story is "Never judge a book by its cover".

Summary: Its a combination of Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter as Harry annihilates Frodo Baggins and his accomplices and stole The Ring. He hides from the evil Sauron and his deadly minions.
Critical Evaluation: This is actually a pretty good fanfic although it is short, the story definitely captivates you and wants you to continue reading. It's about Harry Potter eradicate Frodo Baggins and his accomplice to steal the mighty Ring, and by doing so the great and powerful Sauron is plotting and assassination on the Hogwarts School. It gets very intense as Sauron comes as himself and try to defeat the powerful wizards of Hogwarts.

Summary: A friends tv show fan fiction telling the readers about Monica and Chandler Bing getting married and Phoebe finding out that Monica is pregnant. Or is she?
Critical Evaluation: This fan fiction actually made me laugh especially when Chandler's witty sarcasm jokes has been mentioned by the author. Phoebe finds a pregnancy test thrown in the trash in Monica's trash can despite that it did not belong to her. She then tells everybody that Monica is pregnant. Remembering the video of the episode Monica and Chandler has this bewildered look on their face that makes you laugh out loud, so imagining it in the fan fiction just made me burst out laughing. The catch of this fan fic is the author added a different ending of the story where there was a crash crash after wedding but it does not tell us who was in the crash. I hope to see the continuation of this story as its very entertaining and just captivates you on reading more.

Summary: A story of the bedevilled elf Legolas going berserk and annihilating everyone he encounters.
Critical Evaluation: Incredibly made up story of Legolas who has gone insane executing different characters from the book who weren't shown in the movies. This writer is a big fan of The Lord of The Rings as he mentions characters that was before Frodo Baggins setting out on a mission to destroy The Ring. The story is also really witty and funny which makes the reader giggle for a few seconds and it also makes you think what if Legolas joined forces with Sauron and killing his own comrades.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8218143/1/Fresh-Prince-Book-I-Chapter-1
Summary: A clever and entertaining fan fiction of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's main character Will Smith. He somehow lost his memories and thinks his in someone else's story and is a bit oblivious around him.
Critical Evaluation: A strong anecdote written with sophisticated words that gets you fascinated on how interesting this fan fiction has been structured. This story is about Will starting fresh and forget the troubles he had caused back home with his mother and start a new with his Uncle and the family. Its really interesting read as he makes the reader think about life and that sometimes the world does not revolve around you. I would have wanted to see more of the story and find out if he had made amends with his new family.
