 - do not need too many characters
Setting
 - when and where
Scene (more local)
 - do not need too many scenes
 - plot
Type of FF
- crossover, alternate universe

Other fan fiction written by other people:

Fire and Flames
A rather interesting piece of writing.
The story of how David broke up with his current girlfriend, Millie to have a confusing moment with Griffin.
written in the first person view of Griffin and an intriguing twist for the readers. Great descriptions of feeling the characters were feeling and the actions that followed, although just not my type of story.

Great feature of this story was that this was the first of many "moods" the author intends to write about, meaning there are more to come which makes it very exciting. secondly was the first person view which made me feel like I was more part of the story and the conclusion left the readers to wonder what is going to happen next.

Maddy
Story about the jumper Maddy is fighting back against the jumpers. Maddy is Griffins sibling who is also been tracking David for weeks and helped David fend off paladins who tried to kill him in Rome.

Great idea of bringing in another character and making a solid story for that character. The idea of someone who is new in the story really makes more impact on the readers who have already seen the movie. It makes its more fresh for the readers.

Someone to save you
The first of many chapters of the fan-fic based on the book/movie, Jumper.
The story is about a girl name Parker and the usual letter that was sent for her father who was a compulsive scientist. He was often at work and rarely had time with his family.

To me, the story was a bit slow and nothing really happened. The story is merely a introduction and will probably get better as people read on, at this point, the author is very good at her descriptions and portrays the characters in a very real way. 

Jump in
This piece of writing is about how Jack Rider came to be at his job of killing people for the United States. His life story of how he jumped when he was little and what made him decide how he will use his power and, ultimately how he got his job.


The writer started the story off with a flash back of the antagonist’s past which really caught my attention. Though the writing could use some more creative descriptions it was enjoyable. Interesting point is that the writer made the story more realistic by including events which could happen to anyone at school, this made the readers more involved in the story.

catch and release
This story is one of the many chapters of the fan-fiction. In this chapter, David’s family and friends were attacked by paladins and Anna, Millie and Cole escaped while David and Griffin held them off. It progressed onto revealing a group of people call the underground resistance and the events that transpired in the headquarters of the resistance.

The pace of this fan-fic really kept my attention on what was happening to all the characters, this worked really well because it keeps the readers entertained instead of having a long dull story that readers may find frustrating to read.


Ideas thus far for Draft
Story is set in Germany somewhere (Munich?) and time frame is about the year 2010 or 2011

The protagonist (code name - Snow) is a paladin who is on the run after discovering that he is also a jumper

Story set in the protagonist's POV

The protagonist is running away from his former partner and the whole paladin organisation

Story goes on to how the protagonist is on the run and the events that he encounters

--> Starting scene - description of the setting and how the the character has got there (Munich train station coffee shop)
                            - a brief introduction of the character
                             - talking to himself of how ironic it is that he is now hunted when he used to hunt and how the first jump happened during his last chase
                           
-->   Introducing the antagonist (Amber) who is spotted by the protagonist (Snow) accompanied by another paladin from another division named (Frost)
-->  Snow reaches the decision that he wants to be on the move when he was spotted by Frost who immediately starts to chase him down
--> Story proceeds to portray the run away of Snow and how eventually he was forced into a dead end and must face Frost and Amber

Draft story

this is heavy, was the first thought that hit me when I finally had the chance to take a breather, for the past 24 hours I have been running because my life has depended on it.
 it's not everyday that your partner, i mean former partner wants you dead.
 My first jump, exactly 24 hours ago when i was hunting down the jumper by the name Mike Turner, who really outdid himself when he surprised me and my partner Amber by luring us into a abandoned factory and setting it off with C4 which he had stacked on the roof top.
 when i saw Amber who was about to be crushed by a falling beam i jumped right next to her and jumped her out in my arms to safety without a single thought of hesitation and realisation of what i have done.
Bad news was after that, Frost, another fellow  paladin who saw what i did, tried to put 50,000 volts in my back.
still new to this "jumping" thing i did the first thing that came to my mind, i dropped Amber and made a run for it. and here i am 24 hours later in the Munich central train station, buying a long needed coffee to compensate for my lack of sleep .

 "ahhhhh, much better" sighs of relief as i slumped into a chair and sipped my coffee, " what to do now?"
less than 24 hours ago i was still a paladin who hunted jumpers, now I am the one who is being hunted like an animal. ohh the irony. a smirk spread across my face as i realize what i kind of mess i was in for.

    1. Thanks for the comment, I am still planning on how the plot unfolds itself so even I am not sure where the story is going.
      Developing it will be my first priority.

    1. I agree on the idea of fixing the grammar and spelling. The story is full of potential since the movie was so great. Personally I loved it.
