He Was Homer Simpson.
He promised to take her away. He said he was going to save her. He knew she deserved better and genuinely loved her. He was Homer Simpson.
She was Marge Bouvier and she was beautiful with a round face, long neck and flowing blue locks. Her long-lithe limbs sent chills up Homer's spine. She was graceful, poised and scantily dressed. Cheers and woops rose from the crowd as Marge slid down the pole. Knowing full well that she was a crowd favourite, Marge slipped a wink to one of the clubs regulars, as she quickly scanned her audience for the one face she really wanted to make smile.
He noticed her scanning the crowd and straightened his back hoping she would look his way.
"Oh where is he?" she thought to herself as she leaned back into a flip with her legs splayed. Wolf whistles erupted from the men in the front row as Homer moved himself to a more visible position by the bar. The dim light complimented his broad jaw-line and the planes of his face. Finishing her last twirl of her routine, Marge spotted him. She drew in a quick breath, he always seemed to take that away from her. Taking one more dip, Marge exited the stage and made her way towards her changing room.
"You were great tonight hun" one of the dancers commented as she walked past. She smiled but kept moving, tonight wasnt the night for small talk. Her plans with Homer took the front of her mind. He promised to take her away and she laughed when she said he was going to save her. Marge knew Homer was sweet and caring, but never knew how he could see that she deserved better. Or how he could love her. Either way, Marge knew that being with Homer was something she could always look forward to at the end of the night. Turning the corner full of excitement, Marge hastily opened the door to her changing room just as a husky voice spoke.
"Hello Love"
Terror froze her in one spot. Her heart beating erratically. Attempting to keep face she turned.
"Fat Tony. I didnt see you there"
Smirking he stepped towards her. "Now that I dont believe" His hand reached out and stroked the side of her face.
Marge was scared. The one thing Fat Tony had wanted, she couldnt give him. Not anymore. Not now since she had Homer. But Fat Tony always got what he wanted and right now it was to have his way with Marge.
Meanwhile, Homer still sat by the bar waiting for his girl to come out. Staring at the door that read "Staff Only", Homer took the time to reminisce about the first time he laid his eyes on Marge. He was a mess, his wife had just left him for his best friend Barney Gumble and sought for comfort at the bottom of a bottle. One night whilst under his drunk stupor, Homer stumbled into the local brothel. He didnt know why he was there, or what to expect. Visually he was aroused by the topless woman surrounding him, but emotionally he was distraught. Nothing could pull him out of the black hole he had been sucked into. No one seemed to car enough to realise how vulnerable he was. No one except her. She approached him, recognising him from highschool. Back then they were inseperable, until she moved away from Springfield to live in New York.
Anxiously she asked the disorientated man, "Excuse me Sir, but you wouldnt by any chance to be Homer Simpson ?"
Slurring his words Homer responded "Yeah thats me"
"Oh my .." she began.
Homer glanced up. Something about her voice triggered familiarity in his head. She smiled.
"You have no idea how much I've much wanted to see you again Homey" Though his sight was slightly blurry, Homer recognised who she was. The memory of their friendship back in highschool re-ignited some sort of hope within him. If he remembered correctly, he was secretly in love with her.
"M..Marge ?"
"You remember me ?"
"Of course .. we were .. I was .. I loved you"
Realising what he had just passed through his lips, he sobered up quickly. She smiled weakly, her cheeks flushed.
"I loved you too"
The silence that followed was neither awkward nor embarrassing. For some reason the two felt comfortable with around each other. They simpled stared at each other as if they could look into each others thoughts and read. Something between them had clicked and they knew it. It was only a matter of time before they acted upon it and once they did, it was amazing. They hadnt looked back since. Slowly coming out of his daze, Homer glanced down at his watch. Marge was taking a while to come out, and something didnt seem right. He got up and decided to look for her, first checking with the stage manager Moe. Moe hadn't seen her, but advised Homer to head backstage to her changing room.
Just as Homer was about to reach Marge's room, he heard her scream. Panic stricken, Homer rushed to her aid only to see Fat Tony holding her down. Marge struggling to get out of his vice-grip, looked to her side and saw Homer thundering towards her. Fat Tony however did not. Homer full of rage, threw Fat Tony off Marge, pulling her up to the safety in his arms. Sobbing into his shirt, Homer pulled Marge in closer, lifting her so he could carry her out. Fat Tony stood up and raised him arm pointing a gun at Homers back. He pulled the trigger. A scream followed, Fat Tony escaped. She lay there still sobbing.

'Previously on the Island'
This blog incorporates scenes from the TV series - LOST, with added characters.
A group of passengers on the Oceanic Flight 815 from LA to Sydney crashed on ‘The Island’, and are lost. There were 48 survivors.
8 of the survivors finally left the island, after much calamity and death. Some chose to stay back.
These 8 people were now settling back into their normal lives when a guy named Jeremy Bentham turns up tells each of them that they had to go back to the island. Most of them return to the island.
Crashing once again on the island in the year 1970 and settling in for a couple of weeks, the returning survivors [except Aaron] were having dinner at Sawyer and Juliette’s house.
“Why did you all come back to the Island? Everything was going smoothly until you guys turned up, now the head quarters of the Dharma Initiative suspect something” Sawyer said frustratingly changing the mood of the evening.
“We wanted to visit and see how you guys were” Kate smiled and shrugged casually.
“Really”? Sawyer said sarcastically.
“Look, we thought you needed saving” Hurley butted in.
“Well if we needed saving we would’ve obviously face-booked you and said so.” Sawyer responded.
“You have internet here? Can I use your computer please; I just need to update my status.” Hurley answered back cheekily, which only added to Sawyers anger, causing everyone at the dinner table to start yelling at each other.
At that same time The Island had one of those “Flash Forward” moments....
“So, your challenge for today is to.....HOLY HECK!!” Ryan Seacrest yelled in amazement and shock.
The group still yelling at each other paused and looked around to find celebrities standing around them stunned at their sudden appearance.
“Ugh, what year are we in?” Jack asked, still holding his fork and knife acting like what had just happened was normal.
“Oh My Gosh, It’s the cast from LOST” Lady Gaga shouted running to greet the unexpected group.
“What is this? What are you guys doing here? HOW did you get on the Island?” Sawyer asked bewilderingly.
“Did you guys just have one of your ‘flash forward’ moments? Well,”
Ryan continued without letting anyone answer his question
“We’re in the year 2015 guys, and what we have here is Celebrity Survivor in which I’m hosting. There are 8 remaining celebrities who consist of Lady Gaga, who you’ve just met, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Hayley Williams from Paramore, Matthew Tuck from the band Bullet for My Valentine, Orlando Bloom, Dane Rumble from New Zealand, and S N double O P D O double G.” Ryan said with a big grin on his face walking towards the group to greet them.
“You still haven’t answered my question, how did you get on the Island?” Sawyer demanded.
“Gees Sawyer, take a chill pill” Snoop Dogg butted in. “Why don’t you just calm down g. We got here by plane obviously. And no, we didn’t ‘crash’ here like you idiots did. Our helicopter's right there, pointing in the direction where it was parked.
“Scientists have said that the island won’t have any more of those flash forward moments, because ‘the others’ have been exterminated off the island” Orlando said. “But now that you guys just had one... we need to get off the island ASAP.”
So Ryan, the Pilot and the celebrities all rushed to the helicopter. “What about us?” Sun and Kate asked running behind them.
“What about you? You guys wanted to come back to the island didn’t you? Now, if you will excuse us, we have to get off this island, maybe we’ll even catch this vey episode!” Ryan said hurrying the celebrities into the helicopter.
Suddenly the ‘smoke monster’ appeared and tore the helicopter apart and then vanished into thin air; this incident killed Orlando, Hayley, Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg. The rest survived, some were badly injured.
“Sweet Niblets, now I’m going to die!” Miley said falling on the sand.
The group ran towards the scene and took care of the celebrities’ wounds.
Bandaging up Miley’s cut; Sayid asks Miley if she would let his daughter attend one of her Parties in the U.S.A one day.
After burying the bodies of those that died, everyone had to find a Dharma Initiative Station so that they could communicate to the outside world and be saved.
So onward they went to find a station, Beyonce stopped for a minute, Dane Rumble asking why she stopped.
“It’s the Climb.” She said looking up at a big mountain they were going to have to hike over.
“I can almost see it…”
Dane Rumble, joining in with saying aloud the lyrics to Miley Cyrus’ song – The Climb.
“What, that dream You’re dreaming?” Snoop Dogg following on.
“We found it” Frank yelled out. So they opened the hatch and went down one by one. Jack, without wasting anytime picked the phone up and called 911 whilst everyone else sat down.
“Hey, was sup Wilson?” Said Snoop witha grin on his face.
“Who are you talking to dude?” Hurley asked Snoop Dogg then turning to a soccer ball with a face drawn on it.
Everyone was now happy about the good news and everyone started cheering. But to their dismay, the ‘smoke monster’ had come back for more humans...

Carefully sellected, and lovingly arranged.
INDIANA JONES
The_Past_Returns
This is a really well written story, describing Indy's return to Marion's bar in 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' from Marion's point of view. It does a really good job of putting you in her shoes, and making you feel like a woman would when a man like Indiana Jones walks back into your your life and makes your knees weak from powerful emotions and stirred-up memories. (A man like Harrison Ford would have that effect on most women). This one comes highly recommended.
STAR WARS
Said_the_Joker_to_the_Thief
I thought this was a quite a fun read. It's about things going wrong during 'order 66' and there's some slick action sequences involving a couple of clone troopers and Ahsoka, the annoying little jedi girl from the 'clone wars' cartoon series. The whole thing is pretty nicely written, and quite enjoyable.
THE BOURNE IDENTITY
Kirill_Redemption
This story looks like its about some Treadstone agent other than Jason Bourne who finds himself in a 'just woke up from a coma with amnesia'-type scenario which is similar to the first movie in that it's quite stripped down and simple. It worked great for the movie, so let's see if this story can capture that same tension and slickness. I haven't read the whole thing but it looks like it might be pretty good.
SEINFELD
The_KMans_own_series: The_pilot
I couldn't find any interesting story about George (surprisingly little Seinfeld fanfiction out there), so I had to settle for this one about Kramer's life after the prison term with which the series ended. It's a fun read for the idea, even though it does seem like it was written by a thirteen year old. (A lot of fanfiction is.)
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE
The_Secret
This story seems to have nothing to do with mission impossible, but it was kinda interesting so I read it anyways. Its an amusing little vignette about an undercover cop who dresses up like a girlfriend in order to invoke a confession. No Tom Cruise anywhere though...
FRASIER
When_The_Night_Fell_Over
This looks like an amusing story told from Niles's point of view. It chronicles his courtship of Maris, which is interesting because we never get to see Maris on the TV show, so having her character described in written form is kinda entertaining. Personally I was a little disappointed by the story, but I guess it's hard to capture the humour of a show like Frasier in a short story, as so much of it is visual.
FRASIER
Guilty_Little_Secret
The idea for this story is really much more interesting than the story itself as it is so poorly written. If you're a Frasier fan, then the concept would have been intriguing; What if Frasier hadn't walked into the hotel room where his brother Niles had just slept with his ex-wife Lillith? Unfortunately the story is rubbish, and an agonizing ordeal to read. Only about a paragraph long, and so devoid of any insight or wit, that I had to soothe myself afterwards by reading my own very excellent fan-fiction story which can be found here:
SEINFELD
The_Forum_About_Nothing
This is not a fan-fiction story, but it might be an interesting forum to check out if you like Seinfeld, because it is a place where people meet and talk about nothing. If anyone is interested in writing fan-fiction related to Seinfeld, then this might be an interesting place to get ideas.
THE A-TEAM
Underneath_the_Dying_Rambutan
This one's a really fun read about how the A-team was formed. It starts with Hannibal being dumped in POW camp, and meeting the characters who would become key players in the series later on. It's refreshingly well written, with remarkably few grammar and punctuation errors. In fact, I noticed that I couldn't find any at all, which is unusual in fanfiction. 5 out of 5 stars.
KNIGHT RIDER
All_Is_Not_Lost
I've read only half of this one so far but I must say that it has a really interesting premise. I only vaguely remember the episode it was based on, but it was called 'Lost Knight' and it was one of the more pivotal ones. This story adds a little twist to that. Enjoy!

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE
The_Secret
( Which is a shame because I really like Tom Cruise. I think he is a good man and I don't care what people say about him! I know that he's a really great guy with a heart of gold, and all that nasty scientology stuff is just vindictive, and ill-informed, slander from jealous people. All his movies are awesome, even 'Far and Away' and 'Days Of Thunder' ! )

Samantha's Ten Fanfiction Links
House of Wax
This fanfic is based on the horror movie House of Wax suggesting 3 simple rules to survive longer when in the hands of psychotic murderers. I thought this fanfic was really interesting as I too, like the author, don’t like the fact that victims just ask questions right before they die, like ‘you don’t have to do this’ or ‘are you going to kill me?’...Fight Back!
Dia's Story: Afraid to go to sleep
The author of this fanfic talks of the movie Blood Diamond from Dia’s perspective, as he is not shown often. It is based on events after Dia is taken by South African Rebels and is trained to be a Child Soldier. After a mass killing he realises what he has done and wonders how he had done it? And who could’ve possessed him into doing such a thing?
Orphan -Revenge (Plotting Research)
The author of this fanfic didn’t like the idea of Esther dying at the end, so they made an alternate ending in which Esther obviously lived and was now seeking revenge. This fanfic is about how Esther begins her revenge in finding out the whereabouts of Kate Coleman and her two kids – daughter, max and son, Daniel.
Orphan - Revenge (The Start of Revenge)
This is the next chapter from the previous fanfic (Plotting Research). Esther finds out where the family live and catches the bus to their house. She arrives at her destination, and then starts thinking of ways to kill the family one by one whilst collecting objects from within and outside of the house to do so.
Sound of Magic
This fanfic is a Harry Potter and Sound of Music Crossover, characters from Harry Potter play out the movie Sound of Music. Harry is asked to leave the abbey/the order and attend to an ex-Auror Captain and his seven children. "Let's start from the very beginning"...
12.5 Things I really, really, really dislike about you
This fanfic is taken from the movie '10 things I hate about you.' The poem Kat writes about Patrick in the movie is re-named and re-written by the author of this fanfic. If Kat really hated the guy, the poem would've been worded differently, hence the reason why the this fanfic has been created.
Harry Potter and the War of the Ring
Dumbledore exists in two worlds (Middle Earth and Magical World-Hogwarts). Dumbledore also known as ‘Gandalf’ asks Harry to save middle earth and the people from destruction. I really liked how the author starts this fanfic off at the battle of the Last Alliance and then blends it into a Harry Potter Scene. Too bad it’s just one chapter.
Sparta
As the author of this fanfic, they describe the life of a Spartan Warrior 300 years after the events in the movie '300'. It takes place during the second peloponnesian war. This fanfic is told from Artaxes point of view, he tells of his life story of how he became a Spartan.
A beautiful Death
Stelio shares his thoughts about death and how he and his freinds thought of war as a game until it affected them. He also talks about how his friend died right infront of him and how he could've prevented it. He too, was now facing death as the persians prepared to take the last of their army out.
I survived the infection
This fanfic is taken from the movie '28 days later'. It basically talks about a guy who finds himself alone in a deserted town on the streets of London. Calling out for anybody in existence no one answers, but to his dismay, he isn’t alone, and becomes a victim of vicious inhumane beasts. I liked this fanfic because I like the movie - not the fact that there was a lot of blood and people dying, but the buzz I got from it and always wondering what’s going to happen next!
This fanfic is based on the horror movie House of Wax suggesting 3 simple rules to survive longer when in the hands of psychotic murderers. I thought this fanfic was really interesting as I too, like the author, don’t like the fact that victims just ask questions right before they die, like ‘you don’t have to do this’ or ‘are you going to kill me?’...Fight Back!
Dia's Story: Afraid to go to sleep
The author of this fanfic talks of the movie Blood Diamond from Dia’s perspective, as he is not shown often. It is based on events after Dia is taken by South African Rebels and is trained to be a Child Soldier. After a mass killing he realises what he has done and wonders how he had done it? And who could’ve possessed him into doing such a thing?
Orphan -Revenge (Plotting Research)
The author of this fanfic didn’t like the idea of Esther dying at the end, so they made an alternate ending in which Esther obviously lived and was now seeking revenge. This fanfic is about how Esther begins her revenge in finding out the whereabouts of Kate Coleman and her two kids – daughter, max and son, Daniel.
Orphan - Revenge (The Start of Revenge)
This is the next chapter from the previous fanfic (Plotting Research). Esther finds out where the family live and catches the bus to their house. She arrives at her destination, and then starts thinking of ways to kill the family one by one whilst collecting objects from within and outside of the house to do so.
Sound of Magic
This fanfic is a Harry Potter and Sound of Music Crossover, characters from Harry Potter play out the movie Sound of Music. Harry is asked to leave the abbey/the order and attend to an ex-Auror Captain and his seven children. "Let's start from the very beginning"...

Tale from the Mos Eisley Cantina
This is an iconic scene from 'Star Wars - A New Hope', told from Greedo's point of view. Those of you who have seen the movie should remember this scene well.
The Mos Eisley Cantina was unusually crowded for an early afternoon. There were a lot of dangerous characters hanging around, and young Greedo tried not to make eye contact with any of them. He stood in a smoke-filled corner, as far away from the bar as possible, and did his best to look dangerous like everyone else. It wasn't easy, because he was absoluteley terrified, and his knees felt a little unsteady as a result.
He felt a large drop of sweat running down his forehead and moved his hand up to wipe it, but stopped himself just in time. The cantina was a tough place, he thought to himself, and wiping forehead-sweat would surely be seen as a sign of weakness around here. Greedo could not afford to draw that kind of attention. This place was for the tough and the dangerous, and Greedo was neither. He did not belong here, and had no business being here, especially not on his fifteenth birthday.
Greedo had graduated from Wasserstein & Goldman's Bounty Hunter Academy no more than three days ago, which made him one of the galaxy's top five youngest bounty hunters. Of course none of the other bounty hunters actually knew that, because Greedo had falsified the birthdate on his credentials in order to gain admittance into the academy in the first place. He really wished that he hadn't done that now.
If he hadn't lied on his application form he wouldn't be here now, in the most dangerous place on Tatooine, on a bounty hunting contract he wasn't even remotely qualified for.
Greedo really wanted to cry. He had just turned fifteen and he was about to meet with certain death, or 'Han Solo', as he was known to non-bounty hunters. Nobody crosses Han Solo and lives to tell about it. Everone in the galaxy knew that. It was the golden rule of bounty hunting, and the academy had firm instructions regarding this: Whenever there is a bounty on Han Solo's head, a bounty hunter must immediately pinpoint Solo's exact location in the galaxy, and travel quickly in the opposite direction until there is at least a dozen star system's distance between them. And if one should be unfortunate enough to spot the Millennium Falcon ahead in space, one must feign immediate engine failure, and remain perfectly still until the Falcon has disappeared into hyperspace.
But Greedo had drawn the short straw, and now it was too late to back out. Jabba the Hut's men were surely here somewhere, watching him. And they knew Solo was coming here. They would make sure that Greedo went through with it, or died trying. He considered feigning blaster failure, but one of Jabba's men would probably just sidle up to him and quietly slip him a new one. There was absolutely no way out of this now. He looked at his watch. It was time. Greedo downed his drink and tried to remember one of his childhood prayers.
When Han Solo walked through the door, the whole cantina felt it. It was as if the atmosphere itself stood perfectly still, afraid to make even the slightest move around Solo, lest it should anger him. Hushed conversations around the cantina suddenly became even more hushed, and more polite somehow. The Cantina band dropped at least five or six beats but quickly recoverd, and bravely continued their set, but in a slightly subdued and apologetic tone. Greedo kept his head down, and tried to watch Solo's movements from his booth. The dangerous looking characters by the bar were now doing their best to look curteous and accomodating as Solo ordered a drink. Several gangsters tripped over themselves, trying to make room for him and his Wookie Chewbacca. A couple of attractive young women by the bar fainted when Han Solo brushed them with a gaze. Greedo just watched a while, and waited.
There was a sudden commotion over by the bar, and Greedo heard a loud scream. Some clumsy fool must have had a few too many drinks, and accidentally made eye contact with Han Solo. But when the crowd cleared, Greedo was surprised to see an old man in a robe holding a lightsaber. He had just cut some ruffian's arm off, and was now helping a young farmboy up on his feet. Wonder what the hell that was about, Greedo thought to himself. He then watched with interest as Han Solo walked over to a booth and joined Chewbacca, who was sitting down with the old man and the farmboy. They seemed to be discussing something of importance. For a moment, Greedo felt his hopes rising. Maybe they would all leave together, and deny Greedo the chance of confronting Solo one on one. Or better yet, maybe Imperial Stormtroopers would show to investigate the incident with the old man, and Greedo would have an iron-clad excuse for abandoning the mission!
As Greedo watched them talk, he saw that the farmboy had clearly no idea who he was talking to, for it looked like he was actually arguing with Solo! That young idiot has just signed his death warrant, Greedo thought to himself, fully expecting to see the farmboy blasted in the head, along with the old man. But much to Greedo's amazement, Solo actually seemed amused with the boy. and seemed to be baiting him on, as if enjoying himself.
The old man seemed to have reached an agreement with Solo, because he took the farmboy by the arm, and led him out of there. Then the wookie left too, and Han Solo was left by himself. At last, the dreaded moment had arrived. It was time to make a move. Greedo swallowed hard. Goodbye galaxy, he thought.
On shaking knees, he approached Solo, and pointing his quivering blaster at him, tried to put as much authority into his voice as his dry throat would allow:
"Going somewhere, Solo?"
"Yes Greedo, as a matter of fact, I was just on my way to see your boss.."
Wow, Greedo thought. He's talking to me. I should be dead already, but he's actually talking to me. I don't believe it. This is going really well so far! Maybe, just maybe, I might make it out of here alive!....
