How I Met Your Mother - It Was Just One Coffee, Barny

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fan fiction, it definitely captured the characters true personalities with the writer introducing a new character named Julia. Julia seems to have the same humour as the other characters which fits in very well with the general plot of the show.

The story was written in third person, which I think worked really well. There was light banter between Julia and Barney which was very amusing and a light embarrassing scene between Julia and Ted. In the end Julia ends up giving her number to 'Mr Nice guy' Ted. Although I found this fan fiction entertaining I still think there could have been more mystery to whom she fancied between the two guys.

How I Met Your Mother - Pirates of the Slapabbean

There was a really good plot in this story, Ted, Marshall, Lily and Barney all go to the Caribbean to complete the final 5th slap of a 5 Slap bet. The writer had great ideas and conveyed a few humorous portmanteau words and funny phrases such as ''Slaperiffic'' and ''Hey 'Captain Slap Sparrow'! How's the 'Slap Pearl' ''

One thing that I found very frustrating about this fan fiction was the way the writer constantly used ''says Ted'' or ''says Lily''. It made it hard to read and quite repetitive. If the writer had used a more creative way of writing this piece of work it would have been great.

How I Met Your Mother - Catch22

The writer really captured the relationship between Robin and Barney, it showed the depth of feeling she still has for him and helps the audience to see where shes coming from. This narrative was written in third person, which I think is one of the reasons why it worked so well. To sum up the story, it is about a journalist named Robin whose colleague from work Nora is now dating her ex boyfriend Barney.

Robin tries to deny her feeling toward Barney but in doing that realises how much she actually cares for him. I think this piece of work was quite good, the writer shared some good ideas and was clear about the direction on the story. Although it may have been a little bit messy at times I think the author did a good job.

How I Met Your Mother - Change

At the beginning of the story I found it a little hard to read as it kept skipping ahead in time. There were about 5-6 paragraphs that started with a new time or date “Flash forward to 2009” or “September brings a lot of news”. I think the writer could have made fewer transitions in time and by possibly using flash backs or another writing technique portraying the past.

The second half of the story was easier to read. The writer helped us to understand where the narrative was heading and was a lot smoother. Basically the story was a traditional boy meets girl concept, although if you weren’t familiar with the T.V series 'How I Met Your Mother' I’m not sure you would completely understand the story.

How I Met Your Mother - Between the Lines

Great story. It was short and to the point and I enjoyed the way they included the kids into the story. Usually the kids don’t really talk, it’s their dad Ted that is typically telling the story. I liked the way they included Barney and Robin as 'aunty' and 'uncle' and in my opinion I found that using familiar characters it helped make the story seem more genuine.

The writer used playful banter between Barney, Robin and the kids against Ted, which I found very amusing. They have used the movie Star Wars in the narrative, which was

excellent because Star Wars is frequently used in the actual T.V series How I Met Your Mother. I think the author did a great portrayal of the T.V series and it came together well.

Crossover Fan Fiction - How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men Crossover Script

This Script was absolutely terrible, It had no plot at all and was just plain boring. The writer didn't try to set any scene in the story or even make it humorous, the whole point of How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men is the fact that they are comedies, they are supposed to be funny. The writer didn't try and connect you with the characters in any way, which made the story really.

Although I thought it was a great idea, it just didn't work out at all. I think a crossover between the two sitcoms could potentially be a great piece of work and extremely funny.

How I Met Your Mother - Last Train to Brooklyn

This piece of fan fiction was a really pleasant read. The story was about Barney meeting his father for the first time and how he wanted his ex girlfriend and current friend to be with him for moral support. It showed the relationship between Barney and Robin and how they still love each other even though they have a past.

I can imagine a scene like this in the real series of How I Met Your Mother. The writer had great ideas and I could see where he was heading, but I think they need to over look some of the contents. For example I found that it was unrealistic of Barney to be riding the subway as he is extremely wealthy. Overall it was a good story.

How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory Crossover - The Suit Shock Stimulation

I really like the two sitcoms the Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. In this fan fiction they have captured the characters of both shows very well and have greatly intertwined their personalities into the script. In this story Barney from How I Met Your Mother becomes very upset and distraught, this being only over him spotting a horrible chequered suit.

The culprit who is wearing this ugly suit is the one and only Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Barney rises from his seat and dramatically darts toward the door trying to escape what is burning his eyes, while on the way out he spots two more guys wearing the same disgraceful suits. In mock horror while trying not to be sick he rushes past them out into the New York City night. This scene could have easily been in the original T.V series How I Met Your Mother, The writer has represented the characters spot on and the great use of metaphors worked very well.

How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory Crossover - The Cheesecake is Different Here

This piece of fan fiction was really good, the writer really knew a lot about both sitcoms and got the themes spot on. I also enjoyed the way the author changed locations so that it was more realistic that both groups of people would bump into each other. I couldn’t imagine the characters from the The Big Bang Theory going to New York City so it made more sense that the How I Met Your Mother characters went California.

The script was just long enough to develop relationships with the characters which made it seem more pragmatic. I could really imagine this scene happening in both shows which is why I think it works really well.

How I Met Your Mother - Giggles

I was really impressed with this fan fiction, it was the best I have read so far. The writer was so funny and extremely witty, exactly like the show. He set the story at Marshal and Barney’s work Goliath National Bank (GNB), which was great because a lot of the original series was set there. The dialogue between the two characters was perfect and exactly like the real characters personalties.

The humour the writer portrayed regarding Barney was outstanding, He said things like "Anyway, I can't stand around here all day being asked for sexual favours. That's what secretaries are for. Peace out, hombre!" This was perfect for Barney’s character, as he is quite sleazy, even the catch phrases and slang words were bang on point.
