[[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson/Grand Theft Auto: The Untold Stories|Grand Theft Auto: The Untold Stories]] (2006 - 2011) was a fan-fiction series written by [[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson|Zach Marsh]]. During its' short run, the series failed to become well-known amongst fan-fiction writers or Grand Theft Auto fans. The very small audience that had read the series had mixed to negative reactions - some loved the attempt to bridge the gap of the GTA games, while many saw Marsh's immature writing style and plot contradictions to be a turn-off. | [[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson/Grand Theft Auto: The Untold Stories|Grand Theft Auto: The Untold Stories]] (2006 - 2011) was a fan-fiction series written by [[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson|Zach Marsh]].

The series itself had 4 episodes that started to bridge the gap between [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] when the series itself had suddenly come to a halt.

The series made an attempt to bridge every [[Grand Theft Auto]] game together, with [[Tommy Vercetti]] and [[Carl Johnson]] taking the roles of the primary protagonists. It took place in "real time", and each episode took the place of one hour. An entire season took place over one day. Marsh's series, however, was also going to chronicle the days of Johnson's parents, and that story was going to be told in a format similar to a regular story, fragmented and with gaps in-between. The story of Vercetti’s parents wasn’t going to be covered due to the fact that it wasn't written to be as eventful as that of the Johnson family's first generation. | The series made an attempt to bridge every [[Grand Theft Auto]] game together, with [[Tommy Vercetti]] and [[Carl Johnson]] taking the roles of the primary protagonists.

Episode 3 recieved scathing reviews and was the worst-recieved of the entire four episodes. It was considered all over the place with its' plot and droned on and on with far-fetched action, including scenes where characters used technology inconsistent with 1986. | Episode 3 recieved scathing reviews and was the worst-recieved of the entire four episodes.

Episode 4 was also negatively recieved, and the post on Marsh's website was actually attacked by a fan who said the episode contradicted "everything in [Vice City and San Andreas] it was trying to bridge together." After the extremely negative - and even sometimes cruel - reviews that the last 3 episodes recieved, the series went on a hiatus until 2011, when Marsh finally confirmed the death of the series. | Episode 4 was also negatively recieved, and the post on Marsh's website was actually attacked by a fan who said the episode contradicted "everything in [Vice City and San Andreas] it was trying to bridge together."
