Well, I am a writer. Probably a poor one. Even so, I am compelled to make an attempt at making an Dragonball fanfiction, and so I have. Like most starting authors, I have high hopes for my attempts and generally I believe that the first three chapters I have produced are decent, considering the fact that this is my first major attempt at creative writing. However, if anyone is reading this and proceeds to read my fanfiction, I ask for an review. I would like an opinion from an stranger, because asking someone close to home would probably cause me to lock up or to get a poor response.
Of course, why would my fanfiction be worth reading in the first place? Well, I have tried to avoid changing any of the characters originally from Dragonball, and my own characters I have tried to avoid being poor. Yet, I sometimes feel like as if my writing is sluggish or trite. Now, aside from not tinkering with the core events and characters, I DO try to expand upon aspects that were lightly touched upon, trying to give the Dragonball universe an somewhat more realistic (though not out of character) approach, since writing a book is different from a comic or TV show.
By realistic, I mean detailing the politics, the whys and hows. I also try to make things tie into the more detailed portions of the show. For example, how come does an fool like Pilaf have managed to obtain so advanced vehicles? How and why did King Vegeta know Freeza was coming? In the end, I hope my attempt will bear fruit. Below is an link to the first chapter.
Currently my fanfiction stands at 59,000 or so words, and I have just begun work on the next chapter and possibly sidestories.
