Not anymore. ^^;;; This was when the episode first aired, quiet a while back. I e-mailed saying something like "I love DBZ, so I was really amused by your parody, it was pretty dead on." And the reply was something like "Thanks for liking it, Tom [the other writer] and I are fans of D...

Well, *I* am amused by it, and so somehow I think that's all that matters. Excuse me for not leaving the KND fandom because you say it's bad, that is, please don't think badly of me for not taking your word as law. ^^

The only recent DBZ parody I can think of getting a kick out of was on Kids Next Door (a show that I'm not that fond of.) HIS POWER'S OFF THE CHARTS!!! ...we need some bigger charts... Ah, what better a way to combine my two biggest fandoms then to have one parody the other. ^^; Actually, I e-maile...

Hm... I have one, although it's more of a "dear fan girls " then fanboys... "DBZ is NOT a romance anime. ...So stop whining that there weren't enough Bulma/Vegeta "moments" and rent Fushugi Yuugi instead. That, or maybe: The card game -- Japanese or American -- is not the &q...

Here's the question, though... is it that people really do want to read what you wrote... or is it that the WRITERS want OTHER people to read what THEY wrote? ^_~ I'm sure it's very easy to answer both ways on that ^^. Incredibly, as you'll see both stories that say "Review or I won't update!&...

No-one cares about your fanfic. It may contain great character moments regarding Vegeta coming to terms with his brutal past. It may contain some gripping drama as Gohan turns on Goku for neglecting him during his teenage years. It may contain Pan turning Super Saiyan 70 billion. We don't care. No-...

As much as it weirds me out to be argueing over a minor character's chest size, I can't recall seeing Bra with any boobs at all in DBGT. And, with her outfit, I'd think it would be easy to tell. >__>

Well, I write continuation stories, so the point IS to add what isn't there -- the trick is to add it in a way that makes sense. Using the "OMG! Bra is the STRONGEST!!!1" example, most people just like to say "she's been trained all her life, but we never saw it." Which is, of co...

I don't know about looking *that* old -- as I recall, she's flat chested -- but her outfit *for sure* implies that ten years works a lot better. I mean, does the world really need 8-year-old hookers? (whether or not 13/14 year old hookers is any better shall be ignored)

v.v;;; Jeez, don't get so huffy about it. A Mary-Sue does not equal a Self Insert, simply because an insert is "you" and a Mary-Sue is "who you wish to be." They over-lap a lot, of course, but they aren't the same thing. I've seen pleanty of Mary-Sues that are completely differen...

Well, I believe that a self insert can be a 'Sue, but a 'Sue is not always an SI. The circles I hang out in tend to define them differently; it's true that a Mary-Sue is often who the author wishes they were, but it's just as often that a MS is just an original character gone wrong. Like rectangles ...

Okay, thanks! I'm a bit less confused now, although the fact that Bra is apparently 8/9 in DBGT is scaring me a little, what with the outfit and all. o.o;;

Ages! (oh boy...)

I've just decided that I am completely wrong / confused in regards to character ages, and so being too lazy to sort things out myself, I've decided to go pester you guys about them. See, I've always been under various impressions (like DBGT taking place 10 years after DBZ, or Gohan being 18 during M...

I'd still advise against it, just because the number one rule of crossovers is "Make sure the things you're crossing over are compatible." As in, a "Slayers" and "Lodoss War" crossover (as they're both fantasy anime) would make a little sense, but I can find nothing com...

Anyway, I'd advise against anime / RP crossovers. They never work out, no matter how well writen they are.

^^;; That's a good point. Since I tend to hang around the "second generation" fans on ff.net, I usually forget that some people don't count DBGT -- since my portion of the fandom deals with DBGT characters and events, I'm really too used to including as best I can in my stories and theorie...

The only thing I see wrong with that is that Bra doesn't seem to use any fighting ability until Baby controls her. I wish I knew the exact episodes, but in the "one where Gohan attacks her and Vegeta" Bra uses a car to escape instead of flying (a lot faster), and in "one of the fighti...

They don't all suck, but I agree it takes some digging, sometimes. As for the pairing of non-canon couples... that can be bad, but I've read stories that really make it work out... probably because it's not just "randomly, characters A and B are together now!"

So there. ^^
