Thinking about writing a somewhat short Freeza origin story (this one I promise I'll finish at some point! Especially since I'll try to do it all in one go instead of splitting it into different chapters). It'll be part of my DB reboot project that I'll post here once I get around to finishing the ...

You should focus on a main cast of characters. It's totally find to have a secondary cast of characters that appear often but are not the main focus of the story. It's very hard for any writer, professional or not to manage a large cast of characters while still keeping the reader engaged. If you ...

How easy to recognize would Vegeta if he were to say show up in a market place on some alien planet? I'm leaning towards him being fairly infamous even after dropping off the radar following Freeza's demise.
Depends, does Vegeta leave any survivors to remember him?

Also, another question, would ...

Absolutely he could be recognizable. He and Raditz and Nappa were part of Frieza's teams ...

How do you guys approach potentially interesting story ideas for DB that can feel very un-DB like? Like having say galactic politics playing a big part in a story?

DO IT. DOOOOO IIIIIIT.

No seriously, go for it. I love that kind of thing. DB is a huge universe and wide and varied, and politics ...

This sounds awesome! If One Piece does anything right, it's the whole adventure feel and I think Dragon Ball's cosmology could really use a good story like that to make it seem less empty. Kudos on using a more obscure character too, as much as I like the main cast, not every story needs to ...

The name puns don't have to be obvious, either. I have a character named "Dax," which while that IS a name, it's a pun on the Aussie word "dacks" which are pants. Another character is named "Corvus" which means "white crow" - he has white hair. Nothing stupendously creative here, LOL. Although most ...

So, anyone have any fics to add to this list of "fics everyone should read"?:

Cold World
Honor Trip
Savior of Demons
Bringer of Death
The Fall of Lord Frieza
Who would have thought?
Piccolo's Choice
Son Gohan - The Warrior
Break Through the Limit
The Earthling Chronicles

Any other "must-reads ...

Yes I did specifically leave the question kind of open-ended to see what people thought. Specifically I'm working on a scene where one of the main Saiyan characters (future Trunks) is in a spaceship as it crashes into a planet from high orbit. So just trying to figure out how damaged he might be ...

A few people mentioned a planet exploding can damage a Saiyan - are they hurt by the explosion or are they hurt/killed because they can't survive in space?

Oh sweet there's a general fanfiction thread now. :D

So I'm going to go back through and check out any links anyone posted, but in the mean time, here is my own bit of shameless self promotion. I'm working on a fanfic titled "Illumination" (link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4835865/1/Illumination ...

If you wanted to use that idea in a fanfic, sure, go for it. It's interesting and there's nothing in canon to disprove it (or prove it, so it can go either way).

So I looked around for a similar topic and found one, though it's old so I'm going to link just for reference: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26621& This thread deals specifically with weapons, so I'd like to broaden the scope a bit.

What can damage a Saiyan? What kinds of ...

I'd love to see a similar image with Mirai Trunks~ *_*

I love the History of Trunks special. *_* It's one of my favorite storylines in Dragonball. Yeah I suppose I like things dark... I don't know. It felt a lot like Terminator 2, which was one of my favorite movies as a kid (and still is), and I just love time travel stories in general. I'm a bit ...

Even if they somehow had New Namek's coordinates, given Capsule Corp seemed to have been attacked previously by the Androids, I don't believe they had enough technology and resources to build another spaceship. It took Bulma around 16 years to build the car sized time machine.
Wait... it took ...

I pretty much agree with you. I think that whole yr was the majority of their training together. Gohan was pretty impressed with Trunks's improvement, and even thought he might surpass him soon. I always thought Gohan taught Trunks the basics before that yr of training, but I guess it's possible he ...

What's also interesting is that the room seems to count Trunks and future Trunks as two separate people. Of course, it is the Room of Spirit and Time .

Because they are two separate people. They are effectively from two different universes, when you consider how time travel functions in the ...

No, I have no idea where you could read the chapter online. I have the VizBig edition of the manga so it's included in volume 6 of that version. It is a special chapter, so it's not part of the numbered manga chapters, so you're not wrong when you say it's a special. Sorry if I confused you.

How much time did Gohan spend training Trunks in the alternate timeline? The manga chapter "Trunks: The Story" is pretty short and doesn't give a lot to go on as far as how long the two of them had been training. The obvious discrepancy is that Trunks can already turn SSJ in the manga chapter, while ...
