General Fan Fiction Thread

Anyone got any cool abilities for Hit to share? So far, I've got him being able to make his opponents bones explode inside their bodies, striking at his opponents nervous system to make channeling ki impossible or to make it go berserk inside their bodies, causing painful contortions of the muscles and eventual death.

Yo I don't think Goku has underestimated anyone harder than full power Hit, if Hit was holding that back.

Well, Goku DID want to see his best moves and most if not all of them are pretty bad for a no kill tournament

Would it be unusual for Chronoa to be accompanying East Supreme Kai and Kibito in regards to the Buu problem?

It'd be an odd choice, since Buu doesn't endanger time, so it's not her business. That said, this is fan fiction and there's always a way to make things like that work.

Well, here's another thing:

Would it be unusual for East Supreme Kai's name to literally be Shin?

Here's a little short thing, set in Cell's timeline at the same time Fusion Zamasu has merged with Trunk's timeline.

The Zamasu native to Timeline 2, on the other hand, was having a fine evening of tea with his master, Gowasu.
And then he noticed giant laughing faces of himself in the clouds.
"Erm...Gowasu-san?"
Gowasu looked up. "Yes, what is it?"
Zamasu pointed at the sky. Gowasu turned to look at it, and his jaw dropped.
"What's that?"
"I don't know, Zamasu. I really don't know. Looks like events in another timeline are rippling into this one."
"But those faces...they're MINE."
"Oh. I have no idea about that."
The two shrugged and continued drinking their tea.

Basically, Timeline 2's Zamasu (the one from Cell's timeline) never had a fall from grace.

How exactly does the Babidy Majin-form work? Does the power stay with the person until they die? Does it stay if Babidy is dead? Can he remove it?

The mark lets Babidi control someone but the potential unlock is a separate thing. This is implied when Babidi says "Now to unleash your latent potential!" after the mark takes over control of Vegeta.

Wow. This is literally the exact same idea I've had circulating in my head for some time now. I don't see why not; we have Chronoa, Gowasu, Zamasu, etc. The only ones that haven't been named are the Universe 7 ones (North/East/South/West) and the Universe 6 one we saw.

With the arc done I finally feel free to start my fan-fiction. A mix of Dragon Ball with One Piece.
It starts with Cargo (the Namekian Kid murdered by Freeza) leaving Namek to grow stronger, his search fuelled by the trauma of his death. He meets some people who join him, visits a bunch of interesting planets, learns about the Universe, etc...
I plan to have this happen in a place without Goku and crew. Cell's timeline doesn't have anybody, right?

I already have a bunch of concepts that I believe would leave people salivating. The first arc will be Cargo gathering the Namekian Dragon Balls. He visits a village for each ball and has to go through a trial in each one. For example, one is the village of Giants inhabited by Namekians who choose to live as Giants, the trial obviously relates to this special ability.

Opinion's about the whole idea?

I can't comment on anything related to One Piece, since I've never watched or read any of it, but the trial thing seems like it could be fun. And you're basically right, Cell's timeline has no remaining Z Fighters. Bulma is around, though. Yajirobe too, I suppose.

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 revolve around them.

I recommend One Piece, if you're up for a long term commitment. If Dragon Ball had the care and planning One Piece has, it would likely be one of the best mangas ever.
Bulma and Yajirobe are inconsequential for my story, I just want to avoid the big boys and the problems that might arise with their existence.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was thinking, Dragon Ball's Universe is so small it's actually annoying. I plan to make use of everything we were given: Freeza's remnant army, the Galactic Patrol and the Gods. The last one I'll be careful with, since their power can break the story if mishandled.
Regarding the Gods, I'll focus on the effects they had more than the present ones. One idea is a planet which has a sleeper army created by a Kaioshin millions of years ago. But time passed, the army was never awoken and the Kaioshin never showed up again, so the army turned into a temple full of powerful warriors following a distorted set of values with roots on their previous mission.

I rarely write story's based on the main cast, it's so uninteresting overall to me.

I'd definitely recommend you incorporate One Piece's RPG-esque way of ramping up the stakes. One of the things that does better than anyone, up until the Marineford, is giving tough but not insanely stronger enemies. Let's say Cargo is level 1 and his current antagonist is level 3-5, a good deal stronger but not unreasonably so. The Namek arc really screwed the pooch but giving Freeza vastly higher reserves of power after his insane initial strength AND making him the emperor of the universe.

I don't have the kind of booze that made Mr. Toriyama make his villain 99% stronger than his previous iteration. That had to be some strong shit!

One thing I always wonder in fanfiction is if it's wise to keep using Gotenks or have Goten and Trunks developing into their own characters. Ideally, you'd make both Gotenks and the two individual fighters unique, though.

Definitely develop them separately. Also, do try to have Gotenks be a balanced mix of both Fusees' personalities, though you could optionally have him lean towards one or the other.

That makes me wonder, would Gotenks's personality change as the two grow up and develop? Or is the first fusion's personality one that sticks with him for eternity? Could it count as erasing the original gotenks? How pretentiously can I overthink this?
