Rant and Rave
Here is the part of the site where I just rave, and process out a lot of hoohah! People are welcome to rant and rave here too.
A Love to Last Through the Ages
I have read some few alternaverse fanfics so far, and I have noticed
that, no matter who "Goku", or shall I say, Kakarrot is, he's gonna
get Chi-Chi. I guess some writers think that they shouldn't break the
pairing that is already there. Hey, whatever the reason, I like it.
Let's see the pairings made so far: Kakarrot
(the Overlord) and Chi-Chi (the slave girl), Kakarrot
(the Overlord) and Mirai Chi-Chi, Kakarrot
(the Saiyan warrior) and Chi-Chi (the female warrior), Kakarrot
(the Saiyan warrior) trains Chi-Chi and they grow to love each other.
I think that you should check out these stories. I'm just pretty excited
about these fics. Okay... now the sugar's wearing off.
What a Girl Sees...
After watching Christina Aguilera's music video for "What a Girl
Wants", I noticed that in the background, there's a jumbo poster of Dragon
Ball Z/GT. I couldn't really tell.
I nearly went insane trying to figure it out, so I taped the video and checked
each frame. (Yeah, I know, what kind of psycho does that? Me!)
I finally paused at the right time, but all I could make out was a familiar head
of spiky black hair.
I hope that you DBZ fans may take the time to notice these things, or at least
appreciate those who do. We crazies from Pluto deserve some credit. ^_^
One Man Army
One day, I was so depressed that people at school were making fun of me,
I went out and bought a tape. The musicians happen to be, in my honest
opinion, Canada's greatest rock group: OUR
LADY PEACE!!!
As I listened, one of the songs that struck me as having a lot in common with
DBZ is the song, "One Man Army".
The title says it all! And I even took the time to analyze the lyrics (my
obssessive nit-picking at work here, see above rant). Just click on this link
and find out.
Now that you have read the little examination, I hope to make a music video out
of that song. But don't expect that to happen anytime soon. I don't
have the clips, and I don't know how to make music videos (>o< doh!!!).
But I hope that some kind person, out there (Yeah, YOU!!), will make it for me
and at least have the courtesy to give me some credit for the idea.
Chi-Chi and Who?
Belive it or not, there are some people out there who think that Chi-Chi
doesn't deserve to be with Goku! *boos in the background* Yes, I
know, pretty sad.
Some people have a pretty good idea of who Chi-Chi should actually be
with. Let's take a look at the candidates: Yamcha, Vegeta *gasp*, and even
Piccolo! *murmurs and gasps*
Let's see, someone did a fanfic called "Maybe
Next Lifetime", and that one had Yammie fall for Chi-Chi. Well,
it would make sense, 'cuz he did meet Chi-Chi when she little and said that he
"liked" her. Then there is the fact that he is a player, or was
a player. Depends on if he did change his ways. But I digress, onto
the next alternate couple.
Then, Dot Warner did a fanfic called "The
Odd Couples". Hmmm. Vegeta and Chi-Chi... I guess another
Saiyan/human pairing would make sense. They both have a temper
that is not a force to be reckoned with, she cooks, he eats, extremely
stubborn... It almost makes sense!
And the most impossible pairing of all: Chi-Chi and Piccolo. This is
impossible since they kinda don't like each other, or maybe they'e just hiding it. This match seems to be made for more humerous purposes, as seen in the
DragonballZ Humour page's Top
Ten Lists, and in the Temple o' Trunks' "Things
DB People Never Say..." list. I'd find it hard to see this as
anything but humourous.
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
The ever so controversial issue in Goku and Chi-Chi's relationship. The
time that they spend with each other. Shall we take points for and
against?
Sure, Goku trains and doesn't go home except to eat. But who cooks for
him? Chi-Chi.
And sure, Chi-Chi seems to drive her family with her nagging. But who
seems to calm her down? Goku.
I mean, Chi-Chi waits for her husband to come back, even after he died. And she
waited seven years the second time he died, even though she could just as easily
remarried. That's devotion! They even had two kids together, did
they just fall from the sky?
I'm sure that you all have heard of the old adage: "Absence makes the heart
grow fonder." I'd say that's one phrase to describe their love.
So for all you cynics, I hope that should stave off your criticism for another
day. *mumbles* Atheists of their love.
Why Goku and Chi-Chi are the Greatest Anime Couple
I found this on the Goku and Chi-Chi vote for best couple. I don't
know who wrote it, but no one has ever written truer words.
4. Because every hero needs a love interest, and who better, funnier, cuter,
feistier, than Chichi?
3. Because they're realistic. Couples in anime are too clichéd, Goku and Chichi are more down to
earth.
2. And a more down to earth means that there's a stronger love between the two
than the other high blown eternal couples.
And the number one reason:
1. Most couples in their format (ol' henpecked got a mean wife) are pure comedy,
but Goku and Chichi managed to pull it off complete with good chemistry. You can
actually feel for them as real people.
Lights
Out
This is the title of an old column I wrote for my good friend at FanFiction.Net,
Becker Wein. I wrote it some time around spring break '99, and it was archived
at FF.N, but now Becker has decided to resign from writing her column, so I
don't know if they're going to take it down.
In it is my interview with Evercool, and I made some reviews about some Harry
Potter and Animorphs fanfics. So, if you like any of those two, then click
on the links.
The Missing Link
Hello, this is Kim, and
check this out (this is why pokemon is in my fanfics):
1. transforming is like evolving.
2. they learn new attacks like a pokemon would.
3. the more the fight the stonger they become.
Yes, maybe Saiyans are an nearly extinct pokemon.
[Star Otaku's note: She even included this little poem, or song, I dunno. All I have to say is o_O;;]
Goku I chose you, you, yea man. So you three are the last pokemon... I might not be any good but I have badges. YEA MAN! At least you know that you are the 251rst pokemon in this world, at least you three the very legend that now changes anything... Goku, Vegeta and little Gohan yes, you will soon be mine and you cannot stop me for I will be the best like no one will ever be. Pokeball go... ATTACK THAT SAIYAN! Pokeball go... AND CATCH THAT SAIYAN. YES YES YES CAUGHT THAT SAIYAN, YEA YEA YEA SOON I'M THE BEST, MAN MAN MAN I NEED A REST. Now I have all the pokemon.
Hey! Where's the Good Story?
Good God! I've had a hell of a time to come up with this! Okay,
these things I could tolerate, okay? But you guys seem to take us
webmasters for granted. I've got to stop being a nice gal and start
swinging around my lunch bag! Time to tell you all what's really pissing
me off! Right now!
Bad fanfics! You people have no idea what it's like to write
anything! Internet grammar doesn't always apply to a good story. Oh
yeah, and you know what a story needs? A plot! I have to admit, some
stories are creative, quirky, and pretty much out there on the weirdness
spectrum. But you have no idea what I have to go through just to make the
delivery of the story just as good. I can just imagine it now...
Random Fanfic Writer: Gee, I really want to become a
fanfic writer! A really famous and instantly recognized writer!
(In a puff of smoke, the devil himself appears before the Random Fanfic Writer.)
Satan: I'll give you exactly what you want! Just sign this parchment
of human flesh with this pen of blood. It'll ensure you instant fandom
acclaim at the price of your soul!
Random Fanfic Writer: *thinks for a moment* Uh... I don't want to
give away my soul just yet. Why don't I just trade in my basic grammar and
spelling skills along with my creativity?
Satan: *shrugs* Why not? I'll come back for your soul when you
become a sitcom writer. Anyways, go to "The Goku and Chi-Chi
Page", submit your fanfic, and within a few weeks, it'll be up there!
Random Fanfic Writer: *done signing contract* I get to be a sitcom writer?
Satan: I spoke too much. So long, sucker!
(Satan disappears back to the underworld and our Random Fanfic Writer begins to
type away.)
Random Fanfic Writer: okay i gonna write a good fanfic.itz gonna beso
kewl!1! 'Gokou was traning and then chiChi cumz outta their home and yells
at him for fighting so much." hehehe, i'm so kewl!1
I have to tell you all, some of the stories I get are like
this. Either a step up or down from lame assed. And let me tell you
people, I read it and I just think that it was a half assed attempt of trying to
be a good writer. I have to turn some of the bad spelling and sentence
structures around just to make it look like the writer even tried! Okay,
you want me to give you all a list of whose stories were originally like
that? Huh? Let's start with... Okay, I'm not going to tell you
all, but if you want to know, please e-mail me.
You people know who you are, and you better spell check next time! Or
else, I will be forced to reveal your names and never post up your crappy
"stories", AKA: the waste of space of RAM, ROM, and general Internet
bandwidth.
Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest. If any of you people are
offended because of this, let me tell you some thing, I'm angry! I'm
writing out of rage, just expressing my opinion.
How DBZ and Pokemon Are Alike by Kim OK, OK, this is lame but this is how Pokemon and DBZ are alike: Brock=Roshi: They both like girls and Brock once sayed he liked to see girls in bathing suits. I bet Brock would LOVE a porn magazine if he had the chance. Misty(not the one for my soon to come fanfic but the red head)=Bulma: One, they hate bugs; two, they yell alot; three, they're both kinda famous. Ash=Goku and Vegeta: Well they're all kinda heros and well sometimes not very smart at times. Pikachu=Oolong and Puar: Well there both animals in this and are extras. Team Rocket=all bad guys: Bad guys make the plot and we would be lost with out 'em.
The Vegeta Complex by One
of the biggest Goku and Chi Chi fans
Why do so much people think that Vegeta is hot??? I don't think so.
He can look OK sometimes but not usually. He looks especially nasty when
he turns SSJ and his hairline annoys me to no end. I think Goku is a
million times better looking. I think most people like him because of his
bad boy attitude which I understand. Liking him for his looks requires
some explaining. Oh well, that's all I have to say. Thanx for
reading it.
Lack of a Good Thing
Here's Star Otaku again. I'm hopped up on rage and I'm out to kick
ass and hand out lollipops, but I just ran out of lollipops!
I guess I've been griping about a lot of things. Now here's my list of
complaints, in chronological order from earliest to latest: the lack of Goku and
Chi-Chi stories, the influx of Goku and Chi-Chi stories, quality of stories, and
finally, the lack of GOOD Goku and Chi-Chi stories!
I'm being redundant, and I already presented this case a few rants ago, but this
is it!
The first influx of G+CC had good stories, but I had to wade through more loads
of crap. Lack of good grammar, time tense, spelling, and plot
development! The thing is, some people can barely hold onto the present
tense in one sentence! They sometimes switch from past, present, past,
future, and back to present in paragraph!
At FanFiction.Net, there is a lack of
Goku and Chi-Chi stories now. And the very few coming in aren't that
great. Please read the above paragraph if you have no idea what I'm
talking about.
But here it is, my biggest gripe, rant, subject piss and moan about: Bulma and
Vegeta fanfics! God only knows how many of them are out there! The
plot is pretty much recycled and used over and over again! Saiyan prince
meets girl, problem in, girl already has boyfriend. Girls gets really
emotional, breaks up with boyfriend and runs crying to the prince for
comfort. One night stand, prince runs away leaving girl to raise
child. Prince comes back, big fight, and then the reconciliation.
Who hasn't heard it? I mean, sure, there's the odd twist and turn to make
this story uniquely different, and those are jewels, but the rest? Phfft.
C'mon people! I mean, I'd like to encourage more people to ship for Goku
and Chi-Chi, but I can't. And I can't stop anyone from choosing Bulma and
Veggie, but I want more variety out there!
And to me, Generation Z (Pan, Goten, Trunks, Bra, Marron, Uub) has had more than
enough speculation. Pan and Trunks, Trunks and Marron, Goten and Bra...
blah blah blah! But that's what I think. Maybe the Marron and Goten
belief hasn't been taken up by many yet.
But I'm more focused on other couples of DBZ. There are people who may
love Krillin and #18, and we need them. This couple is weirder than Bulma
and Vegeta! I'm surprised that there aren't more K+18 fics and shrines out
there! Heck, while I'm on the subject: Lunch and Tien! How about
these two freaks in love?
There are so many possibilities, and I think that the people need more variety
instead of the watered down, cheaply done, garden variety Saiyan/human fics.
Do Something Original With the AU Fics by Arcadia
Silver
I'm a regular at Fanfiction.net, and I read alot of CC/G fics. To be honest, I'm sick of it. In all the fics, it's like "Chi-chi gets
kidnapped and/or raped. Goku comes, saves her and happily ever after...
blah blah blah." I mean COME ON!!! How many people have forgot that Chi-chi was a fighter in the begining of Dragonball?
In Dragonball Z she trained Goten!! She literally made him into a Super Saiyan!!
For once I'd like to see a fic where Goku gets in trouble and Chi-chi comes and saves HIS ass!!
And then there's the AU fics... Everyone follows the same plot. Saiyans kidnap Chi-chi.
She's becomes Goku's (Kakorott) slave. He's mean, she falls in love with him, he falls in love with her....ect.
Please, be original for once.
So many people ignore the 'mother' angle as well. We never see or hear
anything about Chi-chi's mom in Dragonball/Z/GT which leaves infinate possibilities.
Her mom could have been a Saiyan for all we know!!! It would be nice to see one of these fics.
Another fic I'd like to see is where after GT. Chi-chi gets up off her butt and does something to
bring Goku and Shenlong back BY HERSELF!!!
And then the stereotypes. In alot of fics Chi-chi is mean, loud and and
a real you-know-what, always knocking Goku around with a frying pan. Goku is stupid and a total airhead.
**sigh** Some people can't be original...
Do you have something to say? Send it to me, along with your name and e-mail addy. Oh yeah, and don't forget the rant!
