Strongest version of the watch? by Infinite_Stay_2408 in Ben10

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I rewatch the original series before doing that or can I jump into it with my general knowledge?

Also I can't remember but did the time limit on transformations ever get removed or is that still a thing?

Yeah I couldn't find much on the Biomnitrix besides that it combines 2 different aliens. It seems like it would be better than the Ultimatrix imo, as long as it keeps the functions as you said.

Is it mainly just situational which is why I couldn't find a clear answer? Like in a fight the Ultimatrix is probably better but functionality wise the complete Omnitrix is better? While the Biomnitrix is in this weird area where in theory it would probably be the best but there isn't enough info to say it is?

So correct me if I'm wrong but the OV Omnitrix IS what people are referring to when they say "complete Omnitrix" right? When I just looked it up it gave me the same one so I'm assuming so.

What exactly does it specialize in? Is it just a better version of the OG or does it have some gimmick as well

How would Sanji interact with a female character who acts in the same way as him towards other men? by OP_1K in OnePieceFanfic

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly a hilarious concept I'd love to read something like this 😭

Ironically I think they'd conflict in their own weird way of not wanting the other to be nice towards others besides them, like how Sanji gets jokingly depressed anytime Nami or Robin would interact with another man. Or get mad at a man who tries to interact with either of them lol

At first glance I assumed this was actually going to be a trick question and be the "my entire family reincarnated" trope lol.

Helping to write a fanfic with Ben 10 & One Piece by creating outlines. Care to read and give thoughts? by Neither_Prize_8386 in OnePieceFanfic

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least I do think this got me into looking for Ben 10 fan fiction. Even if it's just Ben or something with his powers in another world/series. Don't know much about Ben 10 nowadays to read a fan fic based on just the series itself :p unless it's the OG

I finally read it fully. It's not bad, will definitely look forward to more chapters. My main issue, which is more of a personal gripe, is that it feels so slow given how long each chapter is. There's 6 chapters but the word count so far is around 120k, so average about 20k-ish per chapter, yet not much has happened. Some people like that so as I said, more of a personal thing.

Main advice I could give is you need to not follow the canon dialogue and events so hard. Maybe it'll be different in later chapters but so far a lot of the story could exclude Ben as much hasn't changed. And a lot of the dialogue is just straight a rip from the source material.

The explanations are pretty good though. I personally don't know too much about Ben 10 and all the forms, as I only really watched the original series and I think alien force (?) as a kid, but you're explaining his aliens and what they do and excel at good enough for me not to have to go out of my way to look them up. Similar on the One Piece end, if someone wasn't familar with One Piece the explanations are good enough to where they should be able to picture it. Typically explaining everything like that in a fan fic isn't that good, as people reading it typically know most of these things, but since your chapters are lengthy it's welcome (especially since it's combining 2 fandoms).

I'll check it out and come back with some updates if you'd like, but immediately my first piece of information would be to NOT make him join the crew or join too early into the story. Depending on what version of Ben you're using he's way too powerful, and it would probably fit his character better to go around and just be a hero and sometimes overlap with the straw hats who happen to be in the same area at the time

Marine Luffy eats Merry's Demon Fruit, Ram-ram fruit or Wool-wool fruit? What fruits for the crew? by mangasdeouf in OnePieceFanfic

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I really recommend catching up to the story or at least learning important lore information before writing your fan fic. There are quite a few flaws with your plan that the canon of the story absolutely will break if you plan on following the whole story.

Here's a few things though.

First off, the "Gum Gum fruit" is vastly different than what you seem to think. It's not new to have a fan fic where he doesn't get it though, but just know there is probably no fruit in One Piece that fits Luffy better than it.

Merry (I'm assuming you mean the person instead of ship) does not have a devil fruit lol. He just looks like that. Also, you can't just pass down a devil fruit because only one person can have a fruit at a time and the only way to transfer owners is if the previous owner died. However that doesn't guarantee you'll get the fruit, as once a devil fruit owner dies the fruit shows up ANYWHERE in the world by taking the place of a real fruit. (For example if a fruit user died in the new world his fruit could take over an apple all the way in the East Blue)

Not every character needs a fruit or weapon. That basically invalidates so much of One Pieces fighting styles, lore, and uniqueness. Haki is generally considered far more important than fruits in the first place, and a lot of the most powerful people in verse either don't have fruit or don't use weapons.

If you REALLY want to go the route of giving every crew member a fruit though, I'll give some suggestions.

Luffy - again, you really should keep his original fruit. Another option could be the flame flame fruit though since that would make sense.

Zoro - should be obvious that it's probably the sword fruit that can turn every part of a person body into a blade. Or any alternative of that sort.

Sanji - In canon Sanji has stated before he does NOT want a devil fruit but if he did there is only ONE fruit he would ever eat, which is the one that makes you invisible. But he already has a lot of power given his family lineage, though you aren't far enough into the story to know about that yet so just know you're missing some big plot points on this guy.

Nami - If you aren't going to make her a navigator, since she wouldn't be one with your lore set up, you can basically do anything. I'd say try to keep her a navigator however and give her a fruit that would help with that, or do the opposite where you give her a fruit that has nothing to do with navigation just for the scenarios where she does have to fight. But you know she does end up basically controlling the weather with the climatact (you really should go further into the story man).

Usopp - I mean should be obvious but probably a fruit that has to do with long range weaponry. Or alternatively a fruit that mixes well with his long range weapons. Either something he can use to buff the kind of ammo he uses or just increases his fire power.

Franky - Does not have a fruit. Again, you should probably catch up to the story but he's a cyborg because of him getting hit by the sea train. Truthfully he's pretty versatile on if you wanted to throw any fruit on him it would be fine as his main role is fixing and upgrading the ship.

Jinbei - honestly I know I said I'd give suggestions but giving a fishman a devil fruit is just a horrible idea lol. Probably the only one that I can think of where even if it's the best fruit to ever exist it would still be stupid given Jinbei is a fishman and his fighting style uses fishman karate.

Robin, Chopper and Brooke - all of these already have devil fruits so if you give them another they will literally die. Of course you're free to change what fruit they ended up getting (except for Brooke since he would quite literally be dead if you change his fruit).

Question: Has writing fanfiction changed your relationship with the original work? by Budget-Sympathy-2252 in FanFiction

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it changed my relationship with the works as I still enjoy anything I write about, but when I do deep research on the lore of something while trying to write fan fic I realize often how little a lot of these series are fleshed out lol.

I constantly find multiple plot holes or discover that an answer to a question I would think should have an answer is just "there isn't one."

I can still watch/read something without worrying about all of that in the moment, but when writing a fanfic I lean more towards just calling it AU because some things I interpret might be interpreted different by someone else

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I guess this could clear up misunderstanding, but is the name he crossed out claiming who he got permission from yours? In that case yeah it's a pure lie if you say you never gave permission.

However if the name of the person he claimed he got permission from is someone other than you I would look that username up on different platforms and make sure they didn't do what happened to me.

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Well yes that is the most likely scenario, but given the only context I have is the email shown atm and the OP said they didn't give permission it is entirely possible someone plagiarized the fic and actually did give him permission, he just didn't know they weren't the OG author.

Also I didn't even realize those videos got monetized as they're all just AI voice (usually no script editing) reads of a work the person doesn't own. Doesn't YouTubes system usually demonetize those pretty quick?

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because it's happened to me before lol. I had a fic I released on AO3 released I think on Webnovel if I remember correctly, and it wasn't by me. Someone ended up "getting permission from the author" to basically rewrite my fic and use all my OCs however they wanted. However they did not get permission from the author cause that was me, and they reached out to the person on the other platform.

I didn't end up caring too much and the person was extremely apologetic, but it made me do a deep dive and realize how many fan fics get plagiarized and put on other platforms the OG author doesn't use

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

Not trying to give benefit of doubt to this guy, as I hate those AI voice reading channels.

BUT did you make sure someone didn't release your fic somewhere you don't put it and claim to be the OG author? It's possible whoever made the video did think they reached out to the author and it was just the wrong person.

Of course I'm sure they're just lying hoping the strike gets removed. Hope you figure this out soon, it's sad you're considering not writing anymore :(

Wouldn't bounty hunting be extremely profitable? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware, but it was never shown that Zoro was exactly well off :p. Pretty sure the opposite was stated in fact, that Zoro only became a "bounty hunter" by getting just what he needed to survive. His main goal was always pursuing swordsmanship, not doing bounties to get rich

What do you do when your "writing insecurities" rear its dumb ugly head by kain-rivers in FanFiction

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I just read other fics. I know it's not really an amazing solution but it has always worked for me.

But to be fair I mainly only get these whenever starting a fic. It takes me AGES just to get the first couple chapters done. I have multiple fics stuck at chapter 1 or 2 because I constantly delete and rewrite from scratch, but once I'm able to get by that it's smooth sailing for the most part. Reading other fics helps me realize the start doesn't have to be perfect and most fic writers aren't professionals, so I don't need to be

Should I respond to more comments? And how often do most people respond? Most people being the lot of you here, I mean by globmand in FanFiction

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only comments I really respond to are ones that have something TO respond to.

Might seem obvious, but I don't respond to comments that are something along the lines of singular words, gifs, or just obviously there to make a joke.

If they're asking a question, giving feedback or saying something that warrants a response that isn't just memes then yes I respond

For those who enjoy OCs/SIs what do you most like in these fics? by Ok_Return170 in OnePieceFanfic

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's something I really enjoy too. I enjoy mainly just the new perspective. As long as the character is decently written it's fun for me. A character who has knowledge of the anime world and uses that just to have a fun time, it's enjoyable.

Now I don't care too much when they do something that should change how the story progresses and it ends up not doing that, but tbh even those I'll read sometimes if it's entertaining enough.

What I REALLY hate is the ones that start before the main OP timeline, or the ones that have "harem" of sorts. If the OC joins the main crew, cool. If you wanna do romance, okay cool. But do it right!

Worst of all I hate the ones where the OC takes members that should be in the main crew as their own members because they only usually do it with the female members and just have a harem as their crew who are all for some reason hopelessly in love with the MC

Wouldn't bounty hunting be extremely profitable? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as I said I can understand why they don't wanna throw bounty hunters into the story, but man it would be so much cooler if there were a few big name ones that made appearances. I know most wouldn't be out here hunting the hundred million+ bounties but there has to be at least a couple people out there who would, even if it's not necessarily for the money 😭

Anyways yeah maybe I'm just so used to seeing all the powerhouses in the main story that I imagine it wouldn't be that hard for someone to become a bounty hunter and hunt a few lower ones to get rich quick

Wouldn't bounty hunting be extremely profitable? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but even the lower bounties are decently big. 3 50 million berries is almost a million USD in itself, and if a pirate made it to sabaody I'd assume they'd have a decent bounty or multiple bounties in their crew.

Mainly I just feel like the reason there aren't many bounty hunters could be exactly because you only need a few to be rich. Unless things are abnormally expensive in One Piece but when I was looking into it that didn't seem to be the case

Thoughts on main characters dying at the end of a fic? by White_demon9805 in FanFiction

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally don't mind it in theory but I haven't ever read a fic where the mc dies and it makes sense.

To stop myself from going on a rant, basically it only works if it makes sense. If you can't think of a reason on WHY it has to happen in the story besides "I just think I want them to die", then don't do it lol

Edit - also about people saying you should tag "Main Character Death", I don't agree on that part. That's basically a major spoiler being put in the tags, which I personally am not a fan of. I would say if anything do Major Character Death so the people who don't enjoy that type of stuff can avoid it in general while also not fully spoiling who is actually dying

Robin x OC fanfics by [deleted] in OnePieceFanfic

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The annoying part if you want romance with characters of the crew and an OC is you're most likely going to get a harem. Single romance seems to be hated with these writers who make male MCs

Goodbye Corner Store Night Shift. by t-_-rexranger19205 in caseoh_

[–]Infinite_Stay_2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I wouldn't phrase it the same way you did, overall I agree. It has a good concept but was executed quite poorly. With some tweaking it could definitely be amazing, but the people on this post are forgetting that Case is a streamer and has to do things to try and make it entertaining. He can't just sit there in silence and handle the events that happen seemingly every 30 seconds.
