DRAGONBALL Z
I love it. It's action, it's drama, it's comedy, it's romance, all the good stuff in one show. It just works. I love the manga, I love the anime, I could watch it over and over again. My guilty pleasure, along with "Doctor Who." I remember hearing Chris Sabat (who voices Piccolo and Vegeta, along with being the voice director for the show) in an interview referring to DBZ as 'animated crack.' He's so right. And in retrospect, I find it hilarious that when I was first introduced to the show about five years ago, my reaction at the time was, 'My God, this show is ridiculous.'
The weird thing is, once I started watching it, I couldn't stop. I simply plowed through the entire show as fast as I could. Then I realized that there were huge gaps in the storyline that could lend themselves really well to writing.
So, I used them. And with that, my first fan fiction ever was born... along with a juggernaut that I could never have predicted in my wildest dreams.
When word first got around the Internet that an American author was attempting to write a Dragonball Z novel, the response was immediate, not to mention intense. The fans divided into two camps - those who loved the idea, and others who considered it sacrilege. The book AND THE GREATEST OF THESE was soon being discussed on forums, websites, blogs, you name it. And for a site that exists on word of mouth alone, the ANDTHEGREATESTOFTHESE.COM site gets a remarkable amount of traffic.
Then I put a rough draft of the book up on the FanFiction.net site, and things really got wild. As cut-throat competitive as fan fiction writing can get, the outpouring of well-wishes and cheering on made the whole thing worth it.
