"Step Four: Infuse your fic with Japanese" - This has always made me want to scream!

"Step Ten: Make sure all characters are out of character!:'"PICCY! FREEZY!" Vegita yelled,...'&'Bling,Bling'" - OMG With this lines, you officially now owe me a new keyboard! :P LOL

Couldn't stop giggling!

Ha ha... I seriously couldn't stop laughing throughout this whole thing. ( fabulous word choice I know) I do disagree on one thing, not all stories written on fanfiction are that bad. The whole point of reading these is to escape into a fantasy world that doesn't exist, and who wouldn't want mush in their fantasy world? Anyways I really liked this "thing" nice job! :)

COOL.

Wow! This totally cracked me up! Nice going! I totally agree with all these steps. I have noticed that I used to do a few of these things, but for the most part, I have always done my best to steer away from them. Thanks for such an entertaining read. _ Peace and Out! ~mar

Naughty... naughty! I guess I'm guilty of a few of the no-no's listed here, but then - if I were getting paid for my writing- I wouldn't have the pleasure of irritating jokesters like you. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Author notes either, specially ones that drone on and on (and on!) about feedbacks left by other reviewers. It's distracting. 'Step Seven: Add in mandatory "Saiyan ritual"' was my pick of the litter. You certainly know what you're talking about and the number of reviews you've received show how bang-on your observations really are. Nicely done and thanks for sharing.

(. . . I'll try to be more careful from now on . . . Heh.)

Thank you for the great time :)

This is so true!

My favourite line was

"nice watch"

"bling bling"

Omfg that was hilarious!But good story hope you get over 9000 reviews!

Funny cause it's true

Ha

Very funny. We've all been there...

I'm definitely guilty of writing a author's note at the beginning. And of step 4. (bows head in shame) But I can explain, I think.

See I only use Okaasan, otousan, or oniisan. The children only say that to the adults; by the way, there's only two that say this. Vegeta calls others baka every once in a while. And rarely says onna. Besides that, it isn't that bad to use that is it? And if so, then why in the hell didn't someone flame me for this so I don't do irritate them?

Other than that, I couldn't help but to laugh! Especially at step 10. And Piccolo says, "bling, bling." Wtf! Laughed my fucking ass off at that. And I agree with you on most of these steps. I hate when things get too, too mushy. And I really can't stand when people americanize a story. Anime Japanese, so why in the hell would Gohan, or Goku wear a damn G-Unit outfit. (Yes, I have actually began, didn't finish, to read something like this *shivers* bad memories) Thanks for the laugh. You deserve to reach that 579 reviews. Hope I helped, you helped me.

Freaking brilliant!

Every single DBZ author (or anime authors in general) should read this.

Thanks for writing this!

That was amazing. And all true ! Alot of people do this

Step 8: really who cares about what every one is waring.. And its wors if its a oc character

Step 9:that was so funny.. Vegeta telling bulma how much he loves her with every one there to hear. Yeah like that's gonna happen any time soon

Step 10: so very funny. Alot of people do this too and its depprrsing..

I hope everyone reads this before writing a fic

That was epic! X3

I don't think any other word could describe it. And it's true.

It had me rolling with laughter.

You forgot to mention the 'dialog' only fics, where they express reactions with o and w or 'chatspeek'

Haha halarious :)

I just loved this. This totally summed up what people create out of fanfiction has turned into-hopes and dreams of lovesick teenage fangirls who think that if their stories are just annoying enough, Akira Toryiama will suddenly say (in japanese) "Hey! These ideas are really hot sh*t! I think I'll put them in my already freakishly awesome show to degrade it from an anime that everyone can enjoy to a squeal-fest for fangirls! This is my greatest idea yet!"

Mm-hm. Yeah. Sure.
