That’s part of the reason I wrote mine with mostly original or remixed characters, so I could explore things Oda didn’t while still playing in his world. There’s a tremendous freedom and responsibility in fanfiction if you’re trying to honor the original. If not for my kid acting as a sounding board, I would have quit long ago.
I just published to AO3. I put up about a dozen chapters because the format is better if you upload the story arcs together. No feedback yet, but my kid likes it, which is great
It’s much easier to write your own version of a copyrighted material than to creatively write on your own. My work is fanfiction based on someone else’s ideas. Yours is all you and I envy that.
That’s the secret
My tiny phone
I’m going to have my wife ask around. I don’t do social media, but there’s bound to be someone with a used laptop I can buy. Good idea!
It’s what if style recreation of the entire East Blue arc of the Anime/Manga centered around original and remixed characters. It’s involved a lot of creative content that I workshop with my kid after practice. It’s really helped us to bond. Now, without the means to write down our ideas, it’s difficult to keep the momentum going.
It’s the OS license that’s the main problem.
I know I’m summoning a horde, but even a new HDD needs an OS and I’m not a Linux person. Not sure I can find the license for Windows 10, because this old brick won’t take 11.
Oh, that stinks. I’d love to be able to publish it somewhere I can get genuine feedback. I’m honing my writing skills again in preparation to pick up an old novel I wrote years ago.
