The Uber Long Extra Special Authors Note Before The Story Even Begins Extravaganza
Okay so before this story starts I feel like I need to get a few things straightened out about the way that I write or am going to write this OFC into the story of Dragonball Z directly. After all, no one likes a Mary Sue (is the twist to her new? No, is the way I handle it new? I think so) and as a person who has been writing in fandom for over seven years you would think that I would know not to write or post this on for fear of being totally and utterly picked apart by the OFC haters. Am I right?
Of course I am!
However Gin's story is something that I feel personally needs to be told. I have been living with her story inside my head for quite some time now and to put it bluntly? It's driving me insane. She's driving me insane. So if I do not get her out on paper or show her off to the world, I will go insane. Her story in many ways is tragic although she may not see it that way. So here is where I make my plea with you as a fanfiction author and as writer.
I have rules (OMG NO NOT THOSE!) for all of my OFC. While sometimes for character development sake I forgo the rules I mostly try to keep to them so that other characters that are native to the series don't get sandbagged to show that my character is the greatest character EVA!!! (note the large amount of sarcasm here) So here are the rules that I try to follow:
If something in canon needs to happen to further the plot of the next canon or part of the story it will not be changed.
For example: If a person needs to die… they die. She will not save them in any manor of heroics nor will any other character save the dying person because she gave them the most awesome aw inspired pep talk ever. Just… No. I don't do that, so if you are expecting Vegeta to live at some point or her to save the planet… um… wrong story do not pass go or collect 100 dollars
This also means that couples will not be split up until after that couple has served it's purpose ie: having all the kids that the show said that they were going to have or doing something in a future series that needs being done ie: 18 getting pissed that Krillin dies.
The only time I forgo this rule is if it becomes absolutely crucial that it be changed… or in the case of one saga… it is so sucktastic and filler that I feel like I can change it with out there being any major issues to the series, in this story there are I think two plots that change TWO which is a whole lot less than I can say for some Sue stories.
There will be no romance unless a couple is split up by the show or something happens after the show that is up to my descression.
What does this mean? This means that up until the end of the series all couples that exist up to that point are safe. This does not mean that I will forgo a one-sided romance however. It happens in real life so why not in story?
No OFC is immortal
This means that there will be death of the OFC as I see fit Rejoice! If you hate her you get to see her die!
Finally If you read this and would like to continue to read yay!
If you read this and are like: OMG FANGIRL BRAT TRYING TO DEFEND HERSELF
THEN GTFO.
Seriously
GTFO why are you even reading this?
And if you didn't read this and read the story any way?
HOMG I LOVE YOU
Also as a side note?
EVEN I HATE HER WHEN SHE'S YOUNG
I HATE GIN LIKE BURNING.
With that out of the way let's carry on to the story!
