Damn, woman, your posts rival Shinneth's in length. :o

Writing for other people's characters. That's, for exmaple, writing a fic with no major OCs in it. Only writing for the canon characters. It may be wrong to compare this to fanart but it is NOT GOOD to keep that up for very long or your talents and your creativity will suffer from it. I know first hand.

Surely for every noob that writes a cliche fic without looking at what others have done, is a noob that's written a cliche fic because they've seen they're so common, and thought that because of this, the practice is acceptable. (Excuse the comma horde) Plus you can't start out doing something like this perfectly, you make mistakes, it just means people need to help the bad writers. Constructive criticism.

Sorry about derailing the thread, but I don't think there's much more to say about this anyway. :D

Actually, truth betold, I know this from pure hearted EXPERIENCE. And what a dark, dark time to remember that that is... I used to be a Mary-Sue writer, or believer, way back when (AAAGGHHH, pains my brain!). I created little stories in my head for almost every book or television show I liked, and boooyyyy were they MSs! This was since I was, what, 6? To down when I was 12?

I thought of Beyblade cliches before I even knew beyblade fanfics existed. I had thoughts of OCs, and they were scarily similar to many evil OCs out there today. I have shot them from my mind with a machine-gun, then promptly burned their remains into black cinder, which I... put in a bottle and sent to space...

But while those evil fanfics can be made by people who saw it somewhere else, most people that write fanfics like that (it's a long-winded romance for the most part after all) wouldn't steal the idea from other people, that's what little kids do ._.'.

Ummm... more to say, but little time... ja,

...

Why did all this talk of OCs start. This is a topic about the actual powers in the show, not what twelve year olds are known to write Beyblade fanfictions about... most of us don't like reading mary sue fics anyway.

I think we actually have a thread about Mary-Sues and OC's in the Fan Work section. Take the discussion there people.

Here we go

Another power example would be Dragoon helping Tyson to run faster in that one V Force episode... pretty much the only thing I can remember from that season... XD

To Kuznetsov:
I spelled your name right, correct? Sorry I got it wrong before(apparently)...

Anyway, I know that most people don't like reading MS's that's rather obvious. But it isn't all 12-year-olds writing MS's, there's plenty of older people, just to make a small point...

And thanks for bringing us back on-topic...?

To Zii:
Took me forever to get back to this, I had to hunt for it to find this thread again... Anyway, thanks for the link, and I'll add on to your comment.


A lot of 'powers' can be taken from V-Force, or you can find a way to derive certain powers that aren't exaclty official from V-Force(and the other seasons). I'm trying to remember... was it Takao's and the BladeBreaker's andrenaline that those scientists were always measuring? Well, I'm no scientist, far from it, but I watched a movie where this guy killed someone buy putting a needle in them that made their... andrenaline shoot up too high too fast and then make her die... but I don't have good memory, so it might have been something else...

And Takao was able to outrun a car, that's kind of weird, right? Remember, when Takao was running around to help Kyouju and Hiromi, those doctors did that to... test him I believe. Gah, fuzzy memory is not cool. Sooo... if you're creative, you can try to use that to your advantage.

Also, in G-Rev, the battle with Takao v. Kai... there was a part where they were 'thinking'(not talking...) about how when they were beyblading it was almost as if they were reading each other's mind... don't outdo this with something like an OC being able to read people's minds all the time normally, and nobody can... that's way too close to Mary-Sue without a realistic reason...

And then there's how Kai was able to split a gigantic rock in two... how'd he get that kind of power? I have lots of theories on beyblading, with bit-beasts, might have something to do with channeling and emphasizing power... I believe it has to do with mind and something spiritual, along with a body tough enough to be able to take the strain...

And other such things... such as how Hiromi at first couldn't see the bit-beasts? Well, she finally did... and many other people can see them too, but what about the people with the bit-beasts already? Maybe they can see something even more then normal people... maybe... like a sort of spiritual eye or something.

And then... not entirely sure about this, I've only heard stuff and read fics, but is it true Suzaku gave up her life for Kai's...? I read an awesome fic based on the after-effects of the battle, but was unable to watch the battle myself (T_T). Well, if it's true, then duh. Channeling life energy might be something. Kai might have been able to channel his life energy into his beyblade(or bitbeast) and vice versa with Suzaku into Kai.

And there's also the thing with Kuro Suzaku and Zeus. Kuro Suzaku can apparently take control of other bit-beasts and all that, maybe a type of manipulation...? I won't expand on this because Kuro Suzaku is a rather specific bit-beast. Same with Zeus, though you can come up qith some nifty conclusions with the whole thing with Kai seeming as if he's drowning in darkness in his first battle against him...

There also seems to be this strange habit of very large beybattles breaking into another sort of dimension... :mellow: ... Yuri v. Takao, Kai v. Takao, Brooklyn v. Takao... hmmm... and they all seemed to come from different situations.

Yuri v. Takao came apparently because of... I dunno' actually. I never got to watch the whole last ep (WAH!)... but I believe Yuri caused it, and I think it was because of... a large amount of power... whether it was intentional or not, it seemed to go with Yuri's favor...

Kai v. Takao... that seemed to come from a mutual feeling of... possibly pure passion for their sport... or... because of the pure power, again... or maybe a recluse, or someplace in their own mind... or something else altogether. Possibly something celestrial(sp?).

Brooklyn v. Takao... That was from Brooklyn, that was all Brooklyn. That came from Brooklyn's mind when it seemed as if he was kinda' being posessed or something(I didn't watch this battle either.... *sigh* I feel depressed...), and it also came from Zeus' pure power. It was a dark power, but maybe it didn't have to do with Zeus being evil... also, Zeus is (I think) a natural bit-beast, unlike Kuro Suzaku... etc. etc. etc.. I don't wanna' ponder it all day when I know next to nothing about it, so much of the info. on Zeus I just don't have...

Hmmm... I could keep on pondering but... I don't wanna...

Ja ne, I hope this helps with ideas, if nothing else,
Ali
