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.

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!

That's the secret

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.

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.

It's always odd to see them wearing clothes that cover them. But very nice!

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

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 liked your writing very much.

Inspiration is a great thing to fuel your writing. It doesn't matter where it goes or if anyone ever sees it. Write for yourself and share what you want.

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.

The title is blank. But, hell9.

I added my Orange Town arch today. Working on revising the rest of the East Blue volumes

It's the OS license that's the main problem.
