Seraphim's First (And probably craptacular) Fic Idea

For submitting and talking about story ideas. Idea submissions must be at least five paragraphs long, and include plot points, summaries of which characters are involved, and, for fanfiction, how it differs from canon. Both original and fanfiction ideas welcome. Though original works should have more development. Replying posts must give actual commentary, no "GREAT IDEA" or "THIS SUCKS".

And that's not even mentioning Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Shanks and the other two Yonkou or even Gecko Moria IIRC. :shock:

Okay. Well, like I said, I don't know the manga Senshi very well. I was just going on what you said about them being "so strong that they blow through the higher level people without batting an eyelash, which their end-of-series Senshi forms are, even without training."

Urk. :oops:

Well, when I wrote that, I was thinking all of the Senshi working together. But in the story it'll only, Usagi and the Inners'.

And exaggerating abit. Sorry. :oops:

No prob. I've certainly been known to engage in a bit of hyperbole myself on a subject I felt passionate about. :D

Anyway, to correct/expand on my earlier point a bit, regardless of the power levels you choose, the key things are respect for the characters, and the significance of the characters' actions.

As long as both sets of characters are significant--as long as neither overshadows the other, as long as there are parts that each couldn't have done without the other, where the audience can say "Wow, that was cool! Wow, that was necessary! Luffy/Usagi would have been toast if Luffy/Usagi hadn't done that!"--you should be okay.

The trick with power levels is merely that too-great disparaties make the above tricky to pull off in a truly convincing fashion. But it can be done, even in such cases.

Thank you for the help, you've made think harder about this, which is a good thing. :lol:
