Bleach Novelization thread

[secretzfan]

This is getting rather intriguing

The fact that this is NOT, in fact, a fanfiction, which you have tried repeatedly to refute, as well as the fact that I am not plagiarizing; which you have also tried to refute. So yes, you are aware of points I have made; you simply have not refuted them and wish to question the simplest and ridiculous of things as to avoid actually refuting me.
Response?

Humor is subjective. I was merely expressing MY personal amusement with it.
I said nothing about whether YOU thought it was funny (that being SLIGHTLY obvious). And why are you making a big deal about it in the first place?

Response?

Ehm? Whatever you say; what you do is against the law. If you really want to do something about it, talk to Kubo and ask his permisson! If he says yes; its all cool. If not, well too bad.


Fanfiction is one thing, this is just Bleach in another form...:P I understand that you want to be creative, and its a fun idea;but it it isnt allowed. Fanfiction in itself is suspiscious enough.

If that's the case, then my entire point of view could be rhetorical just to make you debate with me for no reason.

No?
The line between a novelization and fanfiction will be walked carefully
and
yes; it has elements of "Fan-fiction" in it, but that does not make it a fanfiction


You must refute that last point to start with, Gin; so far, you have not done that.

b)The line goes away when you start filling in plot holes, as soon as you do that, it becomes fanfiction.

Sure it is.
And...Um...no? Prove it. THAT'S what I've been waiting for, gin; while you've been smart-mouthing and giving us links to being rikrolled.

Since you can't seem to refute my argument, I guess you are admitting, that you are in fact writing a fanfiction?

You are blinded by your self-righteousness; obviously, I have made a very clear case, and you have not yet refuted it; except by repeating the fact that it IS, in fact, fanfiction. You are just making declarative statements; whereas I am at least supporting my views.
I've made many of your comments...disappear. You'll say something; I'll destroy it. you cut your losses and shut your mouth. It's only a matter of time, Teacher, until the same thing happens. Does "plagiarism vs copyright", "sense of humor", "Tite Kubo getting credit" and "lists", ring a bell?
You could pass it off as being a smart mouth, but then you were just making a fool of yourself and wasting your own time.

@ Maewie
Having a Bleach avatar is against the law. Writing fanfiction IS AGAINST THE LAW.
SELLING my book would be "against the law". Doing ANYTHING with someone Else's work is "against the law". It's only when you sell the stuff that there's a real issue.

[maewie]

@Anubis62: You were the one talking about publishing...:P I still think you should talk to Kubo though.

Remember..we live in a material world

[Gin]

When you add your own element to the story, it becomes fanfiction, that is a fact. You have yet to refute that, except by saying, "No its not"
When you fill in a plot hole its a fan adding fiction to the story, making it a fanfiction. Please improve your argument past just saying that its not fanfiction, you're being childish. You aren't making my points disappear, I'm just not continuing trolls I started in an effort to actually have a discussion with you, but if you want I can just go back to trolling and kill this thread. I'm not wasting my time, I'm wasting yours, thats the point of this.

Again, your own words:

What do you think 'rehashed Bleach' is?
And again, I've said THIS:

In the end, it really does not matter what you wish to call it; only what you consider the content to be.
Sure, I'll judge a book's cover; but what's in between those covers is what really matters.
The purpose of the novelization is, always was, and always will be, to make Bleach better for us who see all those plotholes. Or, at least, to see how Bleach could be if it was better.

TBH, I don't really care what you want to call it. I'm simply defending my case for not selling it as a Fanfiction; because once you start selling it as one, it becomes one.
The 'Death Note BB Murder Cases' was a novelization, as well as fiction made by a "fan". Yet it is genuine canon. That is what I'm comparing my work to.

And THAT'S not childish? At least I'm attempting to carry on a reasonable discussion; not being a malicious hypocrite. Teachers are meant to cure ignorance; not spread it via their actions.
EDIT: and if Trolling kills a conversation/thread, how can you defend doing it previously in an attempt to "carry on a reasonable discussion"??

No I wasn't. What I said was that I'm NOT planning on publishing it.
And what is that whole thing about a material world? Is that implying that I need reminding of an object's solidity?
This thing is ON PAR with fanfiction at the present moment. Irregardless of what I/you/Gin calls it, it needs no more permission than anything else.
Sure, I might send a letter to TK just for kicks (or perhaps a serious investment), but that's a whole different story.

Writing fanfiction IS AGAINST THE LAW

Not it isn't, because it is done by a fan base writing it isn't against law publishing it without permission from the originator and making money on it is

[Alchemist007]

I suggest the publishing route if you want any form of credibility for this being a 'novelization' otherwise it is indeed just going to stay a fanfiction despite what you want to label it.

[secretzfan]

I hope it gets published that will make it defiantly a novel

[Anubis62]

I'm always honest about that which I know/believe to be fact. You yourself can attest to that.
I simply think that it is in the motivations/means that label something as a fanfiction. Fanfiction is for the fun of it. My novelization is for a serious cause. Yes, I have fun with it, but that's just a logical thing to do.
To me, it is not a Fanfiction. It doesn't matter to me if you put it in the "Fanfiction" folder in your bookmarks (if at all), I simply refuse to sell it as one. If you think there is something wrong with that, then I'm afraid I can't help you there. As for other people, if they are smart and can make decisions for themselves, then they can decide on their own if this is fanfiction or not. Fanfiction really depends on how you look at the story.
And have you actually read it? Because if not, I would appreciate it if you refrained from calling it an atrocity.

Same goes for you. "...despite what you want to label it." is pretty much what I'm defending here.

No; it goes against my very philosophy of life, I'm afraid. :/
But to each his own, I suppose.

It's not about you being our Teacher, it's about you being a teacher.

A Teacher should not be a profession, but a vocation. If you believe otherwise, then how can any "students" take you seriously on the job? Teaching is more than placing facts into heads, it's dispelling ignorance...a very serious and necessary task. But it's a bit off topic at the moment, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt at this point in time.

Off topic
I you wondered why I never pictured you as a teacher I still can't now especially a ELA one that shocked me on all levels, but then most people show I different personality online

Getting back on topic
Also regarding what Gin said earlier on fanfiction being illegal. If that was true Fan fiction. net is illegal and all those fan fics read online would be more limited but there not. Fan fiction would be truly illegal when it is used to get money without the originators consent

[Anubis62]

Here it is: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&p...thkey=CIqbrrcN

1.) If the link does not work, or you are having any other problems, please let me know and I will try to fix it.

2.) If no one has any suggestions regarding the actual content, then I will begin writing the second chapter.

[secretzfan]

You know I was going to write something like that one time it was were I had a casting role set up., but I stopped it

[monir]

Good start there! You could probably do footnotes to give meanings to any specialized term to bridge the language gap such as "shinigami" "hollow" etc. which would let you have a bit more freedom at presenting your story rather than worrying about your readers' not knowing a term. If they are really bothered by a term, they can always look it up in the footnotes. On that note, get rid of the parenthesis in the Synopsis. You can also make it a little bit more interesting where a potential reader would want to show curiosity to the story you were about take them through.

And don't worry about those mouthful words such as copyright infringement/plagiarism at this stage. As long as you are stating the original work belongs to Kubo Tite's Bleach some where in your novel, you should be fine, well.... unless you have miraculously made boat load of money from this. Until then, I think Kubo has more worries about people who are reading his manga without paying a cent to him, thanks to the power of internet.

Cheers!

Thank you!
Finally, some criticism with depth to it.

1.) I do have footnotes.

2.) The synopsis is taken directly from the original series; I want to make this as accurate to the story as possible, so I used the original synopsis; just cleaned up a bit. 'Hollow; is a series-specific term, really; and Rukia pretty much sums it up for us.

3.) I'm not quite sure how to make it more 'interesting'...
Is my writing really that droll?
I suppose I could research some more writing techniques. xD

thanks again for taking the time to help.

[Anubis62]

Bump?
Come on, guys; I don't want the credit for all of this, otherwise it will all be wasted time. I need input from smart Bleach Fans.
