Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I'm thinking about writing a story... It's set in a multiverse... and no it is not a Kingdom Hearts ripoff... not quite anyway. XD

The premise is that a time travel disaster almost destroyed all of existence. The Entity that maintains the multiverse reconstructed it from available data as well as the various ideas, mythologies, and forms of entertainment people had, among other things. Thus making allowances for fan fiction-like stories.

But the disaster crippled it, and 8 pieces of it's power were lost. They bonded with 8 people in different dimensions granting them near godlike power. While that power is primarily for maintaining order and balance, it can be misused.

But when two Power users fight, the attacks seem to cancel each other out... but that power has to go somewhere...

I'm planning on having the material included be practically everything from cute little kittens to obnoxious jokes about 9/11 (a.k.a. the 2001 World Trade Center bombings). The idea being "Everything is okay to include, or nothing is". You know, like how Family Guy and South Park will make a joke or comment about pretty much anything without any shame?

I would prefer having it done in comic form. I don't like having to describe everything. Beisdes, what's more important? Your vision or the creator's vision?

But I can't find an artist. D:

Grr... I got called a godmodder when all I did was make a character whose abilities were sampled off of other characters I liked.

But being truly creative in this day and age is impossible. The best you can do is take the ideas you like and dress them up or change them just enough to be your own.

How could I possibly disguise a Time Lord's regeneration ability... that ability seemed to tick people off even though the series the characters I was supposedly interacting with came from had 2 immortals.

Besides, I love making pop culture references and/or being a giant pop culture reference in my works.

What about all the Confederate soldiers who died for that flag? Sure, they didn't die for the best of reasons, but they died supporting something they believed in, wrong though they may have been, and trying to preserve their way of life. We shouldn't stop honoring their deaths to honor other deaths. America is supposed to be unbiased. Georgia shouldn't have to hide or be ashamed of its history just because they lost the war. The flag wasn't originally designed as a symbol of slavery. It was designed as symbol of Georgia. Should we change the American flag because we were flying it when American troops killed Indians?

Then just don't use the regeneration ability. Try something less severe, like an ability to heal quickly, but not come back from the dead. If they're choosing to powerplay by making their characters immortal, you should call them out on it. Make sure you add flaws to your character's personality, like a phobia or a chronic illness that can't be healed away. Give the character's personality more than one dimension. Things like that help build a character better.

Pop culture references are usually only accepted (generally) in parodies or things that are intended to be funny. If your character is "just like (somebody), except.." then they might be in danger of becoming a Mary Sue/Gary Stu. I'm not saying they can't be fixed (I have accidentally unleashed many a Mary Sue in my day), but if you don't recognize the problem, it's liable to get worse.

Try this, if you're still having trouble. It really helped me a lot, and it still helps me from time to time.

Then on what grounds were you called a godmoder?

Well, having the ability to regenerate is not technically immortality. Time Lords can still die. If they want to regenerate while at the verge of death, they only do so if they have the will power and want to do so. And, even after regeneration, they are left in a vulnerable state for some hour after the change.
