Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

  3. Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.

    Oh man, I read Shaman King through Shonen Jump when I was like ten.

    There's two things that a setting needs to have to make it a big source of fanfiction.

    1. Popularity.
    2. Enough mistakes for amateur writers to say "I can do this better". That doesn't necessarily mean they CAN, just that they think they can and will try.

    So whatever Shaman King was lacking of those two things is why its lacking in fanfiction.

    As an addendum to Cambrian's second point, there should be enough of a magic system to inspire the imagination, but enough unexplained aspects of it to allow for freedom. Shaman King's magic system is pretty simplistic and complete, so finding ways to exploit it are more difficult.

    As soon as someone writes a sufficiently juicy crossover, others will follow. Like with that one Fate/Campione cross spawning a Lot of copycats. Or Hill of swords starting the ZnT crosses.

    The setting actually allows for nearly any crossover.
