Unlikely Romance - A DBZ FanFic by Eric Jacobson
About The Author, Eric Jacobson

Eric Jacobson. That's me. There's alot to say, but not much space to do it, so I'll make it as short as I can without skipping anything important, OK? Cool. And as soon as I get a decent, recent picture of me, I'll put it here as well.

Anyway, I started writing when I was in the 8th grade in High School. I was bored in my Civics class (a subject I already knew tons about thanks to the Internet), so I got out my pencil, pulled a spare notebook out of my backpack, thought for a few minutes, and started writing.

I found that stories, while they seem daunting to any author just starting out, came rather easily to me. Once I began writing, the words just seemed to flow from my mind. I discovered that my writing style was more of an "on the fly" kind of thing, meaning I made most of it up as I went without any sort of pre-planning.

Anyway, that story, "In Time," eventually grew to 180-some-odd handwritten pages. Not bad for a first timer, eh? It took four months worth of classes to finish, and not just Civics classes...

Then, when I got to college, I discovered the wonderful art of FanFiction. I read several stories, not really thinking about writing my own. And then, my ex-fiance, Erina, got me into Pokemon. The show and games were nifty, but too childish. I figured Pokemon need to grow up a bit. The result? Pokemon: Nomad Heart, my first attempt at FanFiction.
I submitted it to Pokemon Village, and for the first time, became a published (well, kinda, anyway) FanFiction author.

It was around the time I finished Nomad Heart that Cartoon Network was running the Trunks/Android/Cell Saga episodes of DBZ for the first time. And it bothered me that they had a habit of skipping several years between Trunks' arrival and that of the Androids. It was clear that Vegeta and Bulma were to get together and have a son, but how did it happen?

Well, the sappy romantic in me took over, and the end result is what you see on this website. DBZ:UR.

And now, a little about me! When I'm not writing, surfing the 'Net or out and about doing lord knows what, I'm the lead vocalist in a hard rock/metal band called Tempered Edge. We've released our first studio album, which is a realization of a childhood dream to be a rock star. I'm also a Volunteer Firefighter with the Chester Hill Hose Company in Chester Hill, PA. Now THAT'S a nifty job! I've gone through quite a bit of training, and find that I like being able to rush into a burning building with complete disregard for my own life, just to save the life and property of someone else. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, knowing that what I do is helping my fellow humans.
