| - Soup was the first of the ten new ideas for the Brady Patrick account. I had known immediately, when creating the ten new story ideas that I wanted a Master Roshi story. But what could be done that hadn't already? Well, his meeting of Turtle seems like a minor event, but considering the bond the two later developed, this was an incredibly important moment in his life that no one ever wrote about. It was originally meant to be the first of the new Brady Patrick stories to be written. But through circumstance, it was always delayed week after week until it was the sixth of ten. I will not deny it; writing Soup was the most fun I have had since writing In Requiem's poem. Indeed, as far as a simple one shot goes, this was the most fun I have ever had writing. Writing this story really helped me get back into the wiki as often time, I would write stories and feel pressure to be good or to release by a certain date. With Soup, I just wrote something I felt very strongly about, and had a load of fun doing it. The random alligator was specifically chosen because he was so randomly intriguing in the third Dragon Ball episode. Though he was never seen again, it was great to also explain how he got there. When writing this story, I listened to the song "The Devil Keeps Grinning" repeatedly. It took me about two hours to fully write it, along with eating food at the same time. I never really had any areas of trouble. The main reason it took so long was that I constantly checking the timeline of Dragon Ball to make sure I wouldn't contradict anything. This was the only of the new Brady Patrick stories that I wrote in my own room. Usually I write them in my Family Room.
