| - Bitterly Bitterly Brother started as my only serious entry into the Dragon Ball What If... project with my Brady Patrick account. Like Cooler: Elder Brother, this story was eventually deleted, causing me to use the Brady Patrick solely for writing the The Brady Patrick Collection. I originally created the page for this story back in April of 2011. While I never posted any of the story on this wiki, I did write a good deal of it on a word document. Essentially, I wrote Cooler's confrontation of Frieza and some of his speech with his father, and a few paragraphs in between, during the fighting. It was never a complete story - and Bitterly Bothered Brother was originally to be but a single chapter - so I had no reason to ever publish any of it.

Like Cooler: Elder Brother, this story was eventually deleted, causing me to use the Brady Patrick solely for writing the The Brady Patrick Collection. I originally created the page for this story back in April of 2011. While I never posted any of the story on this wiki, I did write a good deal of it on a word document. Essentially, I wrote Cooler's confrontation of Frieza and some of his speech with his father, and a few paragraphs in between, during the fighting. It was never a complete story - and Bitterly Bothered Brother was originally to be but a single chapter - so I had no reason to ever publish any of it. I later deleted that story probably over a year later. I rarely worked on Bitterly Bothered Brother and I found the story itself difficult to write, especially with my other story obligations. So I deleted the story and also deleted my word document. I considered saving the word document in my email box (which I did for a partially written Death Note collaboration with Raging Blast) but ultimately did not, as I did not think there was any chance for me to write it again. I had significant trouble early in my Dragon Ball Fanon career with writing stories about Frieza and his family. Ground Up was an early exception, but it wasn't really in character for any of the characters, so it doesn't count. Cooler: Elder Brother and Bitterly Bothered Brother were stories which I just couldn't write because every time I sat down to do so, I realized how incredibly boring I found writing about Frieza's family to be. It always seemed like a good story in theory, but not so in practice. This changed after I wrote a story called Scelerat. I spent a long time on that story trying to write through my inability to talk about Frieza's family without getting bored. With how successful I was in that venture, I became more confident in writing about Cooler. So later, TeamUnitedNerds created a tournament of various universes, where one person from each universe would fight others from different universes. So, say, a universe where Vegeta defeated Goku, or a universe where Broly survived, etc. This idea was like the What If idea, although more interesting, in my opinion. I decided to enter and used Bitterly Bothered Brother as my story. I already had the idea - that Cooler would kill his brother, father, and Goku, and take over the universe. So I just needed to re-write it. While, as of writing this commentary, the Tournament of Infinite Dimensions has not taken off, my story is complete, and remains the hallmark of that vast collaboration. I do find it cool that I created the page for the new Bitterly Bothered Brother almost two years after I created the page for the first one. It is a good way for me to look back and see how much stronger I have become as a writer in the last two years. Now, for the new Bitterly Bothered Brother, I did no pre-writing or brainstorming. All of it was improvised when I sat down to write the chapter. Additionally, the new version was to be five chapters long, whereas the original was going to be a one-shot. I felt like it would end up too long as a one-shot, so five chapters gave me plenty of room to progress Cooler's character as well as tell the plot. Of course, as any reader can see, the five chapters follow the same naming pattern. I am always searching for different ways to write my chapter names, and this was just another iteration of me exploring that. Now, the new story does have something that the original one was never going to have - Cooler going to Earth. In my original Bitterly Bothered Brother, Cooler was supposed to prepare to go to Earth, and that was where the story would end. In this version, I decided to have him go to Earth, destroy everything there, and later even tackle Cell, Future Trunks, and the Majins. This was added in for the Tournament's sake, as Cooler needed to rule the entire universe in his dimension to get Midax's attention.
