"Elites" (i.e., really grand epic style stuff)
AU
Vegittasei Ascendant One of the most well-written fanfics I have ever seen. Based in an alternate universe, the fic shows what might have happened if the Planet Vegeta had never been blown up by Freeza. Just be warned - if you start to read, you WILL be hooked.
DU
Dragon Ball Super Z Fanfiction Fabulous! Set up in the alternate time-line of mirai no Trunks, this "alter-verse" is one of the best I've found; one of the few, indeed, in which the author's idea of the DBZ characters is relatively accurate to the original.
DU
The Last Warrior Following Mirai no Trunks back to his bleak future. Chills. Thank God it's finished. 0_0
DU
Radditz's Return This is by far one of the best fics I've ever read. What if Vegeta died a second time - and couldn't be wished back? Well, then other avenues - other mythologies would have to be explored, wouldn't they? Trust me on this and check it out - EXCELLENT story (and one of those that you can't figure out ahead of time, either).
Rare Finds (among Fanfic, that is)
LU
Takira's page of Fanfics Contains Twist of Fate (one of the only creative "female Saiyan" fics out there), and No Man's Son - a fascinating take on Jeice.
LU
Mia and also Mia: Devotion, the sequel in progress. The other "good female Saiyan" fic - and trust me, there aren't that many of them out there. :) And man, oh, MAN... do I want to see Goten get it (spoiler! Haha!).
FU
An Untold Future One of the only plausible "many, many years in the future" takes on DBZ. Aren't that many of these, either. :)
AU
Dragonshift Z Gokou never bumped his head, Broli is alive and sane... and watch out, Star Wars fans. *grins* A very good story. Enjoy!
AU
Dark Ki: An Alternate Universe Ooh, another good one taking on a subject rarely touched - movie characters. One of the only good "alter-verse" fics out there.
CU
Anzu's Domain One of the only successful Concurrent Universe fanfics I've seen yet - and yes, new Saiyans are introduced. Get over it. ~_^Collections
The Good Fanfiction Webring Fabulous! 99% of the sites in this webring are DBZ based, and it houses some of the best on the web.Mirai's World Incredible collection of fics... in fact, it is safe to say that Nora is one of the Elites. (Warning: there are some things on this page that are a bit on the hentai side; just don't read 'em. *grins* Riiiiight.)
Dot's Fiction Corner Another good site of DBZ fanfic - and much other anime fanfic as well. Enjoy!
Dragon Ball Fanfic Archive Not all of these links work because the site's maintainer is MIA, but the stories that are there are quite good.
AU - Alternate Universe. [Dark Ki, Dragonshift Z] As the name suggests, an AU takes place in a different universe from the one we see in DBZ. Usually (but not necessarily) this involves Vegeta-sei not being destroyed.DU - Divergent Universe. [Radditz's Return] A DU starts out in the DBZ universe, and as the name suggests, gradually moves away from it.
MU - Multiple Universe. [Dominion: Reprise] An MU is not commonly encountered. As the name suggests, it takes place in several timelines at once.
LU - Later Universe. [Twist of Fate] An LU takes place either after the end of DBZ, or the end of DBGT if the author chooses to acknowledge the existence of that series.
FU - Future Universe. [An Untold Future] Disregard the alternate meaning of this acronym. An FU takes place long after the DBZ/GT series, i.e. at least 1,000 years.
PU - Past Universe. [no example available] Once again, disregard the alternate interpretation of the acronym. A PU takes place before the original DB series.
CU - Concurrent Universe. [Kyoudai] A CU takes place during one of the DB series, but does not alter the timeline of the series.
XU - Crossover universe. Involves an intersection of the DBZ universe and that of another series.
