What is Jen Ten?
Jen Ten; Grow Up is a Ben Ten fanfiction written by Jasper Summer with the first chapter being published on April 15 2023.
New chapters have been released in a sporadic schedule since then. The fanfiction itself picks up after the show Ben Ten Omniverse taking place around five years later, featuring a
twenty one year old version of the titular character. Its main difference being within the fics title, this story is about Jen Tennyson. A mixture between an alternate universe and
continuation, in Jen Ten Grow Up; Ben Tennyson is a transgender woman who begins going by Jennifer. Using the Omnitrix, and her vast universe altering powers to change her gender.
We see Jen Ten deal with the ramifications of being the most powerful women in the universe, having to run interdimensional errands for the Omnitrix's creator Azmuth, stopping crime
on earth, and trying to mend her many floundering relationships. A mixture between slice of life, existential dread and high stake sci-fi action. Jen Ten is everything I think would
make an amazing continuation of the Ben Ten series.
**Yes I know "Galvin" is actually spelled Galvan but I wrote almost 100,000 words saying Galvin. I did change it later, but came up with a bit of an in-universe reason.
As one glowing comment put it:
"I find it hard to relate to a female Ben Tennyson and the constant lesbianism that I am perceiving. It just doesn't feel the same. Good luck with your writing, I guess."

Behind the Author and the Website
Hello my name is Jasper Summer. I am an aspiring author and a huge Ben Ten fan. Rewatching every show within the classic Ben Ten continuity consistently as I am a huge fan of every era of Ben Ten. The original Ben Ten series, Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse. I began writing Jen Ten; Grow Up as a writing exercise to improve my skill writing action scenes, working with large ensemble casts, and describing things from other planets in simple language. However I found myself particularly drawn to the character and the world surrounding her, planning out plot lines and working with characters I felt like deserved to have new life breathed into them. My goal is to create a story that shows why I love Ben Ten, and against a sea of crossover fanfiction I hope that Jen Ten; Grow Up is a refreshing piece that shows how great the Ben Ten universe is on its own.
The website is a creation of me and my girlfriend dub nelson, who has been my one loyal reader since I began. It was designed to organize some details I could not fit into the fanfiction itself, along with showcasing the ten new aliens dub and I are designing for the fic along with her artwork of different aliens from the Ben Ten series. This website will basically have whatever Ben Ten related stuff I or dub make thrown onto it, so keep your eyes peeled for more pretentious Ben Ten content.
