I feel like now is a great time to plug the best worst movie you've never fuckin' seen: The Exigency by Cody Vibbart. Dude animated the whole thing in Poser himself over 15 fuckin' years. It's on Amazon Prime, but fuck Jeff Bezos with his own shiny bald head, so here's the YouTube link to watch it for free

And here's a video talking about it and its creation:

The Hollywood executives gather around the base of the water tower on Warner Brothers studios. They utter prayers as they walk up the ten thousand steps to where the Oracle sleeps.

Lo! It is Dot Warner! In her regalia as The Oracle of Studio City!

Executive: "O Oracle, the studio system is failing! We are fat upon our merchandising rights, and struggle under the weight of the writer strike. What can we do?"

The Oracle: "Look to the past ye ingrates! Thou hast forgotten the bearings of thine forefathers!Remember the studio crash of the 60s! Remember what ponderous budgets and lackluster production do to the foundations of our nation!"

Executive: "What the, is the path, O Oracle?"

And the Oracle paused, channeling the muse and hallowed Apollo. And the Oracle spake:

The Oracle: "Schlock."

Executives: "But it was banished! Bound to the time prison of 1988, and sealed within the earth! We cannot allow the B Studio system to return!"

The Oracle: "Schlock! I say! Let there be Schlock! The wheel turns! The light of heaven shines upon low-budget watchbait!"

Executives: "I cannot be!"

The Oracle: "Let streaming services collapse at their knees! Let a new generation of directors be forged in the fires of independent cinema! Now is the time of the hidden gem! The cult classic! Let there be unwatchable tripe! Let there be Schlock!"

My sense of what Crossovers are for, conceptually, the thing they do that other works can't, was entirely formulated by my early-childhood exposure to Kurt Busiek and George Perez's seminal 2004 Marvel/DC crossover JLA/Avengers. Like most stuff Busiek writes it's a love-letter, and part-and-parcel with its status as a love-letter was that he took the time to render the horror and bewilderment that the respective teams had upon encountering the status-quo of their counterpart's setting. The JLA encounter the anti-mutant hysteria, the supervillainous fiefdoms like Latveria, figures like Hulk and Punisher being allowed to roam free, all those tonal hallmarks of Marvel, and they come to the conclusion that the Marvel Universe is hanging on by its fingernails and that the Avengers are somewhere between in over their heads and actively negligent. Meanwhile the Avengers explore the shiny, forward-thinking, optimistic DC universe, encounter the ubiquitously positive reactions they get from people on the street just for visibly Being Superheroes, see things like the Flash Museum and the Hall of Justice, and Captain America comes to the conclusion that the Justice League obviously must have led a fascist takeover of America. Then they hit each other a lot. Anyway, if you're writing a crossover between two works and you want me to care at all, you need to meet the JLA/Avengers Bar. When a character from one work is placed in the context of another work's setting, what commentary on the original work is that character in a position to provide through their outlook and worldview? What insight, in turn, can their commentary provide on on the assumptions and conventions of their native narrative? Have all characters involved experienced enough of the events of their own work that they've actually got something to compare and contrast with, or is the crossover occurring so early in one or more of their respective timelines that you're basically dealing with OCs due to the butterfly effect? Are you actually acknowledging the different properties as discrete narratives that are abrading each other in interesting ways, or are you for the one millionth time reimagining Izuku Midoriya as a native resident of some other setting (seemingly decided via roulette wheel?) And of course, are you correct in your assessments of how these are bouncing off each other? How many times am I getting hit with "They would not fucking say that/react like that/understand their new surroundings in that way/go five minutes without trying to disembowel this fan-favorite character from the other work that you've decided they're getting along great with?"

Oh I'm so interested! Thank you! Could you share your preparations to write a fic? Maybe you could give a piece of advice or smth if it's possible

omg it's my pleasure! truly appreciate your interest on the matter :')

and of course, thanks so much for asking! i have a quite methodical writing process that works for me, but i think the following tips can help other writers to extract and adapt some information to their own process! here's what i do:

our ideas just emerge from nowhere. whether it's during a shower, or before we fall asleep, or during a dental procedure (yes... this happened to me once), it's crucial to try to keep them fresh in our thoughts until we have time to annotate them. that's why, besides a phone with a fairly accessible notes app, i carry a small moleskin with me, because when these sudden new ideas surge into your mind, if you don't annotate them somewhere, they'll surely escape and you'll end up hating yourself for not having “saved” them, that's for sure. imo the human brain could be comparable to an operational system: if we don't save our files (ideas), they'll be lost perpetually (unless you can hack your own kernel but that's another story);

research!!!! this is perhaps my most preferred tip: consistent research prior to the beginning of your structured writing is essential. not only will it provide valuable information that will turn your project into an almost-perfectly vivid piece of work, but more research can spark more ideas. my advice is to do consistent research on the topic before AND during the writing process, as there will always be a chance of stumbling upon a piece of information regarding the topic you're writing about that you were not aware of;

i try not to “only write when i'm inspired”. as soon as i gather my ideas into something discernible in my notes app and/or my moleskin, i transfer them to a google docs file and start structuring the story according to the theme/type. currently, i have two academic jobs and i'm doing a second degree lol so even if i only have the time/energy/will to write like, 30 minutes a day, that's more than enough! just don't go too long without writing anything;

this is something i learned with academic writing: i do not start writing the story... in the introduction(?). i mean, i don't create the introduction first - i prefer to build a particular scene first (be it a scene that will be part of the fifth paragraph, or even the last scene), and then structure the story around it. it's an odd method and not always advisable, but it's a tool that helps me write and rewrite (∞ times) chunks of text throughout the process;

i must stop so as not to elongate myself but here are two tools that help me to write when i'm "stuck" on a sentence or a paragraph, and also for revising and proofreading drafts and/or the final work: one look, which is a guide and thesaurus that scans over a thousand dictionaries and helps a lot with synonyms, antonyms, figurative language, and so on; and the thesaurus dot com itself. lately it's been really difficult to access quality tools that do not make use of AI, but the few that don't are just excellent (i'm very fond of one look tbh).

hope these tips are not too confusing to understand or too superficial haha, if you have further questions feel free to send me another message!
