Thoughts on SCUs? (Also apologizing for prev behaviour) by Ferrethead on 2021-10-02 19:34:41 UTC Reply

First of all, sorry for any bigoted behaviour I may have done in the past, I won't do it again...

I also note that my first language is not English, so anything I may say may be phrased in the wrong way...

Also, there's a trend on Deviantart, the 'Shared Crossover Universes', started by a certain Wolfblade111 with his Guardian-Verse, and about thirty others have joined in with their own. They basically are gigantic crossovers where they mash things they like together, and sometimes crossover with one another.

Ten of them are currently doing a tournament called 'Multiversal Combat', which just takes from Dragon Ball Z's Tournament of Power and mashes up their crossover universes together in one big battle to see who's the strongest.

There's many of them, and I will mention a few of them:

Guardian-Verse (Wolfblade111), Vice-Verse (JackDev99), Crossverse (Simbiothero), Krimzonverse (Spiroucore/Prohyas) (recently moved accounts to focus exclusively on the Krimzonverse), Alter-Verse (Deathbattleultimatum), J Re-Verse (jmp01), and Comics!Verse (oceansongbird).

Thoughts on the SCU fic universes?

(Note that Wolfblade and Jack are very problematic people, and this sours the idea of it a little bit)

I think a crossover is neither good nor bad in and of itself. by Cicada on 2021-10-04 22:53:41 UTC Reply

Any crossover can be interesting, but the main thing that seems odd about these is that you haven't mentioned much about them besides them being crossovers. What's the hook, I guess?

I have been busy with... things.

Shared Crossover Universes are all very different in origin, but usually, they're more Superhero-y or Anime-y then anything, with a spare few (like Krimzonverse) having different origins.

Guardian-Verse stars Wolfblade, for instance, who is just a regular dude in wolf armor that wields a sword, but features very 'power-wanky' Saiyans, a lot of (maybe slightly bigoted) 'fixing' of modern installments of new things, and a fanchild between Wolfblade and his love interest, Daisy Johnson from Agents of SHIELD...

Vice-Verse is hard to discern much of anything from, but it's known for some pretty overpowered takes on established characters. Vice is the lead character, who is a Sonic OC, but is also something called 'Truth', which may be more overpowered then most 2000s fanfiction author's OCs... Also, it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, and it's assumed Truth did the Apocalypse here.

Krimzonverse is a reboot of the previously-mentioned on the board Crossover Chaos, put forth in the SCU style. Probably one of the better ones here, even if Elaine (Joe Kido) is written rather 'trans woman chaser'-y still. I find the concept of an SCU using stuff other then DBZ and comic books to be fantastic, but I think the wacky execution of this SCU makes it suffer at least a little bit.

I don't know too much about practically any of the others, as I am currently doing research on ones that aren't these ones, that don't post facts frequently.

I also note that the SCU currently has a villain from one I don't know too much about, the Crossverse, menacing these ones above, among other ones I don't know too much about.

Maybe I'm biaised when I say this. by The Pighead on 2021-10-02 21:27:23 UTC Reply

I think that, as a concept, it's something really cool! As someone who plan to create a universe mixing dozens of universes and characters that I like for future fanfics, I think that it can be a good way to expand the possibilities about anything and create some very awesome/funny/epic/cool encounters.

And if people are having fun with it, it's even better!
