Warning. This is not safe for logic. Logic will spontaneously combust and then explode if it comes into contact with this crossover. I am not kidding.

Samurai Pizza Cats anime intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXiJYcK4-GU

How could anyone think crossing a realistic universe in modern England with an anime universe in Japan is a good idea????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The warrior clans DO NOT have human-type technology!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That anime does. My faith in the human race just died, again.

At first I was unclear... by WarriorJoe on 2009-05-12 18:33:00 UTC Reply

on what exactly the other fandom was (other than the Pizza Cats, which I am familiar enough with to give a decent on-the-spot rendition of the Fan Club Oath if pressed), but now I think I know. Warriors is that book series about cats fighting basically a cat-scale war, right? By... *goes upstairs and digs book out of little brother's shelf* Erin Hunter?

I read the first one of those a while back out of sheer curiosity, but never really progressed onwards into the series (hence my extremely simplified summary of it). Even so, based off my experiences with that one book, this is a HELL of a crossover. I could write an essay on why this makes no sense.

Warriors Series by Dragonmage on 2009-05-12 20:09:00 UTC Reply

At the most basic level, yes, Warriors is about the cats fighting an ongoing cat-scale war by Erin Hunter. I could write an essay on why that crossover makes no sense and needs to be killed ASAP. As in now if not sooner. Why do people write stuff like this? WHY???????!!!!!!!

I can give you the answer. by WarriorJoe on 2009-05-12 20:26:00 UTC Reply

Because someone thought it was a good idea.

Keep in mind that this line of thought also brought us the airplane, the Internet, and chocolate chip cookies (though in that case it was more "hey, this mistake turned out to be a good idea, let's keep doing it"), so I never knock it too hard. The problem is never the idea. It's the execution of it, is where everyone fouls up.

As it stands, I'm sure there is a way to make a Warriors/SPC crossover work. But it would take a long time to think of one and an investment of even more time to make it work well. And that is the problem with most fanwriters; they never spend the time to give their work a once-over or even a twice-over.

I've had my second PPC mission plus interlude done for almost a week, but until I can find someone to beta it for me I'm not releasing jack diddly. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and worth having others make sure you're doing it well.

Not looking into this I will.

Poor Vulcans? by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-13 10:42:00 UTC Reply

Of course! They don't like the new Trek film. At all. *hugs nearest Vulcan*

I don't think Vulcans like to be hugged. (nm) by khajidu on 2009-05-13 11:05:00 UTC Reply

I don't know... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-13 11:15:00 UTC Reply

I think even Vulcans would need hugs after what Star Trek XI did to them.

Maybe... by khajidu on 2009-05-13 11:49:00 UTC Reply

but would they admit it?

Some might do... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-13 11:54:00 UTC Reply

after all, it's a hug-worthy event.

Nevertheless, these are Vulcans. by khajidu on 2009-05-13 11:58:00 UTC Reply

I can't see Vulcans wanting to be hugged, even after that. It does not compute.

Neither does a lot of the film... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-13 12:08:00 UTC Reply

so maybe these a Emotional!Vulcans. Or they go to that crazy plant world with the deadly radiation.

Romulans? That explains a lot. by khajidu on 2009-05-13 12:32:00 UTC Reply

Emotional!Vulcans = Romulans. Same species.

True... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-13 12:42:00 UTC Reply

though the Romulans will need hugs after this movie too.

Black holes need hugs too! by Gabriel on 2009-05-15 01:24:00 UTC Reply

Why don't we ever hug black holes? Is it only because they're black? Why such intolerance?

*hugs nearest black hole*

Because black holes hug back... by thejadefalcon on 2009-05-15 12:47:00 UTC Reply

And they hurt.

By the way, I was purposefully trying to avoid spoilers for those who haven't seen the film. You know, people like me. :P Wikipedia is so helpful. :D

...A'IGHT, THIS GOES TOO FAR! I HAVE SEEN BLACKSTAR GO TO CANDY MOUNTAIN, I'VE SEEN FIRESTAR AND JAYPAW BECOME BUTTERFLYMAN AND MOTH LAD (actually, those two were kinda funny) BUT THIS JUST TOPS IT ALL!

When I find who created this monstrosity, limbs will be lost! And none of them will be mine!

*starts chanting a la Lord of the Flies* Kill the fic! Bash it in! Spill its blood!

I hate morbid curiousity. It made me look up Samurai Pizza Cats. You saw the intro, didn't you? That fic NEEDS to DIE!

*demonic voice*yes by jabbuk d'eldrin on 2009-05-12 05:36:00 UTC Reply

*still demonic*it should DIE! along with the author. and the authors family. and friends. and associates. because what we have here, my friends, is a clear case of contagious retardation.

I must agree. Who with one brain cell to rattle around in his or her skull would name a cat Polyester? At least that's what the female cat's name sounded like to me. *grabs Bleepka*

The pun was quite intentional. Hell, the entire American version of Samurai Pizza Cats is one gigantic Woolseyism, because when Saban got the rights to the show they-- for some reason-- were not given transcripts. So they wrote their entire own show.

Fic should die, but don't make death threats to its author and his/her relatives and others.

It is not a capital offense (in the real world) to be stupid.

Okay by Dragonmage on 2009-05-12 05:59:00 UTC Reply

It's not like we'd actually do it. Although, I am going to Kill that crossover so dead it has no hope of coming back to life. Even if I have to set "Little Tokyo" *gags* on fire and the fic won't be able to come back even if the author writes another chapter. *steals flamethrowers*
