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.

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. -

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. -

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???????!!!!!!!

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. -

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

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 -

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.

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*
