But Uhura was born way too early to be Captain Janeway's magical girl mentor. She'd be something like eighty years old when Janeway was old enough to attract Kyubey's attention, and that was the lynchpin that this whole story revolved on. I'll just have to look through someone else's posts, unless I decide to make another concept and use fewer fandoms in it.
You made Barney into a sympathetic character! Wow! I hated Barney, and here he is like this wonderful, patient teacher who can even be nice to Dennis the Menace!
I was a major Barney fanboy as a little 'un. No amount of teasing kept me from my fandom! Until I got older, anyway.
But, yeah. I did try to keep this fairly low-key, to match the kid-oriented natures of both canons.
I missed Barney by a few years--already a teenager by the time he got popular, so I only got the negative talk about the show.
I never saw him as having real thoughts and emotions before though, and you gave me that concept of him being a person in my mind. Not easy with a biased audience.
If a little insipid and schmaltzy at times.
Interestingly, the UK version of Dennis the Menace is rather different to the US version. The US version talks too loud and makes a mess. The UK version hurls rotten fruit at policemen and decorated war veterans, beats the living daylights out of other kids, and occasionally goes into space. =]
Apologies if I used the wrong Menace for my story. I didn't realize there were two different versions!
It kind of goes against expectations, actually. You would think the British Dennis would be the slightly improper one, while the American Dennis would be the badly-behaved one.
I only found out about it a month or two ago, and after reading a few pages worth of archived strips, immediately wondered how I could have been on the Internet for so long and not even heard of it before. The question only grew larger once I realized how well-known it seemed to be. It's like XKCD says: every day there are 10,000 people who discover something for the first time that "everyone already knows about". I guess I was one of that day's lucky 10,000.
I think I'll give the blog a miss, ta. I'm working on the scripts for a series of video reviews, and the UK/US Dennis dichotomy is one of the episodes I'm planning on doing.
Also G-Force and the Moshi Monsters movie.
I hate myself.
I would like to watch them, once you're finished! Also, what are your plans for the format? SF Debris-style voiceover only, Channel Awesome-style intercuts with you in live-action, or something else? Animation would probably need a lot more effort than it would be worth, but I've seen a lot of other creative third options. There's one video reviewer I've seen who intercut to a pair of Muppets.
Once they're scripted and the storyline is hammered into shape (yeah, I plan to involve story, DWI), I'm going to shoot it all live. To avoid roving copyright drones, scenes from the thing I'll be reviewing will be replicated with various inanimate objects, and the title card will have an original theme tune. Xylophones may or may not be involved. =]
I like the idea of acting out scenes from the movies with inanimate objects. Not only is it original, it'll undoubtedly provide you with plenty of opportunities to make exaggerated voice impersonations!
What do you plan to have the story be about? Also, what does DWI stand for? The internet claims it stands for Driving While Intoxicated, Descriptive Word Index, or Diffusion-Weighted Imaging, none of which make sense in that sentence.
You are a brave, brave woman.
Any movie that can involve guinea pigs and still manage to repulse me has failed on a primordial level.
The challenge, of course, is making actual jokes out of something so comprehensively unfunny. I mean, yeesh.

You got Cecil's voice perfect, and well, the Avengers and Night Vale fit together better than I thought - after all, they are both close to reality in some ways but totally fantastical in other ways. Very cool, I like.
I feel like we should be collecting these somewhere. I've been thinking about crossposting some of mine to AO3 or ff.net, but all of them are good and I don't want them to fall off the page into oblivion.
Oh, also, hi, I don't think we've met. You probably joined while I was away. So, a very belated welcome from me.
So let's fix that. Hi! Thank you for the welcome and the kind words about my fic. =]
And, incidentally, I'm working on a fic where Bones is The Doctor and Kirk and Spock are his companions.
If someone wanted to contribute and had a crossover idea, but someone else had already replied to the post containing the fandoms that they wanted to use, would a hypothetical Boarder then need to wait for someone else to list the same fandoms, or could they just respond to the post with their own variation, provided that it was different from one of the ideas that had already been used?
