Pizza - 01 - HD
Added 2019-06-23 03:00:01 +0000 UTCI reserve the right to change the name of this storyline later! Though I probably won't. Just saying.
Commentary
What my avatar says in this comic is accurate. I had an idea for a storyline in which I had characters who would sort of fit into it, but would have them doing out of character things while assuming roles they wouldn't normally be in.
Which is fine. There's no reason we can't have a storyline in which people step into different roles. We did that in Nanase Craft, for example, with no need for an intro like this.
The difference there, however, was that it was really obvious what was going on, and we didn't really need an explanation. This storyline, however, is not an obvious parody of anything, so that immediate clarity isn't there.
Basically, there was potentially a sort of "uncanny valley" situation. When the comic's parodying adventure archeologists, it's obvious and fine. When what's happening is less obvious, it's weird and confusing.
Solution? Make it obvious.
Sidenote: YAAAAAAAY KITTY

2019-06-24 03:06:00 +0000 UTCIf *you're* not allowed to make bad fanfic of your work, who would be? (Note: just because a work falls in the bad fanfic category doesn't mean it is bad itself. A lot of bad fanfic is like that, but there's an awful lot that would be great fiction if the just cut the knot and called themselves stand alone works that were merely loosely inspired by something else, rather than calling themselves fanfic. And I think that's the sort of thing you just promised, except it's not calling itself fanfic, so it's going to be awesome.) Why am I suddenly craving donuts?

2019-06-23 15:51:41 +0000 UTCIt's like this thing in TV series where they do a flashback about entirely different characters, but the same actors! I remember seeing it once in *Lois and Clark* and once in *Roswell*.

2019-06-23 07:56:44 +0000 UTCThere's non-canon, then there's rabidly out of character. Not really the same thing, especially if the characters start yelling at you when you try to make them do what you want.
