Crossover Sagas Questions Part 2

Are there any notable events in Crossover Sagas that you’re really excited about?

I am excited about, as I am writing it like a book series, with the whole saga word being a term for a group of books put together; I am very excited to write the first saga, with it being two books, Book 1 and Book 2. So Book 1, I am excited to write that, because, getting the series started, and obviously, the final chapter of it, with the whole big battle between the Kinetic Society’s leader and Lexis. Obviously I’m really excited about writing their big battle. And Book 2, I’m not that excited about, because it’s not really any majorly exciting battles or things in that one.

(It’s just character development?)

Yes, mainly character development. But Season 2, I’m excited about, because it will truly begin the crossover part of Crossover Sagas. With the first crossover I’m hoping to do is with the Naruto Universe. I kind of want to do that with Season 2, and 3, both begining with the same universe starting it off. So I’m kind of excited with having some conversations with Lexis and Sasuke, because Sasuke is my favourite character, him and Itachi, so I’m really excited that I would be able to do that. Also, I’m excited about introducing the other two main characters, because all the other main characters, minus Manasa’s brother and Hewitt’s copy, would have been introduced in Season 1. So I am excited about that, being able to just get all the characters out there. The most exciting event that I’m excited over is the final battle, because I’ve been going over so many ways that I can do it, kind of music that can go along with it, so many ways. I have decided on what major events are going to happen in that, so I am really excited about that part.

How would you distribute Crossover Sagas?

Well the original plan for Crossover Sagas was just that it was going to be a small thing, I wasn’t going to try and get money off of it, it was just going to be a small thing for fun that I did with a group of friends. So we were going to probably find our own site, because there’s a load of ways you can get free sites, and just distribute it via the Internet. That would have been it. That would have been how it would have been distributed. But now that I think about it, if this was to be developed into a proper TV series, then it would have been distributed via TV, but I very much doubt that would happen, because distributing via TV would mean you would have to pay money for it, and you would also need to get an income from it, and if you were getting money off of something like a crossover series, you’d need to pay for the licenses to use the characters, and those are ridiculously expensive. So distributing it via the internet for free is best.

How would you promote Crossover Sagas?

I have deviantART, Facebook, so obviously promoting via those are obviously the best ways. If it got big enough, or if I had friends who had other sites, I could probably get them to put up an advertisement for it somewhere, and I could probably use Youtube and put up an ad there. But that would be if I was promoting it being a free show on the internet; if it was going to be on TV, then there would be ads on TV or other places.

How long would you want Crossover Sagas to be? (Specify the number of seasons and the number of episodes in each season.)

Well, I’m going to go with five sagas, so that’s five seasons. Season 1 is just going to be two books. The first book is really going to be the shortest, probably 10 to 12 episodes, at most, because one episode for each member of the leaders, and then a two-part episode for the final battle. And there again, it might only be 11 episodes, because going up to nine, and then he gets captured, and then the final battle happens. And then Book 2, there’ll be 14 episodes for Book 2, because I want to have it where there are going to be seven temples in total, and each temple, the first part of the episode will have him finding it, and getting through it will be the second part, so each temple will have two parts. And I’m trying to get rid of filler, I’m not going to have filler episodes, I don’t like the idea of having filler episodes, it’s just pointless. It’s kind of what the fifth season is for, anyways. That’s where the filler’s going to be, because it’s the Aftermath Saga, so Season 5 could go on forever. It could have as many episodes as I feel like.

Season 2 depends on how many arcs we do, how many books are in it. But there are four definite series that I’ve decided on for that one, and each one is probably going to be five or ten episodes at most, because I’m not going to have it that long, because it’s going to take any of the events that they cross over with in other series and abridge them to the maximum; get all the events as short as possible without ruining it. But obviously, some of them will be longer than others, and some of them will be shorter. For instance, his first meeting with the other two main characters, Kael'thas Menethil and Arugulo, those will be very short, they won’t be that long, because it will just be their introduction. They’ll get a proper story arc in Season 3.

And in Season 3, I’ve decided on a definite, an absolute definite, that there’s going to have five worlds. Lexis would have gone to one of his past lives’ places and gotten their memories from season two. That’ll be the last world that he visits. So there’ll be the remaining five worlds that he’ll be exploring in Season 3, and then there’ll have the Naruto one, so that’s six, and add Arugulo's and Kael'thas' , which will be eight. And then add on the one for Manasa and her brother, their special character development arc, where they actually finally find their family, their parents. So that’ll be their story arc, so yeah, there would be about nine, probably. But that would be the longest one, aside from Season 5.

Season 4, I would be going for 20 episodes, because it’s going to be five to ten episodes exploring the Void and just finding out about the area, and the first part is going to develop Angelo and Donavon’s story.
