Upload part 1 of chapter for P x Z 2: Beyond Time and Space in SB.
I remember a few stories that involved the Know Your Stars guy from All That saying false things about characters from different series. There was one with Danny Phantom I found hilarious.

Is it just me, or would Carnage and B.B. Hood make for the most adorable adoptive father-daughter serial killer duo?
<Carnage slaughters an entire room of innocent werewolves, laughing all the while as the blood splatters over anything and everything in sight>
BB <sweet and innocent wide-eyed expression of sweetly innocent wide-eyed doe-iness> : "Wow~! You're so cool, Papa!"
Carnage: <ruffling BB's hair affectionately after she brutally tortured someone to death> "That's my girl!"
<demented serial killer huggles ensue>

Well, Carnage did form a makeshift "family" during the Maximum Carnage arc, IIRC.
BTW, what's gotten you so fixated on Bulleta lately? First the Evangelion idea, and now this.

Carnage and Bulletta are walking into the bar.
Hansel and Gretel are doing... '"things'' in the table on back.
Deadpool is the current bartender.

Actually, I haven't yet.
But that's mostly 'cos I'm waiting for the next check to come in before I order it for PSP.
I read the comics and am reading a bunch of fanfic, though. I mean, I'm definitely enamored as all hell with Darkstalkers in general, but I don't exactly think I can point out what it is that I like so much about B.B. Hood.
Victor and Emily are probably my other personal faves at the moment.

Well, personally speaking, my favorites are Morrigan, Lilith, Felicia, Bulleta, Lei-Lei (aka Hsien-Ko), and Q-Bee, in that order.
... Yes, I know that's pretty much all of the playable female characters in the Darkstalkers series. I don't care. I've come to realize some time ago that I might have stricter standards for being impressed by male characters... or maybe they're not so much stricter but rather operate on different values from female characters.
To wit, my favorite Street Fighter characters are, in no particular order, Gouki/Akuma (... OK, so I put him first because he is #1 in my book; sue me!), Chun-Li, Cammy, The Dolls (all twelve of them, but mainly Juni and Juli note ), Vega/M. Bison, Blanka, Zangief, Mike Haggar, and Poison. That's five men (six if you consider Poison to be a pre-op M2F transsexual) to a minimum of six women (five if, again, Poison is considered as a M2F transsexual).

The most important things you need to know about the franchise:
- Gouki/Akuma is the ultimate Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy Blood Knight who is uber-badass enough to back his arrogance.
- Chun-Li is the ur-Action Girl in fighting games (sorry, Mai Shiranui) and the World's Strongest Woman in the SF universe.
- Vega/M. Bison is one of the hammiest Diabolical Masterminds who aspire to attain World Domination.
- Cammy is Vega/Bison's Opposite-Sex Clone, but broke free from brainwashing and now fights international crime for the UK. And for some reason, she insists on wearing a thong-backed leotard all the frigging time.
- Blanka is what you get if Tarzan lived in The Amazon, somehow turned green and learned how to imitate an electric eel.
- Zangief is the mightiest pro wrestler alive and the embodiment of Mother Russia Makes You Strong. He also routinely trains with Ussuri brown
bears. In the middle of freaking Siberian heavy snowfall. And once danced with then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Well, I vaguely knew the first three and the fifth of those things.
Incidentally, I'm working on a fighting game multicross, based on the Excuse Plot of Dissidia Final Fantasy: Chaos, God of Discord, and Cosmos, Goddess of Harmony, are once again renewing their eternal struggle via Combat by Champion. This time, however, the war takes the form of a single-elimination combat tournament, both deities summoning two champions from each of eight fighting game universes (meaning 16 Chaos warriors and 16 Cosmos warriors, 32 fighters total). Powerlevels will be ignored except in a more general/vague sense, the prevailing meta-rule being that hypothetically, literally anyone can defeat anyone else.
Unfortunately, roster selection has been slow in moving along because I want to get the readership involved (I pick 1 hero and 1 villain per setting, and the readers do the same by popular vote, along with the readers picking what the 8th setting is), and only one or two people have really been interested in playing ball with me on that aspect of it.
Ah well, at least I got the Soul Series cast finalized (Mitsurugi and SCII!Sophitia, Algol and SCIV!Nightmare), and now I'm in the process of selecting the Darkstalkers cast.... who might y'all like to see?
(the other five settings I haven't gotten to choosing for yet are Street Fighter, Tekken, BlazBlue, Virtua Fighter, and Dead Or Alive; the eight setting, depending on how the vote goes, could be Bloody Roar, Guilty Gear, Ehrgeiz, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Mortal Kombat, Skullgirls, or Arcana Heart; only the italicized ones have any votes so far, though, and only one each thus far)

Carnage kills for fun, but Bulleta kills for profit. Psycho for Hire or not, she's also a Pragmatic Villain and doesn't like wasting resources for nothing (as her grandma taught her). That doesn't mean she won't enjoy her work, but she's not the type to go around killing people at random; it'll only make her job that much harder in the future, and if she kills her targets for free now, who will pay her for them later?
Also, I think Juli is T. Hawk's sister, not his girlfriend. Unless that's one of the many things changed by translations.

Both Wikipedia and the SF wiki say that she's his girlfriend.

It's not a waste if gunning down civilians makes for a significant chunk of her weekly allowance. 
(which could actually make Carnage more robbery-prone come to think of it; gotta support his darling daughter somehow, after all )
Also the fact that B.B.'s a bounty hunter, and I'm sure we can all imagine a few.... less than savory individuals who'd be willing to pay good money to see particular superheroes/metahumans come down with a nasty case of dead.
Heck, given B.B.'s Fantastic Racism toward Darkstalkers, she might even see fit to extend that over to mutants.
Although in all seriousness, OM, it was rather good of you to point that out. I appreciate it.

So, had yet-another-megacrossover-idea, a mere 12 hours after I posted a chapter and said I was conserving M.U.S.E. (Multi Use Scribing Energy). The madness is as follows:
In the year 20XX, everyone who was logged on when the MMORPG Log Horizon was updated disappeared, never to be seen on Earth again. At the same time, Wizard Harry Dresden is called by the Faerie Queen Mab to Perform a Small Favor...
In the year 20XX, Hiraga Saito disappeared from the world, never to be seen again. Meanwhile, Satou Kazuma dies and was sent by a (useless) goddess to be reincarnated in another world.
In 20xx+2, the Chitauri invade Earth and is defeated by the Avengers.
In 20XX+4, the goddess Hardy, who's kind of an asshole, opens a Gate from Alnus hill into another world, since she finds the current world too boring and wants to shake it up with new elements...At about the same time, after defeating a dragon, Hiraga Saito and his new wife make a trip to Japan so she can meet his parents. Coincidentally, Satou Kazuma and his party use a magical artifact than send him back to his homeworld, to be forcibly sent back after 12 hours with no memory of having gone. Meanwhile, aliens open a breach at the bottom of the ocean, with intent to send through kaiju to destroy and terraform the world.
The combination of Void Magic, the goddess Hardy, alien technology, and random magical crap Wiz gets conned into buying proves to be too much for the universe when they overlap, causing breaches between dimensions towards places of weakness: namely, Chicago of a certain world where entities from outside reality have recently been; Akihabara, were a mass-trans-dimensional abduction had occured; the origin points of one of the anomalies, Halkegenia and Axel Town; the rifts where the Convergence had occured; oh, and an academic city in Japan that ws getting ready to hold its sports festival.
Gates open in several location... and rampaging Roman-esque hordes, wyvern riders, orcs and trolls come charging through with intent to conquer. They're repulsed, eentually, but the Gates aren't closing... and soon, other things start coming on through...

First segment of the fic strouting from that idea:
Pretty depressing, isn't it?
Imagine the third rock of significant size away from the star, shining like an easily destroyed blue gem. White clouds adorn it, large landmasses dot it, and the face of the world swarm with creatures. Focus on the living creatures. It's a lot less depressing than infinite nothingness. Now, imagine an infinite number of words like this. Do you see it?
In one such world, a rift tore open in the fabric of reality, and stayed open for quite some time. The dinosaurs noticed nothing, and if some of them were smart enough to do so, they didn't care.
Eventually, the breach in reality closed, and life continued as it always had for the dinosaurs. Until they all died and most of their relatives went on their way to become Kentucky Fried Chicken. Nothing interesting happened for a very long time.
Let us look at another world, just a few steps away int he grand cosmic multiversity of it all and a few million years later. One perfectly ordinary day, millions of people suddenly vanished without a trace. There were no signs of struggle. Some had things taken, some were in debt, some were in trouble, but not all. Not millions in all. They all just vanished off the face of the Earth. Authorities, to use the trite cliché, were baffled. The only thing they had in common was that they all played the same game. The MMORPG Elder Tale.
Those investigating with all mundane means at their disposal– bugging, fingerprinting, forensic accounting, serc h and seizure – found nothing. Those investigating magical means found nothing. The White Council of Wizards ruled out the Vampires of the Red Court, the Vampires of the White Court, the Fomor, the Seelie Court, the Unseelie court, and eventually everyone else, up to and including Harry Dresden, who was kinda annoyed they thought he'd be behind it at all, and the Order of the Blackened Denarius, who kind of just smirked like they knew something but weren't telling. In the end, they found nothing and the only conclusion they hadn't managed to rule out, Abduction By Aliens From Outer Space, was because they hadn't found any to ask them questions of.
This means, of course, they were the culprit.
That same years, in a different place, in a different universe, Hiraga Saito was out walking when he suddenly vanished off the face of the Earth, never to be seen again. Authorities, to use the trite cliché, were baffled. The investigated, but eventually had to put it in the pile of cold cases, shaking their heads sadly at yet another young person mysteriosuly vanishing without a trace. The world continued on without him in it.
That same day, Hikkikomori NEET Satou Kazuma left his house for the first time in a week to buy a videogame he preordered, pushed a girl on her way to school in front of a moving garden tractor which stopped just in time, collapsed, passed out and died of a heart attack because he thought he'd been run over by a truck. He was cremated and essentially forgotten, as his parents had given up at that point. The world continued on without him in it too.
In another world, a little off to the side, New York is invaded by aliens for the first time. They are stopped by a World War Two veteran, a Russian spy, a billionaire who makes his own cosplay outfits, a dad with archery for a hobby, the brother of the one who caused this mess and a doctor with anger issues, to avenge a dead guy. They won. Oh, and the dead guy turned out to not really be dead too.
There were more worlds, each just slightly off to the side. In one world, the gods reign, implacable and immaterial, creating a perfectly stable, unchanging garden, their immortal, nigh-invincible demigod apostles roaming the world to prune the garden into shape.
In another, the gods have descended onto the world, forsaking their power and living on the lid over a great and terrible dungeon from which spawned all the monsters of the world.
In a third, immortal adventures of great power roamed the world, changing the very ways of life of the people in it, and seeking to find a way back to their mythical homeland, 'Aiy-Ar-Ehl'.
In still another, a ten-year old boy is a teacher at an all-girl's school.
Two years later, Hiraga Saito returned home, much to the shock of his parents, who'd thought he was already dead, and introduced them to a foreigner girl who turned out to be his wife.
Around the same time, in another world where he had essentially be reincarnated, Satou Kazuma and his party used a one-of-a-kind magical device to go to his world for twelve hours so he could erase all the porn in his computer and not embarrass his parents.
In Tokyo, in the middle of the Ginza district during summer Comket, a temple-like structure began took shape in the middle of an intersection, having gone from a hazily-defined ripple in the air into a solid reality
And in the the bottom of the ocean, at the mouth of the Marianas Trench, a breach into the world tore open…
Had any one of these things happened, there would not, on a cosmic level, been much effect.
Altogether, however, their effects resonated.
The Gate was ripped from the power of a surprised Hardy, the god of the underworld. Even as the god frantically tried to regain control, it warped and twisted, following weaknesses in reality left by passage.
Above the city of London, in the very same spot where a giant Dark Elf space ship had crashed a few years before, students and passersby were extremely surprised to find what looked like a large Roman temple of white marble suddenly appear, its inside seemingly leading into a long, dark tunnel of great depths. Remembering what happened the LAST time something like this showed, and having lived on a childhood of Doctor Who and the concept of 'bigger on the inside', they all proceeded to run like hell as the military mobilized and the Avengers were called.
In the city of Orario, curious and annoyed bystanders wondered who had been tasteless enough to build a generic temple in the middle of the busy intersection in front of the guild office. A flimsy cordon was constructed around it as people bickered about who was supposed to do something about it and who was responsible.
In the post-apocalyptic semi-ruined city of Akihabara, city of Adventurers, curious and annoyed bystanders wondered who had been tasteless enough to build a generic temple in the middle of the busy intersection in front of the guild building. A flimsy cordon was constructed around it and a not-unjustifiably-paranoid combat guild stood guard around it as people bickered about who was supposed to do something about it and who was responsible, and what the Devil In Glasses would evilly do with it.
In the academic city of Mahora, curious and intrigued bystanders wondered who had thought of the cool idea to build a full-sized Roman temple in the middle of the busy intersection in front of the World Tree just before the sports festival. A flimsy cordon was constructed around it as people bickered about who was supposed to do something about it and who was responsible, and what cool CGI and special event was now in store. The teachers were, of course, panicking and wondering who had magicked a temple that seemed to be ominously bigger on the inside in the middle of their nice, normal, mundane school and whether this was Negi-sensei had anything to do with this.
In Halkegenia, curious and annoyed bystanders wondered who had been blasphemously used magic to build an obviously heathen temple outside the school and where the Zero was when you needed something destroyed. An angry crowd grew around it as students muttered self-righteously to each other that they should destroy it as an affront to Brimir while messages were sent to the queen informing her of its sudden appearance.
And in beginner town of Axel, curious and annoyed bystanders wondered who had built a weird temple in the middle of the busy intersection in front of the guild office. A flimsy cordon was constructed around it as people bickered about who was supposed to do something about it and who was responsible. There were many pointed looks at the local representatives of the Axis Cult, who swore in Aqua-sama's name they had nothing to do with it, and if they would just sign this application form joining the Axis cult…
Observant people noticed that Crow Slayer Vanir-san, who was really good at fortune telling, had been pushing a wagon filled with goods out the town gate and seemed to be running as fast as he could, and wondered if there was something there.

I kinda want to see more Puella Magi/Doctor Who fanfics. The thought of what the Doctor would do to the Incubators gives me chills!!!!
Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste. Nice to meet you, hope you can guess my name.
He probably wouldn't do anything. They're not that bad.
What, you think the Doctor would have anything against enigmatic aliens opening the door to adventure to human females? They probably got the idea from him.
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
You really think the Doctor wouldn't flip his shit at the Incubators blatantly using teenage girls as fuel for their own attempts to save the universe?
I must admit, I'd be curious to see the debates between him and Kyuubey, especially since they don't seem to have any morality as we would define it.
He'd inevitably wreck their shit though. It's simple a question of whether he could do it harder then Homura could.

As opposed to dragging them along to save the universe, bereft of cool magic powers and without even so much as a pocket knife or a pressure bandage for sprained ankles to their names?

Fine.
But the difference between the Doctor and the Incubators, is that while both seek to save the universe, and both can end up causing a lot of harm to those who they make contact with....
The Doctor does it by accident, while the Incubators actively seek to harm others as part of their plans. In fact their plan is literally built upon causing emotional pain to those they choose to be magical girls, while the Doctor, while he does have a poor habit of not cleaning up after himself would never purposely harm those around him if they weren't trying to harm others first.
One Strip! One Strip!
I wouldn't mind seeing a Mega Crossover where it shows people's reactions to the Incubators...
I sort of had a War Fic in mind where multiple worlds get into battles over whether or not to even interfere.
