First page of an interdimensional crossover. Jon from the Needverse has an encounter with an AU counterpart, and is relieved to find someone who understands exactly what his Stephen can be like....




Also here on DA (which will have links to the rest).

THIS.

I have no words.

[erinptah]

Whee.

*works on page 5*

ALL of the Jons' expressions are perfect, I especially love the giggling and the double spittake ^_^ Last frame is the stuff dreams are made of XD I can't wait to see what happens next!

[erinptah]

Fwahahahaha.

It only gets crazier from here on out....

[sirdrakesheir.livejournal.com]

OOOH.

I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS.

[erinptah]

I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT YOU WILL LIKE IT.

BUT I SHALL SAY NO MORE.

MY GUESS IS KINKY SEX Y/Y/OF COURSE

I MEAN I STILL REMEMBER THIS INITIAL CONVERSATION

[erinptah]

WELL, NATURALLY.

THERE HAS TO BE KINKY SEX BEFORE THE ACTUAL STORY CAN GET UNDERWAY.

[sirdrakesheir.livejournal.com]

WOW, KINKY SEX AND A PLOT

SIGN ME UP

[erinptah]

THIS THING IS RIDICULOUSLY PLOTTY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Honestly, the kinky sex is mostly there as a flimsy pretext to get to the plot. And you have no idea how gleeful that arrangement makes me.

ALSO

I C WHAT YOU DID THERE

WHERE YOU PLACED THE JONS

CLEVER GIRL

[erinptah]

What, the left-versus-right thing? Oh, that is only the tip of the iceberg, you have no idea.

*resists urge to brag about upcoming parallel narrative segments*

[shoebox_addict]

Bwahahaha!! I love this! The meeting of the two Stephens! Epic! XD

[erinptah]

Thank you!

[stellar-dust.livejournal.com]

BRILLIANCE!

[erinptah]

:D :D :D

[seagullsong.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I want more of this as badly as Glenn Beck wants to wake up from his horrible, horrible dream about Obama being president. Seriously, it makes me ridiculously happy.

Ooo, can I try to call a plot point? These Jons totally haven't figured out that they're not both the subs/doms in their relationships. There will be hilarious confusion. I see your carefully ambiguous dialog there, missy!

(Guess you can't tell me if I'm right, though. Wait and see.)

[erinptah]

Thank you~!

Haha, I can definitely tell you that you're right. Thus why sub!Jon is so impressed that the other Jon isn't freaking out about the idea of whips.

Although they will all be a bit distracted from working it out by the way the Stephens viscerally and vocally hate each other on sight...

[seagullsong.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I bet they would, too! They're only the physical manifestations of the part of themselves they each hate and repress. Suit!Stephen, meet yourself. Except he's not always afraid of seeming weak, so he's not always angry. Liberal!Stephen, meet yourself. Except he's not always afraid of hurting people, so he can stand up for himself.

Did I mention how extremely happy this makes me?

[erinptah]

Ohhhh, yes. Each of them has become so screwed up largely by being terrified of becoming the other, and thus running as far as possible in the opposite direction.

So much geeky characterization-meta potential...assuming, of course, they don't just get bogged down in the kinky sex part...(that's not really a spoiler, isn't it? Everyone sees that coming, right?)

[seagullsong.livejournal.com]

At this point, I think all of us would hate you if you didn't go there. XD

JK. But can I ask when we'll get mooooaaar?

[erinptah]

Oh, I wouldn't drop the ball there, believe me.

I'm producing these very sporadically, so I can't say for sure. I'm thinking one every couple of days, or maybe one a week.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

O.O

[erinptah]

♥

[wishflower4.livejournal.com]

THIS IS GOING TO BE BRILLIANT.

(Also, I want hippie-Stephen's shirt. Preeeety.)

[erinptah]

Here's hoping!

(Ooh, that reminds me - the pattern is from here.)

[inspirine.livejournal.com]

OH, LORD. I LOVE THIS ALREADY. ♥

[erinptah]

THIS BODES WELL. :3

[sarcasticsra]

THIS IS AMAZING.

YOU ARE AWESOME.

I LOVE THIS AND I WANT MORE.

THAT IS ALL.

[erinptah]

♥ ♥ ♥

*goes back to working on page 6*

[jmie.livejournal.com]

... I want to hug you so hard right now. ♥ It's hilarious and really nicely done, your parody strip, and oh, there it goes again, my ability to actually make sense when you've posted something new. Oh, happy day!

All right, let me sa that I just love the Jons' wide-eyed shock in the second-to-last panel. I think that was nicely done. Equally honorable mentions include: Jon-on-the-left's open mouth at the mention of whips and capturing Jon's giggle with Jon-on-the-right. THat is to say nothing about how each Stephen has clutched their Jon as if to say, "Okay, Jon, now let's back away from the scary man hovering over your friend."

You've done beautiful work with this. :)

[erinptah]

Thank you!

Everything with symmetry is fun in this series. The Jons are so similar...and yet. The Stephens are complete opposites...and yet.

More to come~!

[canadian-plant.livejournal.com]

This looks like it's gonna be fuuuun~ :-D

[erinptah]

I know I'm enjoying it X3
