I feel like I could recommend Route 666 for people who like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, except I've only seen one episode of that show so I'm not sure if the comparison works or what caveats to add. I'd love a BtVS fan to give it a try to let me know.

Similarly, I feel like Elementary fans might like Ruse. Female Watson set in a pseudo-Victorian era. No romance. But also magic. Maybe not as great for the case-of-the-week crowd though. Anyone agree?

I don't have anything to say about Crossgen that I haven't said to you before so I'm mostly here to just say <3 <3 <3 you're such a good fan

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not being annoying. :)

OH MY GOODNESS RUUUUUUSE I LOVE RUSE SO MUCH I OWN THE WHOLE RUN AND DREW FANART OF IT A MILLION YEARS AGO

I love Ruse too! It was one of my go-to when I was originally buying the series. I had to keep up with Ruse while it was going on. I was so relieved that it mostly ended in a complete way, unlike Route 666 :(

What did you like best about it?

Oh, Emma by far. She was my favorite. I'm still an Emma/Simon shipper. <.<

Actually, what converted me to the idea of fanfiction being a wonderful thing was a really well-done one that tied up the end of Ruse--answering those big questions regarding Emma's powers and such in a way I found really appropriate to the Crossgen universe! I will always be fond of it.

Did you see the recent miniseries reboot Marvel did? If so, what did you think?

--Miranda

I shipped Emma/Simon too, though I am glad they remained friends-only in the canon. It's refreshing to see a het friendship.

You will have to link me the fic. I haven't really read too much CrossGen fanfiction. I find it's rather hard to find.

I did read the three Marvel comics. It was so long since I read the original Ruse that it was hard to compare the new one to the old one but that one felt the most like the old CrossGen to me.

The Sigil one would've been better called El Cazador because it seemed to have more to do with that than the original Sigil comics (which I love) but I was definitely intrigued by the worldbuilding they had going on. I was bummed by the downer ending, but I would've been happy to read a sequel, so I enjoyed it overall.

I was most disappointed in the Mystic one. Mystic was my jam back in the day. I loved the relationship between the sisters, and they screwed that over in the miniseries. I thought the worldbuilding was a little interesting but I didn't like where they went with the characters, and the drama felt contrived but I chalk some of that up to the limited run.

How about you? Did you like them?

Here's the fic! It's called Case Closed. (It does have my ship in it, sorry.)

I admit, my knowledge of Crossgen is limited almost entirely to Ruse. (I was interested also in Meridian, but by that point Crossgen had gone under and I was unable to find volume three, I think, so there was never any closure. I don't suppose you know how far it got, or if it got to close at all satisfactorily?)

Also, I admit I wasn't a big fan of the reboot. <.< I think by that point, it had just been too long a time, and I felt that Emma was being positioned as a more traditional "badass," which I thought was unnecessary.

--Miranda

I loved Meridian. If you read the first 2 volumes (I assume the graphic novels?), then you read the first 14 issues? There were something like 40 and I did read them all. It didn't close completely. There were completed arcs along the way though. I think Sephie was still separated from Meridian during those first 2 volumes (if memory serves) and she does reunite with them.

My recollection of where it ends. *spoiler* Sephie has gone off into unknown territory following a journey her mom and dad made looking for allies against Ilahn (who everyone thinks she killed but she knows she didn't). Jad fell from Meridian and everyone thinks he died but he actually survived. So, it ends with Sephie still searching and not knowing Jad is alive. It's not really closure in that we're left hanging about those two but I don't remember Sephie being in a huge predicament in the last issue. I think she was just exploring this abandoned island, and Jad had just secured a promise to get him back home. It didn't leave me wanting the way Route 666 did.

I have heard the plans for how Negation War was going to go down and how Emma/Simon and Sephie were going to be used in that if you're interested.
