Well, since I’m extremely bored at the peak of the morning, having to recently finished my sig and, earlier on, the second and final part of Chapter Two of my fan fic, I thought I might as well do something ‘productive’ rather than continue sit around daydreaming.
This is where I’ll post all the ‘behind the scenes’ of all my work, especially for my Young Generation fan fic. Since that was situated in a TV series format, this thread fits suitably well for it.
As with most ‘behind-the-scenes’ featurette, it is always began with a montage of clips that lets you get an insight into the workpiece first, so…

Incredibles: Young Generation - Beyond The Adventure
To understand the origins of this improbable crossover, one has to go back to the time when this thread-starter was in the Seventh Grade, more or less. A younger, innocent child filled with extreme boredom as I was today let his imagination ran wild during what was probably an important lesson. However, in his own little dream world, WBoon, through his fascination of dinosaurs, sketched out a chimeric creature on a simple piece of paper that would soon become an essential character in his future artworks, both literal and graphical.
Part 1 - Humble Origins
It was bulkier than the Chimera Kid I had described in Incredibles Sequel, the story where he made his first debut. It was originally a huge monstrous creature, with horns of Triceratops, a long slender neck of an Ultrasaurus (considered by me back then to be the tallest animal there ever was), armored scutes and a club tail of an Ankylosaurus, and on the club that was at the edge of its equally spike-filled tail, long, protruding spikes stuck out along its bony surface like those of a Stegosaurus.
Basically, it was composed of many dinosaur body parts. It was supposed to be the ultimate fighter. But, of course, that soon changed to something… grander.
Upon returning to my interest of Digimon in later years, I soon gave it a name. “Beastmon” was the name of its pre-evolved form; GreyBeastmon was its name, obviously inspired from the ever renowned Greymon. I even went as far as modifying it during classes. I was totally obsessed with it. I gave it metallic armor in its more advanced, evolved forms; rocket launchers (which I had considered to be the most powerful weapon there was then) even, a lot of cool stuff.
Come 2004, The Incredibles arrived. My, I remember clutching to that sticker album, printing those screenshots of Violet just to look at her a little more… ahem, anyway. With her arrival, the obsession - and creation - grew.
Originally, I had only paired her up with the only imaginable person I could pair her up with; Kudo Shinichi, my other favorite character. Those good old days were glorious. I was already picturing the couple in the various TV shows I like. I had him acting as Beast Boy in Teen Titans, her as Starfire, then it even went further till their childhood, where he played the role of Tommy from, you guess it, the Rugrats. 
So, the coupling went on and on. I was imagining all of such scenes with those two characters in it while I was watching hundreds of TV shows day and night. It was… heh, really something.
During the times when I had Kudo played the role of Beast Boy, I also gave him the personality of Robin, too, as well as the interactions he exchanged with Starfire. Before long, I started to relate “Beastmon” with “Kudo the ‘Beast Boy’.”
Eventually, jumping all the way to 2008, Akai Tanner was born. I couldn’t really destroy the chronology of my favorite anime, so I thought a separate character was much more fitting. He was probably a combination of all the male characters I love; Cartoon Network’s Beast Boy’s (their version is much more different than the comic book version) sense of humor, Shinichi’s intelligence (of course), and Taichi Yagami’s thick-headed attitude and leadership skills.
With all of such contradicting traits in his ill-tempered persona, he’s a really unique character, I would say. He’s not incredibly smart to start with, but as he grows more mature and as he put away his ego, he would be able to think more clearly, as you shall see in future stories.
That, of course, meant great news for Violet Parr; bad ones for Tony Rydinger.
After that, as they say, is history. The Incredibles Sequel fan fic is born, followed by the major crossover between my two favorites; Digimon Adventure (never really liked the later seasons) and The Incredibles, Young Generation.
Well, it’s 6:15 AM, and my eyes are getting heavy, so I’m going to rest them for a while. I’ll share my experiences about my first fan fic in Pixar Planet forums - at another time.
Till then, feel free to comment and inquire.
This is WBoon, signing off.
