Proposal: A Crisis On Infinite Blogs

It's not often that I have ideas I desperately want people to notice. In no small part is this because my usual ideas involve me doing something monumentally stupid to entertain myself or my peers. However, this isn't one of those times. This is the time to throw my hat into the comics blogging ring with an idea that's probably occurred to people more often than not (in fact I'm fairly sure that I've gotten this idea from others in the past bringing it up, but I can't entirely remember).

A collaborative blog formed of writers from other blogs, with the intention of creating epic group posts that achieve more than any writer alone could manage (in that it's varied viewpoints or pieces all combined into one uber-post).

A Justice League of Bloggerdom, if you will. For a Crisis On Infinite Blogs.

Now, there are in fact flaws to this. Some comics blogs obviously had multiple contributors anyway and could well achieve the same results as this with their own collective staff. I hope that this issue is subverted by the fact that the people involved could all diversify the Crisis On Infinite Blog posts by bringing their own unique angles and talents that have in fact made their own blogs different from the next.

I'm stumbling over the concept here (which is hopefully an indication of my own difference from other bloggers by being a rambling buffoon), so let's see if it makes more sense by involving a twitter topic that came up from Primewax and JLAvenger earlier today due to the big DC staff announcement:

(twitter account names are used for convenience)

The basic idea was that Primewax and JLAvenger had become the head co-publishers at Marvel, what changes they'd make and such. This grew to include Cyclopsfan1 and myself, who were put in charge of the X-titles and All-Ages titles respectively. We then all proceeded to lay out our plans for new titles and changes in staff and characters in our respective areas (with Primewax taking on the cosmic titles as well, I hasten to add) and indeed in conjunction with each other.

Now, if this were put into a post, with us all detailing our thoughts and plans, collaborating and utilising each other's ideas to further our own, we'd have one of the most comprehensive, interesting and even potentially humourous posts possible, with each section of the post having it's own defined voice brought about by the multitude of bloggers we'd have in on the article.

It'd require a heck of a lot of communication between the collaborators, but that's the sort of thing the internet is tailor-made for, as we all well know.

The content would of course be agreed upon and stay in the realm of epic posts that are enhanced by this sort of massive undertaking and people that would be involved, and people can drop in or out as the project continues.

It's a pretty solid idea that would help promote everyone involved in their personal endeavours and give us all something different to do compared to our usual work on our own blogs/journals/sites/etcetera.

So hopefully this idea has intrigued you (and why wouldn't it? I mean you've probably come up with this long before me and are wondering why I'm failing to make it sound amazing when you could probably do far better!) and you'll either show your interest here, on my twitter, or by my e-mail ( noodleslovesyou@hotmail.co.uk ) and we'll be able to get this conceptual ball rolling!

Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll hear from some of you fellow bloggers.
