Television Crossover Universe

I was going to put this all in the top of the Die Hard post, but then I thought, if you're clicking on Die Hard, you want to read about Die Hard.  So here's some announcements.... January 10 we are celebrating the 8th anniversary of this website.  I don't have anything special planned this year.  This past year was a tough year for me, and I'm just starting to really get back into my routine.  But also, this November is actually the 40th anniversary of Super Entertainment.  Started in 1979 as a fake comic book company, and the umbrella for everything I wrote (starting when I was six years old), when this website was created, Super Comics turned into Super Entertainment and became a real thing that puts out real things, for instance, this website, the Television Crossover Universe book series, which started with Television Crossover Universe:  Worlds and Mythology Volume I, and two podcasts, the Television Crossover Universe Podcast, and Super Entertai...

First, there's of course, monetary donations.  There are a few ways you can contribute money, and to which project you will support. At the top of our sidebar, there is a donate button.  The money donated there goes towards funding the website. We also have crowdfunding for the podcast.   You can contribute to the podcast here.

I don't do well with change. This crossovers thing started off as a hobby.  It was a bunch of notes in a pile of 5-subject notebooks.  I mostly kept these notes to myself.  Occasionally, I would bore a friend or family member with them. When the technology became available, I started moving my notes from notebooks to word documents.  But they were still my private notes, created from research that I usually conducted late at night when I couldn't sleep. When the social media age came about, I used the MySpace blog to share some of my weird ideas about crossovers.  They weren't well read, and they were hard to reference in archives. But one person did seem to find my MySpace blog, because Win Scott Eckert, whose website I had been addicted to for years, contacted me and sent me an invite to join a group of likeminded individuals.
