Hello!
So, first, reintroductions are in order. I'm Curt, AKA Ingonyama (or 'Yama for short), the author of the Joint Venture Universe. I've been an X-Men fan since 1993, and have a particular obsession with the original Chris Claremont era. Most of the rest of my Marvel love comes from the various television shows, cartoons, and video games, and of course, the MCU.
A couple of years ago, I began adding Wiki pages on Earth-JV, the universe of X-Men: Joint Venture, a fanfic I've been mentally writing since roughly the mid-2000s. The basic premise, as suggested by the name, is the same as the story "What if Magneto and Professor X Had Formed the X-Men Together?". However, everything outside of that premise is my own idea, resulting in a reworking of nearly the entirety of Earth-JV from the ground up. It's also a great deal gayer. Sorry, not sorry.
The Joint Venture Universe category is an outline in Wiki form, a database from which I can draw information while simultaneously presenting my ideas for the scrutiny of the Fanon community. As such I welcome feedback in all forms (except for bigotry, which will cheerfully be ignored).
Now, those people on the Marvel Fanon wiki who know of this project (which I assume you do if you've gotten this far) may have noticed a long drought in new Joint Venture content. This is not because I've given up on the project - i have not - but because I am trying to give some structure to it.
Up until now, Joint Venture has been a free-form, stream-of-consciousness project - I write entries as they come to me with little care or consideration regarding their importance to the story proper. This is how, say, an entry for the WW2-era Black Widow came about before one on Exodus (the JV X-Men's archenemy and advocate for mutant supremacy in Magneto's place).
Real life also interferes with the creative process. I suffer from several mental health issues, which have been exacerbated by the events of the past year-and-change. (TL;DR: 2020 sucked worse when you already had depression/anxiety issues to begin with.)
But I want to stress that I am not giving up on this project. Rather, I want to form it into something tangible, even if that something is just the SCP-Foundation-style collection of Wiki articles that it exists as now. I really enjoy writing these, and receiving feedback on them. More will be coming as I recover enough from this past hell-year to write more of it.
If you made it to the end of this extended ramble, congratulations! And thank you. And I'm sorry.
More of Joint Venture is coming soon. Thanks for being patient.
