Aside from that, the main overarching tale is of a young fellow who has to adapt to a new world of knockoffs and odd characters surrounding him, hopping universes to make friends along the way to team up and defeat a washed up icon turned grand villain overlord hellbent on taking over the entire realm of fiction. In doing this, our protagonist discovers more about himself, gains new courage and strengths, and fights for the acceptance of himself and those around him, showing the world that even bootleg characters are kind souls with complex motivations.
("Wow, an isekai self-insert crossover fanfiction. Could you be any more cringe???" Perhaps. Maybe.)
(With all apologies, I understand this one's much shorter than the rest. It will probably be replaced with a better description once I develop this series more.)
Leaping Man answers the question, “what if Mario’s game re-releases were handled by a company who hacked and poorly preserved it to the point of being unrecognizeable?” Amnesiac half-brothers (their true relation isn’t fully known), Manfred and Stanford, travel the fictional countryside of Green Land amidst a world of eerily generic monsters, later more eerie artificial ones, to discover more about their true identities and the world around them.
In reality, it’s a series mostly comprised of playable ROM hacks made as personal vent pieces, protesting various acts of awful acts of commercialism getting in the way of game preservation efforts in recent years, environmental issues, among other things that bug me at that moment in time (notoriously to spit in the face of a certain company and its actions). It’s not subtle at all, and frankly it’s best like that.
Urban Champion is a fan series based upon the classic Famicom/NES title of the same name. It’s a more “slice of life”-focused story with elements of taking down the evils in your way with not much more than your fists. It focuses on two college students, dudes who have been best friends since elementary school, tackling on the challenges college and career experiences throw their way.
The series is meant to focus on the lives of more obscure Nintendo characters and properties, aiming to create a video game-based fan work that's familiar but fresh and maybe a little cheesy.
Somari the Adventurer is a fan series that focuses on everybody's favorite speedy red guy of the same name. While Somari is already quite involved with JYniverse, this spinoff aims to focus more on his and his friends' own adventures.
(This is another one of those ones that I feel I haven't developed as much. Apologies for that. I'm still trying to figure out what I want the vibe of the series to be like. It could just be a mix of the two older Sonic cartoons, where I take most inspiration from in this spinoff.)

LuigiWatching was a Twitter gimmick account, made to document the whereabouts of 8-bit Luigis and other pixelated characters in Nintendo games from the Wii U and Switch. The account itself is now defunct, but its media archive can be viewed still.
It also involved a loosely told story, featuring the account's operator studying and documenting encounters with a mysterious race of extra-terrestrial specimen, the Pixilians. Their motives aren't fully known, but they can be seen stalking from afar or found in hiding spots you least expect, with a wide array of supernatural abilities. You may even find them hiding in plain sight! Maybe they could even be in your own world!
This project ended up being shelved from a lack of motivation to continue working on it. Hidden 8-bit Luigis do still show up in works of mine from time to time, however.
