Cracked.com has a nice article that features our own podcast panelist J.R. Cracked focused on six fan ideas that were so good that were adopted by the creators. They spotlight JR’s article about how Gwen was seduced by Norman Osborn. Check out the Cracked article and then read JR’s original article. Good job buddy!

We really should do a poll of the visitors to the site and ask “How did you find the site?” If “I was reading SpideyKicksButt.com and saw a link for it” is not #1 or in the top five I will be very surprised.
@-#16-I was the same
@15: Aah, that Mary Jane essay is just wonderful! My first introduction to JR, Spidey Kicks Butt and then in turn, the Crawlspace! 🙂
That was such a great article! JR’s original I mean. Loved it so much that I went on to read the 3 part Mary Jane one. Congrats, Madgoblin.
Fans are better at keeping continuity. Creators should consult them more often. Didn’t Mark Millar consult the folks at spiderfan.org for his 12-parter? What would it take for Marvel to consult JR, Bertone, and Spideydude? Seriously…
Congrats JR!
Wait wait wait… Marvel took JR’s explanation… AND MADE IT OFFICIAL?!?!?!?
600,000+ views. If it hasn’t happened already, we’ll soon reach a point where more people will read about JR’s Sins Past theory on cracked than will have read Sins Past.
@JR: I think you win.
Way to go Jr! The article implies you barely escaped a restraining order!
Nice one.
Just came from there, it’s so great to see him acknowledged, he certainly deserves it. Congrats, JR!!!
Nice. Congrats JR.
Wahoo!
I knew Fettinger was ‘cracked’ a long, long time ago. 8)
It’s official. According to Cracked.com, J.R. is in Nerd Heaven.
Well done!
oh dear god…I guess I don’t have to be insanely jealous of Spideydude because Peter David copped his idea about a Spidey/JJJ confrontation post the unmasking then do I?
Way to go JR!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks to Mister Mets for the heads up.
