It featured an international crew going into space, each one of them a stereotype that kept on reminding the audience on their nationality. The hero? A studly American. The villain? A weasley French. The red herring villain? Russian. The first to die, and a pompous prideful old scientist? British. The main conflict was between an Israeli and his mentor, who was secretly the son of a Nazi.
I don't remember anywhere that it says that a fairy's first transformation is based on emotional reasons. I even tried confirming this with the wiki for Winx club. A girl can either be trained to become a Witch or a Fairy, so it isn't as simple as that. Case in point is Mirta, who starts off as a Witch and transfers to Alfea so she can learn to be a Fairy instead. I also have to wonder if someone can become a Fairy without knowing what a Fairy is or believing in them

Are you freaking kidding me? ANOTHER obnoxious, snarky "let's tear down someone else's fanfiction because we're obviously experts who know the cannon and characters better than anyone else" site? Ugh
Writers WRITE. Writers create. Writers sometimes make mistakes, yes, which is why we have beta readers and the ability to leave reviews and make suggestions.
These kinds of sites do nothing but tear down others' hard work. And you're attacking from the anonymity of the internet, which makes it an even more childish and cowardly act. I bet your mothers are all very proud. :-p
Actually my mother is very proud of my courage. I am in the army afterall.
It is like I said before, this is not the purpose of this journal. I am quite positive that if you go to faqs or search around on another page, you will find a mission statement of some sort.

Anon's right. You can't expect something to work this easily when it is this new. Especially crossovers. Until the verse is truly explored, and the connection between verses established, there is practically no way to tell how a character is going to work in the verse. So many known stories explore multitalents; why can't this one? If you didn't concentrate on the character who had something special, you wouldn't have a story

Actually my first reaction was being reminded of that MST3k episode with "12 to the Moon"

Actually, no... no it isn't. See above above.
For argument's sake let us take this to a PM.
