'''''The Dynamite Twins and Friends''''' is a media franchise and shared fictional universe created by [[Jordann William Edwards]]. It consists of three individual franchises: '''The Dynamite Twins''', '''Dragon Mages''', and '''Fae of Avalon'''.

'''The Dynamite Twins''' focuses on a pair of twin foxes with supernatural abilities, and depicts them hanging out with their friends.

== Background ==
The concept for the Twins was created back in 2008. Edwards stated that he was heavily inspired by Crash Bandicoot, as well as various 80s and 90s memorabilia. Much of the characters he creates are based on the people around him. Musically, he was influenced by hip hop, R&B, country, EDM, and punk.<ref name="VIDEO">[https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=r1KU6BefOOc How I Came Up With The Dynamite Twins], YouTube.</ref>

Later on, Edwards expanded the world these characters inhabit, creating a kid-friendly sister series, called ''[[Bunny and Bear]]''.

Recently, he's formed a story group called Critterton Concepts, where he and other creative people work to create new stories for the Twins. Around that time, he's also emphasized the supernatural/mythological aspects.

== Characters ==
=== The main six ===
* '''Jackson "Jacqui" Coleman''' is a [[red fox]], and is Maxie's twin brother. He is a "fire elemental".
* '''Maxwell "Maxie" Coleman''' is a [[red fox]], and is Jacqui's twin brother. He is a "water elemental".
* '''Rodger Memphis Mouse''' is a [[mouse]] who is the Twins' "best friend". He is a notorious pickup artist and is very perverted.
* '''Shirley Marie Squirrel''' is the Twins' neighbour and close friend. A flying [[squirrel]], she looks towards the brighter side of things.
* '''Carmine Reindeer''' is a [[Deer|reindeer]] who runs a bar/nightclub in Critterton. She considers herself an "ethical slut" and a "team mom" to the rest of the five.
* '''Blackmask''' is a [[cat]] from Oakland who works at Carmine's Club. She's best described as a "slutty big sister" to the Twins. She was created by Craig Black, but he and Edwards were discussing an alternative backstory as the former was winding down his own story.

=== Major characters ===
* '''Derek Bremmer''' is a young [[Labrador Retriever]] and a good friend of Maxie. He works as a police officer for the Critterton police department.
* '''Ritchie Q. Muttley''' is a [[Dog|mutt]] from the East Coast who's a bit of a nerd. He's also a homosexual.
* '''Moonzie''' is a mysterious merfox who is a surrogate sister to the Twins.
* '''Sedrik the Mutt''' is the resident DJ at Carmine's Club. He's also a member of PurpleSkies and formerly worked with the Field Marshals.

===Minor characters===
* '''Shamrock''' is a dog from Dublin. She loves the arts and is a bit of a naturalist.
* '''Terri Lepori''' is a [[Rabbit|bunny]] from Italy who is pretty athletic.

== Critterton Concepts ==
'''Critterton Concepts''' is a team of writers, illustrators, and producers who develop stories for the franchise. Its members include:
* [[Fox-Jake|Jacob Elmer]]
* [[Craig Black]]
* Kamal Walker
* Kit Knightwood
* Diante Littles

=== The franchise ===
The world of TDT has expanded into a universe of connected stories. The Dynamite Twins alone consists of:
* Brotherhood Legacy trilogy
* Life in Critterton
* TDT Legends
* Nightmare in Critterton

==Music==
Music plays a vital role in the ''TDT'' world. The following musical acts were created specifically for the franchise.
===PurpleSkies===
PurpleSkies is a six-piece band consisting of the Twins, Shirley, Blackmask, Rodger, and Sedrik the Mutt.
===The Field Marshals===
The '''Field Marshals''' were a Punk/Metal/Rapcore band from San Francisco. After the death of their co-founder, the band went their separate ways. Its members were:
* '''East Bay Jay''' is a cat and the lead singer/lead guitarist for the band. He was also the biological father of Blackmask.
* '''Killa Keith''' is a buff [[panther]], and the co-vocalist/bassist for the band. He was originally from Los Angeles.
* '''Terry''' is a [[German Shepherd]] and the band's rhythm guitarist. He is the youngest member of the band.
* '''Bobby''' is a [[Fennec Fox]] and the drummer. She is the only female member.

==Criticism and changes in story==
Beginning in late 2014 and early 2015, the comic began getting heavily criticized, claiming that it has the trappings of a bad webcomic. Reviews on Tapatalk.com stated that "the character designs were lazy and look alike", that the comic "relies too much on lazy pop culture/internet meme references, and the creator has bad taste in music."

In 2017, after being slammed by some of his friends because of the aforementioned forum, Jordann Edwards began to rewrite the entire franchise to make his work more original and the characters well rounded. This culminated in a reboot that coincides with a milestone - 2018 marks ten years since the concept's creation. The first story that would have been released in this new era is entitled ''My House is Your House'', co-written by Craig Black, creator of ''[[Space Pirate Captain MacTaggart]]''.
Edwards has also been getting occasional help from his longtime friend and fellow cartoonist, [[Fox-Jake|Jacob Elmer]], on developing new characters and new stories.

After much reflection, Edwards decided to start from scratch, redeveloping storylines and typing up outlines for other authors willing to tackle them. He has been raising funds for a film project based on his ''Brotherhood Legacy'' concept.
