I have a question! *dun dun duuuun*

Being about to embark on my first multi-chaptered crossover fic (I've done one before which was The Hitchhikers Guide//Anita Blake, but that was a one-shot), I ask ya'll:

Do you like crossovers? What is it about crossovers that you like/dislike? What fandoms were in your favourite?

Personally I love them when they are with two fandoms that make sense; I read an amazing Harry Potter//X-Men crossover, but with the same token I read a Twilight//Green Street Hooligans crossover that made me want to die - it physically hurt, I swear...

I like them because they show that the author has put a lot of thought into them, and it can combine two favourite fandoms in a new, original way.

HP/xmen does sound interesting. To me, it would have to be done very well though, because even though those two things are also one of my fave mediums, well, smashing them together could be like just making an excuse to put them together because one likes them (especially if the story would have sucked).

Generally I don't mind them, as long as they make sense. In RPing, it is more common to see though, and that I take liberty to.

Depends on if it's well-written. I've read many pitiful attempts at crossovers, so I try to stay as far away as I can from them.

Going to have to agree with dotKarma. If they're good or otherwise cracky, yes. If not, it can go horribly, horribly wrong. Basically, if they're good, then it's interesting to see how the two (or more) fandoms play off each other and actually fit together... or, alternatively, how they totally don't. Additionally, crossovers have the potential of being cracky or otherwise answer the interesting question of, "What if X was in Y?" However, all too often, authors choose two fandoms that are completely incompatible and, rather than try to honor that and use it to make the story more interesting, they simply mesh things together in a sloppy soup, usually by completely ignoring the original canon of one or the other. For example, there's the ever-popular Naruto-and-friends-are-Pokémon-trainers concept that's pretty much actually a whole pile of, "These are original characters who just happen to have the same names and look somewhat like these other characters." In other words, you're dealing with multiple fandoms, and you just have to make an effort to remember that when writing a crossover.

As for favorite fandoms, there was a fic on a long and pretty dead site that I loved and (even though looking back on it, its language use was pretty horrific) still think is awesome in terms of concepts was a Sailor Moon/Pokémon crossover in which Jessie and Misty turned out to be Sailor Scouts (Sailor Comet and Sailor Nereid, respectively) who were awakened because Malachite kidnapped the main Scouts. It was full of sparklies.

Other than that, there's this, which is a crossover between The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who that just worked and was probably the best tribute-to-a-dead-celebrity fic I've ever read.
Professional ninja. May or may not actually be back. Here for the snark and banter at most.

No, no matter how good they are written, I just do not like them. I don't really know why.
Pair: pairless
Family: none
I also probably wouldn't be your pair/family member unless I know you :O Shocking!

I myself started a Star Wars/Pokemon crossover where a Lucario got dropped on Naboo because Palkia went nuts and started playing with space. Then we had the whole Force/Aura thing, but it was so not working, so meh.

On the other hand, I came across a Star Wars/High School Musical crossover on ff.net. I didn't open it; it was scary. But if anyone here can write one of those well, I will get down on my knees and worship you as a god.

I'd surmise it would be pretty easy, all you need is a lot of singing, with teen drama, and add in Pokemon, as though a commodity.

I remember seeing a Pocahontas/Pokemon cross over a while ago, I never read it, but was too scared to do so.

Could you take that back? I'm pretty sure society just fell off a ten story building and died. What do the two have in common at all?

That's the worrying thing. Approach only with caution, and take all that protective gear I made you lug around when you went to Serebii.

Oh, well I actually ran into the exterminator when I was on my way to the Serebii Fanfic area, so I just decided to not bother there for a while until the storm passed.

It's like Rule 34, Feign, except with crossovers.

Think Iggle Piggle with Final Fantasy. That would be mental.

They can so easily go wrong, and I do like to see plausible explanations for the crossovers, which often lends itself to one of the fandoms being dominant. However, if done well, they can be a very interesting read. ^^

Of course. Hell, if you know what fandom they're from, you're awesome. If you know in what context, you're almost as awesome as I am.
