Crossovers are awesome. They are the true fruit of fanfiction (after OTPs of course). For those of you who aren’t aware, crossovers are when you take two different fandoms and mash their worlds together, coming up with a combined universe with elements of both fandoms. Now crossovers can come in many shapes and sizes. They can come in references:
Or they can come from a comment on a picture:
Or they can be a complete mash-up of two fandoms, creating a completely new universe that makes you want to kidnap a writer to write this just so you get it out of your damn head-
Or just write it yourself (which is honestly sometimes half the fun):
The best part is that no crossover is the same. Every single one is different, because every person creating them is different. I enjoy every crossover I find, and I love writing them even more. I can’t describe how much fun it is to take two completely different worlds and find a way to make them fit together, not just so it sounds plausible (because there is nothing worse than a complete and utter OOC fanfic) but so the essence of both worlds can be reflected in your piece, but at the same time grow from the original worlds. They can be anything from funny to sad, somber to joyful.
And then there’s the just plain racey:
But let’s be honest, there’s always one fandom you just can’t help but look up in the M-rated section. It’s just so much better that way.
