I'm definately in my friend! I've got the crossover fanfic bug bad!

Sadly I've sworn off writing anything but my massively urgent project for the next 3 weeks but then I shall take on any and all challenges, giggling manically whilst I do it!

PS where can I read this award winning Highlander fic? Enquiring minds want to know!

hey you,
just wanted to say i think this is a great idea,( although crossovers not generaly my sort of thing) and im really hoping to see more SS (Serenity Sumer) projects appearing soon.
the comptition/prize thingy idea, is also great.

There really should be an awards system for allFirefly fic's kinda a hugh reckonized thing with awards for different generas (action/romanace/comedy/canon/noncanon/slash/au/CROSSOVERS etc)
Im sure i heard there was such a thing, but that it has since faded into the black never to be heard from again.
so.
This is my plea for some one to re-ignite ffffawards, hey it could even be worked through this site, (given correct permission and such)

Hmm idea's bubbling away now, maybe it could be worked as a ss project...

Ok so anyway
i stumbled of the point of this thread.

but hey its a bump anyway.
so
Go crossover writers.

Well there were the Strawberry awards but I was a) dissapointed in the very few fics nominated for the crossover section and b) very upset that the site didn't seem to be well constructed. It was hard to navigate and it wouldn't let me place any votes. I've not heard any winners announced. Seems like a great idea that's fallen into inactivity.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I'm a huge Potter fan, and I'm a decent writer, but I have... NO idea... how that would work.
The only successful crossover fic I ever wrote was Sliders. That has a built-in way for the characters to get into another world, so it was easy. I've never been able to work any others.
Cheers to those who can and do and will try!

Malcom Reynolds and Big Huckin' Chicken team up to fight The Burger King and Mayor McCheese who are mindlessly following orders from the bewitchingly beautiful Saffron. As if this wasn't bad enough, out of nowhere, the Hamburgaler really ups the stakes as he shows Saffron that he would steal the sky for her when he carjacks Serenity and takes it through Reaver territory with Ronald McDonald as a hood ornament. Will this deadly love triangle prove to much for our heros or will they be eating (like) kings, riding high on Serenity and making Saffron part of their "Big Buckin McMalcom Saffron Sandwich"?

Lots of guns, motorcycles, explosions and enough "special" sauce to get all yer juices flowin'. Might want to put the kids to bed before watching this one.

I'd also like to read that one too! I used to like Sliders (before it slid!)

I'm toying with the idea of a Quantum Leap crossover - also ideal for such situations (with some minor tweaking)

I have actually read an interesting if not totally convincing Harry Potter Firefly crossover! I would have approached it a difernt way. There's that interesting Veil into who knows where that could be explored.

Most crossover plot devices are a bit cliched, the alternate/ parellel universes, the magical portals, devine interventions etc.
Still, even an idea that you've seen before, it treated with imagination and enthusiasm can be very entertaining and bring in original elements.

Whilst some crossover does make me cringe (as much as I want to introduce much loved characters to each other I do feel need at least some explanation to be able to suspend my disbelief. It annoys me when someone tries to leap straight in to a mixed storyline, as a fait accomplis, seems lazy to me) I am a hopeless addict as I have found some increadibly imaginative stuff in this genre. I do love to try to think up ideas for how to make the most unlikely crossovers work (but I don't always write them!).

I want suggestions for crazy crosses for my brain to mull over! Come on, which insane half-breeds should never see the light of day! I want to put on my mad scientists coat and create some hidiously enjoyable mutation!

The Sliders crossover story I wrote was years and years ago. It was actually a friend of mine who suggested it; she wanted to see Sliders in the Hitchhikers Guide universe for some strange reason. It was very odd. I don't know that I even have it anymore

Sorry!
I wish Sliders hadn't died. Didn't that also run on Fox? Damn! (I know it came back, but it was never the same!)

Yeah, Sliders ran on Fox first. It was yet another great show that we can blame it's premature death on Fox.... along with Firefly, Arrested Development, Family Guy (twice), and Roar!.... anybody remember that one? Roar was a great show, although it was never wrapped up with a movie that tied up the lose ends.

Never saw Roar, no. Let's not forget Dark Angel; I only saw a bit of it, but it looked pretty good, and then it was just gone. I'm sure there are many I'm not remembering.
Did they cancel Family Guy a second time? Bastards!

Spread the Signal through fanfiction channels by writing Cross-Over fanfiction; Preferably the BEST cross-over fanfic we can manage!

This is a novel idea! (No pun intended.)

I'm currently tackling a Doctor Who/Firefly crossover. Essentially, it's Doctor Who-centric. The Doctor (David Tennant) and Rose (Billie Piper) find themselves in the Firefly universe, and get themselves into a bit of a pickle.

The premise of Who and Firefly are subtley weaved into the narrative. So Doctor Who fans will be able to understand the the world of Firefly and vice versa. (If they have never watched it.)

I think this is an ideal method of 'spreading the signal'. Originally, I was just going to submit this story to the fan fic archive here, but I'd be happy to use it for a good cause.

I've been tinkering with a One-Shot BSG/Firefly crossover. The premise; unimportant people. I don't use any big names from either show, because the Adamas and all the rest have their hands full on New Caprica, and Serenity's crew always seems to get all the fun. It'll be just like how Firefly was described. These people aren't heroes, they're just people trying to get along in a universe that they see differently than everybody else.

There is a Discworld/Firefly fic out there, which is very funny.

I've got a randomness under construction at present, but I'm not giving it away.

Distracted by the thought of Jack Sparrow, Dr Who (DT), Mal, House and Jayne in one headspace. (need spaced out drooling emote here)

Dr Who IS a browncoat...

Possible HP crossover - with Moorcock implications - final confrontation, our heroes go to summon the Ultimate Warrior to fight Voldemort. Only instead of Godric Gryffindor, they get a very confused and excessively tooled-up mercenary...

I'm sorry, have I gone to a wrong place in my head again...

This is a great idea, I especially like the idea of making it a competition. That could get non browncoats to get into the show just so they could enter the contest. You should definitely run with this.

As for ideas, and anyone can use these since I may not, the FF/Stargate crossover seems simple by just having the SG1 team accidently travel forward in time while they gate to a planet the crew is on.

Here's an odd one, you could have a future crew from the Starjammers (that space group from X-men led by Cyclops' father) or with the Shi'ar from the X-men. Wolverine could even be in it considering how long he lives.

Just a few thoughts.

You could go for comedy like LucasHarper did in Sunshine Days and its sequel.

I mean . . .thinking about it, he should be your patron saint. How the hell do you crossover Firefly and The Brady Bunch!?

But he did it. And it was hi-larious.

It was actually LucasHarper's Brady-Bunch story that made me see that even if it's illogical, silly and utterly painful, the crossing can be done!

I'm so happy to see so many people excited!
YAY!

Any suggestions that people might have for a contest system, please feed them to me. In fact, any ideas anyone at ALL has, please feed them to me. I'm idea starved.

Also, do we have anybody who's clever with flash presentations?

I started doing a little graphics thing last night, just a little banner to put up at JaynesBunk to help promote the plan... and it's turned into a slideshow/storyboard.

Ertia, if you want some help on a ranking system, let me know.

I'd suggest having a group of like so many judges and then awarding points to each fanfic based on Originality, Grammar/Spelling/'Versal speak, and Plot/HIlarity. Rate each on a 5 point scale, with each story needing at least three judges. Average out the Judges scores and highest average wins.

"The first weird story"
Originality: 3
Grammar/Spelling/'Versal speak: 5
Plot/HIlarity:2
Total points: 10 out of possible 15

Would that work?

(I can read some if you like, just let me know!)

I'd like to see cross-over stories start appearing on fanfic websites by mid-August or so.

Okay, after some careful consideration, I think a contest is a great idea, but I'd like it to be something adjoined, but slightly separate from the Serenity Summer portion of the project.

I just don't want new authors to feel intimidated, or afraid to post their works.

So, I'll put up details on the contest and on the project later today!
