So, you like Crossovers, huh. Well, let's here 'em. I want gritty details, your woes, your passions, and your story names or wish-lists. I would have thought that this section of this forum would be jam packed with topics. This makes me sad. Discuss. They don't even have to be AFF specific. Though, as the topic subtext suggestion, no Twilight crossover discussion. No offense to Twilight fans, but I can't stand that movie/book and it genuinely ruins my enjoyment of a discussion when it's brought up. Everything else is fair game.
So far, Harry Potter is my base 'crack' for crossovers. I just can't seem to write one without Harry being the main center of it all. I think it's because there are just so many different options and possibilities involved. The HP world is so vast and so established, it gives a very solid foundation for expansion and tie-ins. Character depth and personality also can't be denied, if you're writing a crossover without it being AU.
Some crossovers that I have written, am writing, or took a crack at but failed, have involved:
Lord of the Rings
Lost Boys
Hellsing
Supernatural
X-Men
Charlie Bone
Dark Tower (Stephen King)
Dresden Files
Air Gear
Warcraft
Dead Like Me
Chronicles of Riddick/Pitch Black
Of that long list, only three or four are actually posted, with two or three being hiatus'ed to death in my Documents. The ones that are posted are on fanfiction.net under Black-Raven3, though two may be getting moved here once they progress further.
I'd really love to hear some other peoples crossover ideas, and give others a chance to advertise their Harry Potter based crossover work, or just generally discuss Harry Potter crossovers. What makes you so interested in crossing fandoms with Harry Potter? What points do you always go for in such crossovers (For example, I can't write a crossover without there being slash, Harry being an animagus, and character development)? Do you prefer your crossovers to be epic in length, or simple drabbles or one-shots?
Let me hear your thoughts!
