My sister and I were talking about fandoms that cannot realistically work out with another fandom.

Like for example: Harry Potter and Twilight. My sister talked about a girl who was trying to write a Hermione becoming a Vampire and still being friends with Remus Lupin. My sis got her to back off from that idea as Werewolves are the sole creature that could kill a Vampire and there is no way that Lupin would permit Hermione to live if she was a Vampire.

And another fandom pairing that is not possible at all: Bleach and Harry Potter. Soul reapers are like ghosts, they cannot be seen unless you have the ability to see ghosts which I doubt any of the characters in Harry Potter books can see. The very same girl that my sister got to back away doing a HP/Twilight crossover tried to do it with Bleach/HP.

So what other fandoms you have seen that shouldn't have even been paired up with another fandom?

Any fandom and Twilight with its disgusting super sparkly vampires that have set the vampire fandom back at least half a centery.

hahahaha this is true. As much as I am a fan of the series Twilight is in it's own world, and is completely unrealistic.

OH yeah, couldn't agree more. ^_^

I'm not going to argue that there are some crossovers that beg to never meet (Twilight / Muppets would be right up there with Sin City / Teletubbies) . . . but a (hopefully, reasonably) talented writer can take two seemingly unrelated sets of books or movies and cross them into something interesting and palatable if they have good writing talent and a proficient imagination. I've actually seen Star Wars crossed with Leave It To Beaver done WELL, but by an extraordinarily talented writer.

Crossovers in general get a terrible wrap because many canon bible beaters think no one has the right to pollute the pristine little imaginary worlds some writer was gracious enough to create for them - gee - that's too bad (and tough shit). I'd much rather see one well done crossover than hmmmm . . . FIVE HUNDRED more Twilight one shot suck faces . . . or FIFTY more Southern Vampire Series Eric / Sookie have the "talk" scenerios . . . or any more poorly written Haldir / Glorfindel / insert favorite elf's name here fucked someone up the ass slash that was attempted by someone who's probably never had sex before and wouldn't honestly know what a realistic orgasm or a well described blow job was if they were given a lifetime subscription to a porn channel :cry:

I personally like crossovers, and I'm not ashamed to say that. I read them - and I write them - and I write them about vampires too, although MY vampires are real bloodsucking disembowling types who do NOT sparkle - ever. (Perhaps in my next crossover I'll send some over to the meet up with the sparkley ones . . . bet I could stop that scintillating nonsense!)

Damn Twilight wanna be super sparkly vamps should meet up with the vamps from Ravenloft. They wouldnt stand a chance against a real vampire.

Nor should you be. The essence of fanfiction is the ability to show you understand the characters, the world of a fandom well enough to manipulate it in the story you're crafting. A crossover, done right, demonstrates a deep understanding of more than one fandom.

Fandoms That Should Never Touch

Twilight/Anything - This even goes for Twilight/The Host (the latter is also by Stephenie Meyer). It's never done well. Never.

Avatar: TLA/Anything - It's an AU historical psuedo-magical fantasy saga. I can't think of one other fandom that is remotely compatible with it (that would be believeable).

Most SitComs/Non-SitComs - The unique structure of sitcoms makes decently crossing over with a non-sitcom difficult. Most authors can't pull it off.

Dark-and-angsty-live-action-show/happy-and-funny-animated-show - If you can't see why this doesn't work out, you're not old enough to write fanfiction.

I agree. A truly talented writer can find some way to join the two crossovers. As the saying goes, where there's a will there's a way. Now, Just because I think it CAN be tastefully done, does not mean I think that ANY crossovers should be done by a novice writer that can not articulate the details efficiently and has not ironed out the details of HOW the cross over works.

To be honest I don't really hate crossovers but they scare me. I have read only 3 good crossover fics and 1 Great one.

Personally, I'm working on two myself. A Bleach/Sex Therapist oneshot and a Bleach/Descendants of Darkness fic.

Any Harry Potter/Fullmetal Alchemist/InuYasha/Naruto/Bleach/Gundam Wing crossovers (or variations) are a no in my book.

Undead vampires in general are unrealistic.

I like all vampires :)

There is a Harry Potter/Star Wars crossover somewhere in the archive (Harry Potter section). My brain hurt even trying to come up with that conept :)

While moving stories around in the buffy subdomain (and I sorted crossovers as well), came across a BtVS/InuYasha one. Sorry, animated characters with real people just doesn't work.
