Crossover question

[JayDee]

Hi,

I seem to recall that loading stories before with multiple fandoms the general rule was to put the story in whichever of the settings was mostly used. Now I see that under Misc there’s a lot of crossover catagories and a mention of crossover catagories in the guidelines that may well have been there before but with the time elapsed I can’t remember.

Would a crossover story need to go in the misc> crossover catagory now, or does it stll ok to put it in the mostly-set-in fandom? and if it should be in misc>crossover should I be looking to move my older stories into that cat if/when I have time?

Thanks for your time.

I’d go with the mostly-set-in fandom myself, to be honest. The Misc>Crossover category is mostly for stories which don’t have a proper category to begin with, and when a crossover is set in one of those, well, the archive dragons get peevish. And you know, peevish dragons and all that…

Thanks for the info! Both of the remaining oneshots I forgot to post are firmly in one setting that has a catagory with a single thing from another so it’s easy to see where to put ‘em now.

I try not to get dragons peevish. Not since the incident. Though that crater did make a fine lake eventually.

Hah! When I went to Resident Evil, there’s actually a subsection for RE crossovers anyway so I’ve now got the only story in it!
