Crossovers?

Testing? Bah! Normal usage! by Lilac Lielac on 2012-08-22 00:16:50 UTC Reply

Because if normal usage breaks it then we've got a problem.

My chosen topic: inane crossovers! What are yours? What mad things do you think of that the Disentanglers might have to go after if you don't weave it properly?

Probably the strangest of my lot is a Bionicle/LotR fusion fueled by calling Matoran robotic hobbits and it being three in the morning when I thought of it. It's got the Middle-Earth setting, and hobbits, and my plan for it is to have someone who's never heard of Bionicle be able to read it and enjoy it, and it just so happens that one of the weird monsters coming out of Mordor are called Rahkshi, and the names of rather a lot of characters are recognizable... It's a shootton of crazy and high hopes and delusions of grandeur, probably, but I'm just crazy enough to try. (The stories in it would be different and familiar to anyone who's up on their Bionicle lore, that's the thing, but the Rules of the world would be completely LotR...)

Oh! And that Bionicle/Hero Factory grimdark thing, but I'm not sure that's near as straaaaange as trying to fuse two so completely disparate tales without ending up with something that would get a mission written about it.

Well, as usual, I remain an alien to the Bionicle fandom. My first reaction to many fandoms, though, tends to be "How easy would it be to do a crossover with Doctor Who?" Because that's a crossover that pretty much always works, which is awesome.

On the other hand, just about anything crossed with Redwall, aside from Narnia (possibly), is going to have me boggling. Unless it's a weird sort of AU in which pirates are ferrets and villagers are mice, or somesuch, pretty much nothing fits easily with Redwall. I think the weirdest one I ever saw was either Harry Potter with Redwall, or, and I might be misremembering, Star Wars with Redwall. Utterly boggling.
