General All-Purpose Crossover Fiction Thread

I don't really know...

Also, I had a good idea for a crossover: Whale Wars vs. Deadliest Catch.

If it's the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny you want, then I present to you Godzilla vs. Walpurgisnacht and also a battle for the title of World's Strongest Cyborg, Guy Shishioh vs. Victor Stone vs. Kotaro Minami.

I was just hit with a New idea:

A Science Fiction / Horror / Black Comedy idea:

Metroid /Halo /Dead Or Alive (there's a reason for that one. Wait for it) /Possibly either Alien or The Thing, or maybe both. Maybe toss in Mass Effect, and any other Scifi series.

Multiple organizations have converged on a single Planet/Spacestation/Spaceship (haven't decided which yet) for a huge scientific discovery of a new Mineral or energy source or whatever, and as the location is smack-dab in the middle of uncharted, unclaimed territory, meaning it's a race to fully claim the area first. But since they all get there around the same time, and the loss of life would be redonkulously huge, the area is declared a Neutral zone, and everybody has to play nice or lose out on the greatest find ever.

As a result, there are numerous military factions, independent factions, civilian scientists, etc arriving on the planet to study said Applied Phlebotinum.

Among some of the groups there are:

• The Galactic Federation, who ask for assistance from the famous Bounty Hunter, and former(though I've considered having her still be a member in this story) member, Samus Aran.

• The United Nations Space Command, who send not, Master Chief as you would expect (no reason why yet) but a new female Spartan Nicole 458 (Told you I'd explain the DOA inclusion).

• The Citadel Council, but I know less about that series than the other two, so I've no idea who they would send.

• No clue on anyone else, but you can have your scientist types, and the like to round out the usual cast of this kind of story (and include any characters from other series that would fit the mood). Maybe toss in the Space Pirates and The Convenant for whatever reason.

Now there are a-lot of political tensions between all these groups since their all crammed together in one place and a whole lot of business who are willing to take advantage of the financial opportunities that come from this.

Anyway, getting to the meat of this idea, the miners dig too deep, and awaken not just one space horror like the Xenomorphs, but muliple ones. So the Xenomorphs, the unamed Thing from the titular movie, and any other nasty ass thing you could think of, forcing all these groups to work together.

Now the humor part of the story is two fold(and very dark at times, but hopefully still humorous): (1)the fact that even with all these creatures around, all the players spend as much time fighting each-other as they do the aliens (which is actually a big part of what allows the aliens to do as much as they do, even though said creatures are fighting each-other as well) (2) Alot of Genre Savvyness (and a bit of Wrong Genre Savvy) going on about how things are going (at least one character should outright guess that they might end up waking up something nasty, and that politics will get in the way of fighting it).

Also, any characters with Powered Armor (ie, the Metroid and Halo characters, and anyone else who fits that description) will do well at first, but at one point, something happens that disables most of the more powerful weaponry (maybe due to the infighting, or just due to some of the actions of The Thing or something else), leaving them in a much worse situation than they should be. And finally, a rivalry between Samus and Nicole over who is the best to lead (with the Genre Savvy Characters taking bets on which one of them is the Vasquez, as well as which of them will be the Final Girl, something that becomes harder to determine as the story goes on due to both of them being equal on that both fronts, leading to nobody knowing for sure which of them will live to the end).

While it's supposed to been as freaky as possible, the story is meant to be pretty tongue in cheek as well, and will have exactly one Bar Brawl, started by the ladies after they trade insults (Samus says Nicole is just Master Chief lite, Nicole counters by bringing up the events of Other M, everbody else gets dragged in).

And that's it. One of these days, I'll have to come up with an idea that I can try myself (which means having watched all the shows, or show involved).

Anyone who wants to try it go nuts.

The whole genre savy-ness of the cast sounds really fun too. However, I don't feel like I could do the idea justice. I'm not familiar enough with Halo and not really good at Black Comedy or Horror.

I'm still messing around with The Spectacular Spider Man and Transformers Animated crossover idea. Is there a term for a type of fic that combines the settings of both original material? Because that's what I've ended up doing here, since not only do both shows take place in different cities, but also different centuries.

I'm also a little concerned about Super Weight. Peter Parker and most of his supervillains would have a hard time standing toe-to-toe with a single cybertronian, and cybertronians don't exactly hang out alone. I want to make this a plot point, with Peter frustrated about how the Autobots are smarter, stronger, and better heroes than he is, but I don't want him to spend the entire series angsting about it and I don't want to have Power Creep, Power Seep. Any ideas?

Admittedly about fifty percent enlightenmentCaveman too.

The term you're looking for is Fusion Fic.

As for Super Weight.... I'm not entirely sure about the cartoons, but Spider-Man canonically has Class 10 strength, meaning that he can either bench press or lift straight up ten tons worth of weight, and is even stronger when that fight-or-flight reflex kicks in. That's enough to lift, at the very least, a couple of pickup trucks without much trouble. Then realize that a number of his enemies - Sandman, Doc Ock, Scorpion, and especially Venom and Carnage - are even stronger than Spidey is, with Carnage being five times stronger than Spider-Man. It's pretty clear, then, that Spidey (not to mention the aforementioned rogues) could easily pulverize entire human bodies with a single punch if he stopped holding back his full strength. While I haven't seen Transformers Animated, I'm pretty sure that Spider-Man could at the very least give an average Decepticon some pretty nasty car-bruises if he used his full strength. On top of that, remember that Spidey's a Combat Pragmatist and Guile Hero - his most dangerous ability isn't his strength or even his webbing, it's his quick-thinking, and he prefers to win by out-thinking his enemies rather than overpowering them. Even if most Cybertronians are stronger and tougher than he is, Spider-Man will probably look for an environmental advantage. He's also considered to be The Mario of the Marvel universe overall, and any given opponent he could possibly face will lose some of their effectiveness once Spidey starts cracking jokes at them. So overall, Spider-Man could probably take out at least mook Cybertronians by means of being Weak, but Skilled.

Edit: NM.

Looks like my ideas are too ambitious. Maybe I need to reduce the number of series I use.

Also, why not check out New Avengers Vs Transformers to see how Spidey (and Marvel Heroes as a whole) fare against Giant Robots (Remember, this is a world where Sentinels exist), so it's not like they are unused to fighting giant Robots, even if such things are not something Spidey fights regularly.

I wanna see Sam Beckett leap into Keitaro Urashima. That takes place during The '90s or before and therefore within Sam's lifetime, right? See how he handles being a Nigh-Invulnerable Butt-Monkey and also what he has to do before he can leap out. He has to improve somebody's life, but it could be anyone residing in Hinata House - not only Keitaro himself, but Naru, Motoko, Shinobu, Kaolla, Mitsune, Kanako. I wouldn't really care who Sam ends up shipping Keitaro with - 'cause let's face it, that'll be at least one of the steps in helping whomever it is (although I'd personally prefer either Motoko or Naru), but the one concrete rule is that absolutely no character bashing on anyone. The only one getting bashed is Sam!Keitaro because his leapee is a massive Butt-Monkey.

Also wonder what would happen if Flonne met Munakata. Happy-go-lucky Love Freak meets unwilling Omnicidal Maniac....

edited 8th Jun '12 9:14:56 PM by EvaUnit01

But Sam would be killed. He only looks like the person he leaps into. He doesn't get their abilities, so the very first time an Accidental Pervert moment takes place, he's be splattered.

On the other hand, since he's not Keitaro, he might avoid those Accidental Pervert moments completely.

HOLY HELL I did not expect to find another QL fan on these primarily anime-dominated fanfic threads, AIR FIVE!!

True, Sam might not be Nigh-Invulnerable like Keitaro, but he is cleverer (even a word?) and more observant, on top of that he's got Al to help him out.... for whatever that's worth.

It's been a while. I actually only remembered that little tidbit due to another quantumLeap Crossover I read, specifically Ranma One Half.

It became clear when Sam impersonated Ryouga, and didn't become a pig.

It did remind me of that fact however, and I was a fan of the show as well.

Nice theme song too.

One Strip! One Strip!

Since you seem familiar enough with both shows, maybe you'd like to try your hand at it?

Unfortunately, I ain't that familiar with Love Hina. Everything I know about it comes from this Wiki, and one or two chapters I read a long time ago.

Never really interested me that much, and it's been years since I watched Quantum Leap as well so I'm out.

One Strip! One Strip!

Where are you getting that Carnage is that much stronger, by the way? Unless this is a new development he has Spidey' level of strength. Only Venom is a BIT stronger than Spidey, and it's because he works out.

Yuri fanfiction writer! http://www.fanfiction.net/~shanejayell

Venom is canonically far stronger than Spider-Man not only because the host body (Eddie Brock) made a lot of exercise (although that's a ridiculous explanation since even without any training, Peter Parker's enhanced anatomy is far stronger than any normal human's), but because the symbiote managed to fully bond with the new host, something it never could achieve with Spidey.

And Carnage is in turn far stronger than Venom (near perfect integration between symbiote and host, and IIRC it was once said 'second generation' symbiotes are stronger), which is why Spidey is hosed going against him alone. To beat him on one on one terms, the symbiote must be tricked or forced inside of Kasady's body and become inactive, which is how Pete beat him in one annual, and how Batman took him down in a crossover (with help from the Joker of all people).

Thank you, Napoleon, for doing the explaining for me. But to be fair and answer Shanejayell about where I got my info, you know those books for comic superheroes that are like an abridged introduction to that hero's mythos? They tend to have titles like Hulk: The Incredible Guide and Spider-Man: The Amazing Guide. Well, I have an edition of the latter (probably a decade old, though, since it only covers up to the early 2000s and Ultimate Spider Man and Spider Man 2099 had only just started up. Anyway, it mentioned that Eddie Brock had a certain level of strength (don't remember exactly how much, though), and also it said that after merging with the Venom symbiote, the resultant being was 40 times stronger. I believe (don't have it on me at the moment) it also mentioned that the reason Venom is so much stronger than Spider-Man is because the symbiote was able to copy Peter's altered physiology and pass on the effects of it to Brock. On the double-page spread for Carnage, it explicitly said that Carnage could lift about 50 tons. Between the two, it was mentioned that Venom had all of Spider-Man's powers, and either improved upon them or had additional ones (stronger, faster, immune to Spider-Sense, Combat Tentacles...) Similarly, the exact same holds true for Carnage in relation to Venom - Venom's powers were inherited and taken Up To Eleven (Combat Tentacles upgraded into Morph Weapon, for instance). And yes, Carnage also has closer symbiosis than Brock does, which also increases some of Kasady's powers. While the Venom's mass is constant, meaning his tentacles have a stagnant range, Kasady's symbiote is more or less fused to his bloodstream, meaning that over time the symbiote itself grows, which translates to further tentacles. And while Toxin hadn't been created yet and so wasn't covered, I hear that he is even stronger than Carnage.

Hey, are self-made fics allowed? I'm just asking because, if they are, I do have a Sonic the Hedgehog / The Legend of Zelda crossover to present...

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

This is indeed the thread for pimping your own crossover fics. Go nuts.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Oh, perfect! With that, I can more properly elaborate on it:

The fic I linked is The Blue Blur of Termina, a Sonic the Hedgehog / The Legend of Zelda crossover fanfiction made by... well, yours truly. Based on the events of the game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask along with some story elements from Sonic Unleashed, the story follows Sonic the Hedgehog and Tatl Beryllia's journey through the four corners of Termina to seek the help necessary to stop the catastrophic descent of the rogue moon before it annihilates the world.

If you want, read it and tell me what you think so far.

If it's pimping we're doing, then of course I must pimp this Neon Genesis Evangelion/Fate Stay Night crossover. NOW PIMPED IN THREE THREADS!

.....0_O

What Have I Done?

It hit me like a nuke I've got an idea. An awful idea. Rob's got a wonderful, *awful* idea!

It has little meat behind it, but for once, it doesn't have ten or twenty other stories that would need to be read to do it.

I'll sum it up in five words:

GO GO GADGET RIDAAAAHHHHH KIIIICCCKKKK!!!!!

I think I may need to be committed.

Or commended

Or both.

One Strip! One Strip!

YES. I want that SO HARD, man, it's not even FUNNY.

EDIT: I see your Kamen Rider [[Inspector Gadget]] and raise you Slaves to the Deceiver, Magicians Betty and Veronica. With Sabrina in the place of Mami Tomoe

edited 18th Jun '12 2:59:34 PM by EvaUnit01

I'm putting it out there. While I'm familiar enough with Inspector Gadget, and I know enough about Kamen Rider (though there are many I haven't seen), I think this needs someone with the time, and a deep love of both.

Archie Comics Madoka?

Who would be Sayaka?

Who would be Kyouko?

Who would be Kyuubee?

edited 18th Jun '12 3:02:02 PM by HandsomeRob

Kyubey is Kyubey, but beyond that it's not actually a direct adaptation, as there won't be an analog for every PMMM character, and the plot itself may not even mirror that of the original. With all the wacky hijinks that the Archies get up to, that might actually be enough to force a Genre Shift into Lighter and Softer.

Ironically, though, Betty and Veronica would most likely be Madoka and Kyouko. I guess Big Ethel can be Charlotte.

Also, Sabrina doesn't die.

That Showa era or Heisei era for Kamen Rider? (the shows before and after Kamen Rider Kuuga, respectively)

But Sabrina's a witch!
