Line #20 Webcomic/ComicFuryCrossoverExchange


1	Beginning in 2014, Platform/ComicFury's [[http://crossoverexchange.thecomicseries.com/ Crossover Exchanges]] are a regular community event in which participents give and receive crossover art or comics.
2
3	One person will designate themselves the host, and create a signup thread, after which it will be their job to assign each participant a random comic to draw art for. Each exchange will also usually have a collaborative image serving as it's 'cover,' and a short intro comic by the host as well as a closing image or comic. The Halloween Exchange 2018 introduced the idea of multi page collab comics telling a short story as an intro.
4
5	!!A typical year of exchanges includes:
6
7	* Crossover Exchange IN LOVE- A valentines exchange and the only exchange to always be hosted by the same person. 2019 broke the pattern with a blind date exchange instead of the usual title, but it was still hosted by [=HeSerpenty=].
8	* Summer Exchange: A bit of a wildcard. Whilst usually summer themed, exchanges held during the summer months have the potential to be anything, from a pirate prom to a [=ComicFury=] themed convention.
9	* Halloween Exchange
10	* Christmas Exchange

13	----
14	!![=ComicFury=] Crossover Exchange provides examples of the following tropes:
15
16	* AlternateUniverse: What most exchange pieces are assumed to be, unless [[DimensionalTraveler interdimensional travel]] is involved or one or both of the artists involved [[AscendedFanon declare it canon.]]
17	* BlindDate: The theme of the 2018 Blind Date Exchange. (Repeated for 2019.)
18	* {{Callback}}: Oh, yes.
19	** ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfSirPower'' - ''Webcomic/{{Cryptida}}'' 2019 Christmas crossover recalls the ''Cryptida'' - ''{{TAoSP}}'' 2019 Halloween Crossover.
20	** The Villain of ''Scary Monsters, Super Creeps'' was a fish man from the previous year's ''Webcomic/{{COSMOS}}'' - ''Webcomic/CourtOfRoses'' crossover.
21	** [[Webcomic/TheaterOfTheBloodyTongue Ariane Eldar]] remembers meeting [[Webcomic/{{Cryptida}} Tarik]] in the 2019 Blind Date Exchange, a meeting that happened in the 2018 Halloween Crossover Collab.
22	** Puarani also remembers meeting Tarik in the ''The Wide Ocean'' - ''Cryptida'' exchange. The two previously met in the 2018 Halloween Crossover Collab.
23	* {{Cosplay}}: Done during Halloween and Furycon.
24	* CrackPairing: Many have formed over the years, some of them appearing more than once. They're most common in valentines exchanges.
25	* FakeCrossover: Unless otherwise stated by one of the creators.
26	* TheKrampus: Has appeared in a few Christmas Crossover Exchange strips. Apparently, he and Webcomic/{{Fantomah}} dated for a bit.
27	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: While the strips themselves usually contain only two comics, some contain cameos from other comics.
28	** Also, the intro comics for the 2018 Halloween and Christmas Exchanges.
29	* MonsterMash: ''Webcomic/TheStrangestCoven'' - ''COSMOS'' 2019 Halloween crossover features the Cosmosians turned into monsters, including a [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent were-cat]], FrankensteinsMonster, MadScientist, {{Medusa}}, a [[PumpkinPerson Jack-o' Lantern]], and a JustForFun/RobbyTheRobot {{Expy}}, led by a [[Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth fish cultist]] from the previous year's ''COSMOS'' exchange.
30	* SceneryCensor: Inevitably in use when [[Webcomic/KazasMateGwenna Kaza and Gwenna]] are around.
31	* ShowWithinAShow: Well, show within a comic, in the case of 2018's Christmas Show exchange.
32	* ShoutOut: With the sheer amount of contributors, a few references were inevitable.
33	** Microraptor parodies ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' in the 2019 ''Webcomic/TheWideOcean'' - ''Cryptida'' exchange, with Puarani as the shark.
34	** The 2018 Halloween Crossover Exchange cover's title is in the ''Series/StrangerThings'' font.
35	** The 2018 Christmas intro comic is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/AChristmasCarolGoesWrong''.
36	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Sometimes, people don't seem to be bothered by the appearances of superheroes, [[Webcomic/{{COSMOS}} Cosmosians]], monsters, [[Webcomic/KazasMateGwenna nudists]], or [[Webcomic/WordIsTheBird domesticated kakapos]] as one would expect.
37	* WeirdCrossover: Inevitable, given that the pairings are randomized.
38	* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Performed as a play for the 2018 Big Christmas Show Exchange.
