Sandbox / Common Crossover Wick Check

Common Crossover is currently a mainspace trope. However, with its definition being that two fandoms are able to mesh well together, whether that's due to similar settings, ideologies, or characters, it is based on subjective reasoning instead of objective. This wick check is to see how the trope is used: objectively or subjectively.

Objective

• Fanfic.The Man With No Name: Both series are beloved sci-fi television shows with a nice dose of cynicism, feature characters who travel through space with no destination and are renegades/outcasts in society (though with the nature of Doctor Who, it's easy to dump him in just about any series). I think this is objective?
• Fanfic.Mario And Sonic Heroes Unite: Sure, crossovers between Mario and Sonic have been done to death already, but Azurixx managed to create an actual original story based on the two franchises. Is stating that it is in fact a common crossover objective in this context?

Subjective

• AmbienceAFleetSymphony.Tropes A To C: subverted; this story, from quite early on in the story, in fact, pulls in characters from the Chinese equivalent of Kantai Collection called Warship Girls, which essentially a Kantai Collection with much more emphasis on foreign ship girls, so given these premises, one may believe that the two franchises would be more commonly depicted in crossovers, but it's not very common at all. In addition to awful grammar, this is just misuse and stealth complaining(?) about there not being crossovers between two works.
• Crossover: Listed as a subtrope with "When two works have a tendency to be crossed over in Fan Fiction.".
• Crossover Ship: Buffy the Vampire Slayer has sometimes been shipped with Dean Winchester of Supernatural, or sometimes with Sam. So has Faith, for that matter, though both Slayers more likely end up with the older brother. In a case of Pair the Spares, if Buffy is with Dean then Dawn will likely be shipped with Sam. The pairing is strengthened by the idea that the two universe actually mesh together rather well, with the metaphysic differences not too hard to Handwave due to having a number of common elements.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Buffy and Firefly is such a Common Crossover that such stories have their own tropes (and considering the amount of 'Verse slang that pops up in the future-Slayer comic Fray, some fans wonder when Joss is going to declare that world to be Earth-That-Was and get it over with).
• FandomSpecificPlot.Death Note:
  • The Code Geass Crossover, Lelouch vs Light. Expect the entire Royal Family bar the Vi Britannia kids to be Death Noted in the first 4 chapters.
  • That portal network that connects the human world with the Shinigami world is a Common Crossover method. It apparently works for Time Travel and dimensional travel as well.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Harry Potter: The Veil is actually just a portal to another universe. Fodder for Crossovers. Especially Star Wars crossovers.
• The Infernal Devices: This series and The Mortal Instruments don't have a huge crossover file yet, but it's steadily building. Considering the fact that this series is really just a prequel and many characters are either ancestors of characters in The Mortal Instruments or present in both series (such as Magnus Bane and various vampires), it's not surprising. Subjective in nature, but does it count as a Common Crossover if the works share the same universe?

Misuse/ZCE

• Crossover Ship: (one other wick located in the Subjective folder)
  • Kurama (YuYu Hakusho) / Kagome (Inuyasha) is popular, and actually quite possible.
  • There are people out there who ship Abby (NCIS) with Dr. Reid (Criminal Minds). Then again, it kind of makes sense.
  • The pairing of Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) and Zack Addy from Bones is reasonably popular for the Common Crossover thing. All are ZCE potholes.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Literature, regarding His Dark Materials: Fics with characters from another fandom put in Lyra's world of the trilogy, not necessarily involving any characters from the trilogy, so that the author can demonstrate what shapes they think the characters' daemons would be, overlooking the fact that traveling to that dimension will not necessarily cause your daemon to manifest, but being born there will, so it only works as a whole-cloth Alternate Universe. Not the same as Common Crossover, because any fandom can be plugged into this scenario. This is just complaining.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Ranma One Half: For a while during the late 1990s and early 2000s, there was a spate of "What If? someone else raised Ranma" stories, with everyone from Elminster of the Forgotten Realms to Bugs Bunny taking Ranma off Genma's hands as a youngster and arriving with him, somewhat... differently trained, on the Tendos' doorstep years later. Many of these were loosely connected to the greater continuity of The Bet-verse, and came from the minicommunity of fic writers around Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp. (Common way for joining universes for Common Crossover.) ZCE mention
• FandomSpecificPlot.Warrior Cats: The series is frequently crossed-over with other media featuring cat characters.
• Fanfic.Kimi No Nalowa: Freely draws character designs from various shipgirl works: Azur Lane, KanColle canon, Pacific: World War II U.S. Navy Shipgirls and Warship Girls. Doesn't seem to be describing the correct trope.
• FanficRecs.Resident Evil: One of the fics is tagged as a Common Crossover. I don't know if this is true.
• FanficRecs.Silent Hill: Again, just a tag on one of the fics. The same one from the Resident Evil page, too.
• Franchise.Disney Channel Live Action Universe: A big, commented-out, multi-bullet example that describes actual crossovers, between the actual shows, as this trope.
• ICarly.Tropes A To E: A long bullet list of on-show crossovers, same as above. Unlike the above, it isn't commented out.
• Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty are both shows that involve elderly Dimensional Travelers and their families, and their creators are friends. The two works have put in so many nods to the other's show that fans just accept that the two continuities are connected, despite being owned by different companies. Misuse of Lawyer-Friendly Cameo, and a ZCE of Common Crossover.
• Recap.Victorious S 2 E 7: Common Crossover: Helen from Drake & Josh is the new principal. This is Canon Welding/Shared Universe.
• Series.Henry Danger: Frankini's minion is Goomer from Sam & Cat. Shared Universe
• Series.Nick Verse: Common Crossover: Daka Shoes, Pearpods (an Ersatz of Apple products), Wahoo Punch, Blix and several other real world brand-inspired products. These are just brands that show up across all the shows.
• Series.Victorious: All are just Call Backs to previous shows or part of the Shared Universe schtick
  • In "Freak The Freak Out", Haley and Tara and later, Sikowitz sing the song "Number One" by Ginger Fox.
  • Tori's new principal is Helen from Drake & Josh.
  • In "April Fools Blank", Tori briefly passes through the set of iCarly before finding herself on a game show.
• Arpeggio of Blue Steel: With KanColle. Guess why. Ugh.
  • Also with World of Warships. Same guess.
  • A fan went one better and made the theme song of Azur High School Arpeggio Collection.
• Trivia.Cthulhu Mythos: The page has a section that lists various official works to use or be inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, which is listed under Common Crossover for some reason.
• Hidamari Sketch: Due to the association with Ume Aoki, fans of Hidamari Sketch tend to also like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which Aoki was the character designer. Considering what kind of story PMMM is, the adjoining of those two is widely disturbing. This is Friendly Fandoms
  • Clearly this has been noted by the producers; a commercial for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movie appeared in the first episode of Hidamari Sketch X Honeycomb, aired early October 2012. This is hardly coincidental, as producers purchase the entire Otaku O'Clock block and has a free rein on what commercials to put on as long as it agrees with the Moral Guardians. This is Fandom Nod
  • This is also the origin of the Fan Nickname "Chidamari Sketch" for PMMM ("chidamari" meaning, approximately, "pool of blood" in Japanese). This is also Friendly Fandoms or just Fan Nickname for PMMM
• Nick Verse: The Nickelodeon wiki can also be considered the wiki for the Series/Nickverse/Schneiderverse itself, and includes commentary on Common Crossover elements. Again, describes canon crossovers as this trope.

Other/Misc

• FanficRecs.Work Name: "A Common Crossover fic that whoever recommended it believes truly stands out"
• Fanfic Tropes: Index
• ImageLinks.Cosplay Fan Art: Image Links page
• Memes.Fan Works: * ORIGINAL CHARACTER/IDEA! DO NOT STEAL! ^Explanation  A standard disclaimer at the beginning of a vast majority of fanfics, especially those lacking in any originality, and a very good indicator of Unwarranted Self-Importance. Ugh, sinkhole nightmare.
