Eh, a convention I use to refer to very annoying trends fandoms take when writing fanfiction. Namely, using the same scenario over and over again.
Like having Naruto go to Mahora to 'protect' it, waking up there or equal horseshit.

Stations Of The Canon, you mean?
No, I suppose not. Stations Of The Fanon is more accurate ...

Stations of the Fanon indeed.
The Stations of the Fanon for a DBZ/Naruto crossover:
- A DBZ combatant character somehow ends up in the Narutoworld.
- Doesn't matter how. Crash landings from space pods, misfired teleportation, misworded wish or what have you, they'll land there, rest assured.
- Make said DBZ character come across kid!Naruto after he receives abuse from the village
- Said DBZ character decides to train Naruto because he has 'promise'.
- Again, doesn't matter how the character comes to decide to do so or even if they'd consider it practical. After all, any of DBZ's combatants could wipe the floor with the entire Uchiha Clan with a hand tied behind their backs and singing the Macarena. They can all destroy planets. Who in their right mind wouldn't use such a ridiculously powerful asset to hunt down and slay the Akatsuki instead of having him train Naruto?
- The fic ends there 'cause the writer realizes how cliché it is and decides to quietly leave the scene, never to return.
That work?
The same for a Negima/Naruto crossover
- Naruto finds himself in Mahora. Somehow.
- He is then tasked to protect Negi. Or Asuna. Or Konoka. Anyone, actually.
- Optionally, you can have Naruto simply realize everyone's a weak pussy and he should protect them himself.
- Naruto somehow manages to steal Negi's harem from him.
- Evangeline warms up to Naruto or he manages to woo her. Drop your weapons, don't murder the retarded author yet.
- Naruto solves everyone's problems. Now you may murder the retarded author.
So far, nine out of ten times that's the scenario.

Naruto Negima station of cannon
Naruto is either sealed, sent on a mission, or lived thousands of years and ends up in Mahora. Repeat everything except give Naruto a Harem.

Hyped for Hyperdimension Neptunia V 2I actually like to write Naruto as a setting since the chakra system is rife with hilarity potential. While very tempted to write a Naruto/Negima fic, to prove you wrong, I must admit defeat, as I literally. CANNOT CONCEIVE OF ANY IDEA TO MAKE IT WORK THAT WILL NOT SUCK! Yes, not even if I crank up the crack to the max.
On another note, I do not think you can cross Negima with Harry Potter, Dresden files, Charmed, Buffy-verse, Star Trek, any version of NCIS, CSI, Survivor, Lost, Heroes, Glee, or, unfortunately, the Alcatraz Series. I've tried. Their worlds are too incompatible based on the magic systems alone. all these, however, work if you throw in either Kingdom Hearts or Thursday Next, though the latter might be too surreal. It's more insane than I am!
BTW, I'm defining a crossover as "both set in the same world". If dimensional travel is involved, that's different. But I my knowledge, dimensional travel fics tend to fizzle out as the plot loses significance to one side of the crossover. The only one in recent memory that worked is "Connect the Dots", a justice league/Naruto fic.
Apologies to all those who have done any of the above. That's o my my personal opinion, as I like to get the setting of the crossover established with a minimum of Retcon.

The problem is, wouldn't those characters only be the same characters In Name Only?
Also, any good ideas for a For Want Of A Nail The Dresden Files fic?

Wrong thread, but as I love the smart ass…
What if Harry had first been whammied instead of Elaine?
What if Maggie had dealt with Summer instead of Winter?
What if Harry had picked up Harry instead of Lasciel's coin?
What if Lash had used some other method to protect Harry White Night and survived to book 10?

In theory. You could write them exactly the same way they'd behave in their own universes, but it'd derail the Naruto world so much it wouldn't even be funny.
Alright... G'night ya'll.

That's why the trick would be finding characters with similar enough backgrounds to the Naruto characters that they replace that one could transplant their background into the Naruto universe without radically altering it or them.
For example, Black Star from Soul Eater could make a decent Naruto replacement, since like Naruto, he is extremely annoying and everyone hates him for something he can't control (although in Black Star's case, it's because of his clan instead of because he has the kyuubi inside him).
Also, what's wrong with completely derailing the Naruto universe?

There aren't nearly enough people who are in The Dresden Files thread to ask the question (could anyone who reads The Dresden Files go post in that thread) there.
Lea would have intervened.
I'll leave this idea until we have even the slightest idea what sorts of deals she was making.
Darkhallow succeeds, everyone dies.
Lash would probably have Harry squish Tessa when they had her at their mercy, leading to the Denarians not having enough firepower to take down Ivy before the Sign fell, leading to an enraged Ivy wiping them out....
I think I can make the last idea work.
CSI Gotham:
"Well, Frank, here's the scoop: The murderer left a Joker playing card, two exploding jack-in-the boxes, and this suspicious looking cigar in the crime scene. We're still stumped on his or her identity."
"Damn. This is almost as bad as the robbery with the riddles last week. I wonder who could be behind those..."
"Molly thinks it's the Firefly."
"Nonsense. I have solid, definite leads on Killer Croc there. I only need confirmation from Ballistics..."
Well, that and Metropolis.
"Gideon, tell the Lab we'll need a scan on—"
"Actually, Herb, Superman already scanned the whole area with his X-Ray vision, tracked the killer to the docks, and arrested him five minutes before we arrived."
"... Well, crap."
"And that's only because he stopped to get a kitty from a tree on his way."
"Damn, can't he even leave the kitties to us?-!"
As a Roman Catholic, I find it strange, not offensive, that there's a trope named Stations Of The Canon.
Especially when you consider that the Catholic teaching can be collectively be called the 'cannon'
