C) The simple, mundane form of IntercontinuityCrossover that relies on both settings being mostly realistic to the point that they don\'t have mutually incompatible fantastical elements, to make it plausible that they would exist in the same setting without the need for any heavy-duty CanonWelding. Like when [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Ray Barone]] showed up in a few episodes of \'\'Series/TheKingOfQueens\'\'.

The common thread here, is that for some reason or another you have one work\'s characters showing up alongside another work\'s characters. The crossover can be its own work, or one work can be the host while the other is the guest, or it can be mutual, but that\'s usually what a crossover means.

FusionFic is actually unusual among crossovers, in that it blends the very \'\'premises\'\' of the works rather than merely putting their characters together. Either it puts the characters from work A into work B, but with A\'s characters \'\'replacing\'\' rather than appearing alongside B\'s, or it blends together two [[TheVerse distinctive worlds]], or both.

I think there\'s also sort of a lightweight intermediary between FusionFic and traditional IntercontinuityCrossover, where work A keeps its setting and premise 100% intact (aka \"canon compliant\" in fanfic terminology), while guest characters from work B[[note]]who appear in their own right, rather than replacing existing characters as in a FusionFic[[/note]] have their backstories altered (sometimes massively) to be compatible. I think I\'ve seen some of these for Zootopia.

\'\'\'EDIT:\'\'\' I just wrote something ridiculously in-depth and now I think it might be useful to post it somewhere besides here.

I\'m not sure where, though. I don\'t think it would quite fit in the CanonicalListOfSubtleTropeDistinctions, so probably somewhere in the {{Analysis}} namespace. Maybe Analysis/FusionFic or {{Analysis/Crossover}}?

\'\'\'EDIT 2:\'\'\' I went ahead and created [[Analysis/FusionFic an analysis page for Fusion Fic]], based on my above reply but cleaned up a bit. So now we can say that this discussion actually did end up pertaining to the wiki content (albeit in a roundabout way, on a different page, in a different namespace) ;P

A) {{Crossover}} between multiple works in a SharedUniverse, where it\'s already canon[[note]]or else [[CanonWelding retconned into being canon]][[/note]] that the characters from other works exist in the same world. Marvel and DC are especially known for this. Particularly large-scale examples of this fall under CrisisCrossover.

B) The fantastical form of IntercontinuityCrossover that brings together characters from multiple incompatible settings, either handwaving it with an explanation involving interdimensional portals and talk of a multiverse, or simply using RuleOfCool to sidestep the obligation to make any sense whatsoever. I think a well-known example of the former might be \'\'VideoGame/KingdomHearts\'\'. The latter is especially common in fighting games like \'\'VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom\'\' or \'\'VideoGame/SuperSmashBros\'\'.

FusionFic is actually unusual among crossovers, in that it blends the very \'\'premises\'\' of the works rather than merely putting their characters together. Either it puts the characters from work A into work B, but with A\'s characters \'\'replacing\'\' rather than interacting with B\'s, or it blends together two [[TheVerse distinctive worlds]], or both.

A) IntercontinuityCrossover that brings together characters from multiple incompatible settings, either handwaving it with an explanation involving interdimensional portals and talk of a multiverse, or in simply using RuleOfCool to sidestep the obligation to make any sense whatsoever. Like Darth Vader showing up in \'\'VideoGame/SoulCaliburIV\'\'

B) {{Crossover}} between multiple works in a SharedUniverse, where it\'s already canon that the characters from other works exist in the same world. Marvel and DC are especially known for this. Particularly large-scale examples of this fall under CrisisCrossover.

C) Simple, mundane {{Crossover}} that relies on both settings being mostly realistic to the point that they don\'t have mutually incompatible fantastical elements, to make it plausible that they would exist in the same setting without the need for any heavy-duty CanonWelding. Like when [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Ray Barone]] showed up in a few episodes of \'\'Series/TheKingOfQueens\'\'.

The common thread here, is that for some reason or another you have one work\'s characters showing up alongside another work\'s characters. The crossover can be its own work, or one work can be the host while the other is the guest, or it can be mutual, but that\'s usually what a crossover means.
