Line 6:
As a general rule, this is much more light-hearted and less [[Serious Business]] than intra-continuity shipping, favoring the [[Rule of Funny]] instead of an unironic [[OTP]]. These ships are usually labeled as [[Crack Pairing]]s, but it's not impossible to make some of them seem like they can actually work, depending on various factors.
 
When you factor in [[Non-Linear Sequel|Non Linear Sequels]]s like the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series that have multiple continuities, series with a [[The Multiverse|multiverse]] and even official [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] franchises like ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', it all turns into Schrodinger's Ship, as it becomes simultaneously impossible and [[Canon]]-friendly.
 
[[Theme Pairing]] holds a lot of '''Crossover Ships'''. [[Common Crossover]] may relate.
Line 16:

== Canon Examples ==
* There's a semi-canon example in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]/[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' novel ''Planet X'', where [[Crack Pairing|Captain Picard and Storm]] express interest in one another, [[Star-Crossed Lovers|but decide not to pursue it]] since they're... y'know... from different [[The Verse|universes]].▼

** So does that mean she has a thing for [[Actor Allusion|Professor X]]?
* The DC/Marvel series in the 90s gave us a short [[Batman|Robin]]/[[X-Men (Comic Book)|Jubilee]] romance which was actually quite nicely done, in a rare example of a canonical crossover ship.
Line 238 ⟶ 237:
* Pairing Noctis of ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' and Lightning of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' (which, despite names, are set it totally different universes) is surprisingly popular, and has been even before the release of either game, if FF.net is any indicator.
* There is [http://eeza.deviantart.com/art/Dethklok-meet-Discworld-119802058 fanart] for [[Metalocalypse|Skwisgaar Skwigelf]] / [[Discworld|Nanny Ogg]], based around the logic that a rock star who [[Likes Older Women]] and a [[Badass]] [[Dirty Old Woman]] would be a good match.
* There are some fanart examples of [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Sakura]]/[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]. Two little, cute, and godlike-powerful girls. Just try to imagine [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|what would happen if Nanoha fires a Starlight Breaker when boosted by Sakura's "The Power" card.]]
* Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to clean up your brain matter after [[Your Head Asplode]] from witnessing the greatest crossover pairing ever conceived: B/ASH, otherwise known as [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy Summers]]/[[Evil Dead|Ash Williams]]. [http://opallynn.deviantart.com/art/Gimme-Some-Sugar-Buffy-154069846 BEHOLD!]
* JediAnnSolo's [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] [http://jediannsolo.deviantart.com/gallery/?5857505#AGENCY-comic comic series] [[AGENCY]] seems to be built largely for the purpose of shipping ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants|Sandy Cheeks]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''.
