* ''Synopsis:'' A [[Mary Sue]] infiltrates the world of ''[[Harry Potter]]'' and decides to combine it with ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''. Four unwilling (and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]]) [[Unlikely Hero|readers]] are soon drawn into the brave new world of magic, [[Deconstructive Parody|sparkles]], and [[Interactive Narrator|interactive narrators]].

* Synopsis: A single trans-million-word story which [[Deconstruction Crossover|deconstructs]] the [[Mega Crossover]] and [[Self Insert]] genres. The crossed-over universes, once grafted together, react explosively. Instead of a [[Possession Sue]] the self-inserts arrive as ''literal'' possessors, and the meld backfires. Characters respond with realistic horror to the discovery that someone remembers them being fictional.
Line 51:
* ''Comments'': For those of you who can't stomach DJ Croft, this'll make the above story bearable. Elmer Studios only covers the first "season," though, which I've read is the worst. Ctrl-F through the archives to find the first eight installments, [http://www.keithpalmer.ca/mst3k/favourites/ep203.txt the ninth] was a joint effort with another group, Mystery Octagon Theater. Alternate links [https://web.archive.org/web/20150122092647/http://svamcentral.org/ewic/ms-inf.html here], under "Eyrie Unlimited," which also has MiSTings of the first two parts of ''[[Undocumented Features]]''.
''[[The Dance of Shiva]]'' by John Biles ([https://web.archive.org/web/20140507105717/http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/Shiva/Shiva1.html Home page])
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': When a coma patient awakens from her thirteen-year-long sleep in 2034, it sets in motion a series of events that involve the royal family of the Juraian empire, the Knight Sabers, and a secret bloodline of espers in an effort to thwart an apocalypse set in motion by an ancient, inhuman enemy—and may reveal the secret behind the mysterious disappearance of the Sailor Senshi decades before.
* ''Comments'': John Biles' ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140507105717/http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/Shiva/Shiva1.html Dance of Shiva]'' blends ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' ([[OVA]] continuity), ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', ''[[Patlabor]]'', ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'' and ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]''—along with [[The Cameo|cameos]] from and [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to at least a dozen other sources (including ones as far-ranging as ''[[Die Hard]]'') -- to create a story that is by turns action-packed, comedic, and unabashedly mystical.
''[[The Open Door]]'' by Academia Nut ([http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4320933/1/The_Open_Door Fanfiction.net version])
Line 61:
* ''Comments'': Suffers a wee bit from [[God Mode Sue]] though. Of course, being a sequel, it takes something of a "You Should Know This Already" approach to the previous story's content, so beware spoilers if you [[Incredibly Lame Pun|step through The Open Door]] before reading ''Thousand Shinji''.

* ''Synopsis:'' Looking for a cheap, fast idea to fill a hole in their schedule, executives from the Nippon Broadcasting Network steal the concept of MTV's ''[[The Real World]]''. Unfortunately, the "seven ordinary people" who are "randomly selected" to share the house end up being [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]], [[Kimagure Orange Road|Kyosuke Kasuga]], [[Ah! My Goddess|Urd]], [[Sailor Moon|Mamoru Chiba]], [[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku|Atsuko Natsume]], [[Urusei Yatsura|Ataru Moroboshi]], and [[Tenchi Muyo!|Washuu]]. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* ''Comments'': Some of the best animation and choreography I've ever seen in a flash movie. This guy seriously needs to get hired by Capcom.

* ''Synopsis'': An epic Rescue Rangers/Secret of NIMH/The Rescuers triple crossover centering around Gadget Hackwrench. Fairly well written though it might irk some, depending on your level of fanism for the shows. (PG-13, In authors own words: Realistic Violence, Harsh Language, and Situations that may be touchy for fellow fans of the characters involved)
Line 235:
* ''Fandoms'': Disney, and Warner Bros.
* ''Synopsis'': The Strange Point Of View has three stories so far. The first two take place in the same universe, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7056436/1/Lost_Tales_of_Fantasia ''The Lost Tales of Fantasia''] and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7145042/1/Its_a_Small_World_University ''Small World University'']. The first is a [[Dark Fic]], that takes the Disney fandom, [[Grimmification|gives it a dark twist]] and sets it in World War Two. The plan is for it to encompass every single Disney story, and to make it so all of the [[Fridge Horror]] and [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] that takes place in the story is feasible within the individual stories. Not recommended for those without [[Brain Bleach]]. The second story in the series takes place in the present with all of the modern day Disney shows, and it's early days but it seems that [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Alex Russo]], [[Phineas and Ferb|Candace Flynn]], and [[Kim Possible]] must fight some sort of [[Eldritch Abomination]]. The third fic, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7348318/1/Harrys_Eleven_and_the_Dark_Knights ''Harry's Eleven and the Dark Knights''] is not Disney, it's a Warner Bros. crossover. It's based off of [[Harry Potter]], and so far includes the DCAU, Ocean'sEleven, Beetlejuice, [[Book of Eli]], [[Sherlock Holmes]], [[The Matrix]], and [[Jackie Chan Adventures]], among other things, with the author dropping hints that [[Death Note]] will make a future appearance.
* ''Comments'': Each story is very ambitious. ''The Lost Tales of Fantasia'' is an intriguing read, which will make you rethink even your favorite Disney characters. It builds a
** The stories are really inventive, and a must-read if you're looking for something original. But sometimes it could feel like too much is happening at once. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing.

* ''Fandoms'': To a solid base of post-S7 ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' are added elements from ''[[Doctor Who]], [[Law
* ''Synopsis:'' In the months after the end of season 7 of ''Buffy'', the Scoobies and the miniSlayers experience revelation and tragedy and discover new allies before settling down near the Cleveland hellmouth in a house that is far more than it initially seems. As they acclimate to their new home, they discover that not all that is published as fiction is untrue, and begin to take in waifs and strays from more worlds than just their own.
* ''Comments:'' An entertaining series of mixed shorts and multichapter stories, wherein the Scoobies and the miniSlayers find that the world outside Sunnydale, while still possessing its dark and dangerous elements, is at the same time much more pleasantly magical than they would ever have guessed. Some of the crossover elements are little more than [[The Cameo|cameos]], but others are substantial threads underlying the 'verse of these stories, whose courses intersect with the Scoobies' own on more than one occasion. There are tear-jerkers here, and heartwarming moments, plus tension and action as well. Definitely worth a look.

* ''Synopsis'': The former is an absurdly-large conversion project for the ''[[Angel]]'' RPG that has grown into a world of its own. Characters and creatures from dozens of sources put into a blender and set to "frappe", with details mixing, colliding, and occasionally replacing each other: [[Mazinger Z]], [[Gigantor]], and [[Cutie Honey]] all run on [[Hot-Blooded|Nekettsu]] engines that generate [[Ghostbusters|Pink Slime]], The [[DC Comics|Anti-Monitor]] is the master of [[Kingdom Hearts|The Heartless]], [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] is the daughter of ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen|Baron Munchausen]]'', [[Street Fighter|Akuma]] is a fragment of [[Soul Series|Soul Edge]], The [[Cthulhu Mythos|Great Old Ones]] include [[Godzilla|Bagan]] and the [[Macross Frontier|Vajra]], [[Serial Experiments Lain|The Wired]] encompasses [[Digimon|The Digital World]], [[Stargate SG-1|Jack O'Neil]] pilots The [[RahXephon]], and [[DC Comics|Amazo]], [[Marvel Comics|Ultron]], and the [[Futurama|Robot Devil]] are all the same being.
** The latter is a story similar to a ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' game (as the title suggests) based on the above universe, in a world where monster attacks and invasions have hit the earth for more than a century, and the various organizations that have arisen to deal with them have finally started sharing notes. By order of President [[Gargoyles|David Xanatos]] (you heard me), SG-1, UNIT, the [[Hellboy (comics)|B.P.R.D.]], [[Ultraman|G.U.Y.S.]], and even the [[Lyrical Nanoha|Space-Time Administration Bureau]] are starting to work together.▼

** I was wondering if I'd see Supernatural Taisen here. The massive crossover is extremely well handled, and makes it clear that the author knows what he's doing. If you're a fan of any of the series involved, or the super robot wars franchise (or hell, even if you're not) it's most definitely worth a read.
