* A very, very long and involved series of crossovers. The first is a straight up, but well written LOTR crossover with Kingdom of Heaven, though one does not need to know much about Kingdom of Heaven, merely the main character is a baron, raised a blacksmith after being born out of the wrong side of the bed and made a knight by his (deceased) father, and has been swept into Middle Earth by a shipwreck (this is something of a running gag throughout the series, with one boat ending up in the white tree, and later in a mediaeval French forest, causing Legolas to remark that whoever organises these multiverse jumping shipwrecks has very little imagination). In the second installment a further 2 fandoms are added, Pirates of the Caribbean and Troy. Yes, it is almost as mad as it sounds, but a lot of fun.
** Jack Sparrow in Middle Earth...just think about it.
*** Admittedly the {{spoiler|scene in hell at the end of the second installment is a bit cliché and some of the villains seem a little one dimensional at times, but its worth it.}}. The Last installment thus far is a work in progress, but is mostly done and the series shows no sign of being completed any time soon, so there will be more installments. If this troper has anything to do with it anyway.

Fully completed and quite long, I find it highly enjoyable. Not a single spelling error in sight, good grammar, only some phrases that could have been worded better.

* ''Comments'': An epic story ([[Archive Panic|in terms of length, at least]]), and ambitiously well done. The characterizations and inter-series interactions are superb, and the author seems to have a knack for writing battle scenes. After six and a half years, the story is still going strong, with new chapters released near-weekly. Even though this isn't a [[Shipping]] fic, there are numerous pairings, including Takato/Rika, Takuya/Izumi, Rei/Hiei, Joey/Mai, and a few Canon/OC pairings.

* ''Fandoms'': [[Digimon]], Elements and story of [[Dragonball Z]], guest OC appearances from other Digimon fics, implied YuYuGiDigiMoon crossover in the future
* ''Synopsis'': A [[Fusion Fic]] combining the characters from Digimon and premise from DBZ in an ambitious tribute to both series. Now branded with the [[Dragon Ball Kai|Kai]] label to celebrate the fic series' near-10th anniversary. This is the latest and up-to-date version and likely the final one.
* ''Comments'': Very ambitious and quite in-depth. Since May 2010, the awesome-sauce story has chalked up to 57 chapters and counting! The series is in it's second season, which adapts the Artificial Human and Cell arcs. Previous Season covered the Saiyan and Freeza arcs. Much like his successful YuYuGiDigiMoon series, the author goes to great lengths to producing quality fight scenes (only the fight against Freeza's [[Expy]] is one I can safely say is too long). While it follows the basic DBZ plot, there are some twists to keep the story fresh. All but a few are in-character (Matt is Vegeta, but not a sadist; Tai is Goku, but less dimwitted). There are OCs, but they help flesh out this specific universe. Though, it's no [[Shipping]] fic, there are some pairings like Taiora, Takari, Mimato, Kenyako, and a Davis/OC pairing.
** There are some implications this fic could be crossover'd with YuYuGiDigiMoon in the future. When? The author has not confirmed. But, wouldn't that be kinda sweet?!

** The primary heroes here are joined by Anthony Bault, an accountant-ish man of Scandinavian descent living in Minneapolis, and a resident video game expert. After the events of the series are kicked off by Bowser's banishment to the world of Earth ([[It Makes Sense in Context|you'll understand in the first few paragraphs]]), Anthony discovers he has the bloodline of the first Gamemaster, Sir Eric of the Larson Clan, and takes up the duties of uniting the worlds of Arcadia against the forces of evil.
* ''Comments'': This series is, quite possibly, one of the biggest Mega Crossovers you'll read. It's connected to a lot of worlds and has a huge cast (For instance, the world of Ani-Earth is the home of the Dragonball cast, the Digimon cast, the Pokemon world, even comic book series from Marvel and DC have been tied down to this world), and has spawned a lot of Extended Universe fare. Words cannot properly express how vast the Arcadian Multiverse is, and though the quality of the fics starts out as average in the first few stories, it ends up to be an absorbing and inspiring read throughout. The link to Anthony's Fanfiction.Net page contains the main Arcadian works, as well as several non-Arcadian works and even links through his favorites to the Extended Universe fare of Arcadia.

* ''Fandoms'': To a solid base of post-S7 ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' are added elements from ''[[Doctor Who]], [[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]], [[Criminal Minds]], [[Harry Potter]], [[Discworld]], [[Mary Poppins]], [[The Pretender]], [[House (TV series)|House]]'' and even ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' and ''[[Peanuts]]''.
* ''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.

A sequel tournament, continuing the plot of the first in a different location and with different rules, was held as well. A third tournament was begun but cancelled after two rounds due to dwindling participation and similarly dwindling motivation from avatarjk137.

** 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.
