Mega Crossover/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

** Jack Sparrow in Middle Earth...just think about it.

** In the first Tangled Web is where the [[Sliders]] group bounces off the TARDIS belonging to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' knocking them into the [[Star Trek]] universe. Q thought it would be funny to interfere so he helped the Borg to learn about the device used to move throughout the multiverse. Once the Borg obtained that technology the Q Continuum made Q take responsibility for the situation and have to fix it but not directly.

* ''Synopsis:'' To quote a TV commercial, something's gone wrong in the happy-go-lucky world of [[Nintendo]], and it isn't because of the involvement of M-rated hero [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]], fallen gaming mascot [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], or the "Should have been included in [[Super Smash Bros]] character" [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]. Various heroes are missing and it's up to the Evangelion pilots to fill the gaps. Shinji Ikari as [[Kirby]]. Asuka Langley as [[The Legend of Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. Rei Ayanami as [[Star Fox (series)|Krystal]]. And it's only the beginning, everyone they know from their world are also brought in to replace someone, good and evil.

* ''Comments'': Probably Shritistrang's most epic fan fiction to date. Be warned that there are liberties with some of the source material, especially for games [[No Export for You|not released outside of Japan]]. And the author's from Europe, and considering how Europe is treated regarding game releases...

*** Hey, original poster here. I asked the artist when ''she'' was putting it back up, and she answered that she was planning to do some edits, but had other work to do as well. So watch this space for details!

* ''Crosses over'': ''[[DuckTales]]'', ''[[Tale Spin]]'', ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', ''[[The Three Caballeros]]''. Hints of ''[[Goof Troop]]'', and several general Disney Universe [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] and Cameos.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4869171/1/Grand_Tour Grand Tour]'' by [[Tropers/Drunken Grognard|Drunken Grognard]]. Started as a ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' (both ''Star Trek Deep Space Nine'' and ''Star Trek Voyager'') crossover, it quickly spiraled into more series, including ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' with many series acting as a one-chapter one-shot or a cameo mentioning at most.

* ''Synopsis'': Happosai casts a spell that ends up sending Ranma and Nabiki back in time and across space to a world that will eventually become the capital planet of the Juraian empire.

* ''Synopsis'': After the events of the [[Rescue Arc|Enies Lobby Arc]], the Straw Hat Pirates are happily sailing on the seas on their way to Fishman Island... when the Thousand Sunny is swallowed by [[Paper Mario (franchise)|a large door appearing out of nowhere]], and as it turns out, the Straw Hats have wound up in the [[Super Smash Bros|Smash Universe]], [[Super Mario Brothers|going]] [[The Legend of Zelda|through]] [[Pokémon|various]] [[F-Zero|worlds]] [[Metroid|on]] [[Kirby|their]] [[Metal Gear|way]] [[Star Fox (series)|back]] to the Grand Line. However, behind the scenes, a evil plot is being hatched...

*** Tropers/Emperordaein Seconded. It has it's flaws, such as a bit of [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] issues (parts such as Zoro being able to defeat Gannondorf, Sanji beating Dark Samus and {{spoiler|Liquid Ocelot}} being able to fight on par with LUFFY may be hard for some to swallow), a downright ''lazy'' [[Deus Exit Machina]] for Mario during his arc, the cameo oversaturation and baffling plot of the Pokemon arc (For the first half), an extremely long final battle that just becomes boring not long through, and a frustrating {{spoiler|[[Reset Button]]}} ending. But they can't really take away from just how damn FUN this story is. The characters are spot on, the story and universe established are superb, the interactions between the Straw Hats and characters from the different worlds are fantastic, and the fights are incredible. It makes the reader care for the Straw Hat's journey, and them stopping the universal dominion plot.

* ''Synopsis'': As the title suggests, there are ''heavy'' parallels with the plot of ''[[Kill Bill]]'', and it features the characters known among followers of the [[Game FAQs]] Character Battles as the Noble Nine -- here re-imagined as a group of assassins of varying levels of morality. Not surprisingly considering the heavy rewriting of characters, the lone member of the group who is a villain in his games becomes the closest thing to a "heroic" character found. [[Metroid|Samus]], as the lone female in the Nine, is naturally given the role of the Bride.

* ''Comments'': This story was originally published on [[Game FAQs]]' Board 8 by Stats Topic regular Bellis, who apparently signed up for a fanfiction.net account for the sole purpose of archiving it there. While the Nine and the other characters from their games form the majority of the cast, there are random incursions by characters who are not only unrelated to any of the Nine, but have also never appeared in a Character Battle. Also of note is that almost everyone undergoes a complete alignment reversal--so [[Lawful Good]] characters like [[Mario]] and [[Chrono Trigger|Crono]] become [[Chaotic Evil]] (both [[Ax Crazy]], and the latter a [[Blood Knight]]), while Chaotic Good [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] becomes [[Lawful Evil]] and [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]] becomes the most sympathetic of the Nine and the only one who doesn't seem like he really deserves to die. Truly a [[Crazy Awesome]] AU.

** Well put together, but some forgotten core details {{spoiler|regarding how ridiculously overpowered the Turn-A is}} ruin the story for some readers leading to an [[Anyone Can Die]] scenario that can't be taken very seriously. [[Anyone Can Die]] befits a Gundam story, but suspension of disbelief is lost when video-game physics is put in place.

* ''Recommended'' by: [[Tropers/Not JM Keynes|Not JM Keynes]]

* ''Synopsis'': When Angel Groove is attacked by ridiculously powerful enemies, what does [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Seto Kaiba]] do? Blackmail [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Simon the Digger]], [[The Big O|Roger Smith]], [[Zoids|Bit Cloud]], [[Vision of Escaflowne|Van of Fanelia]], and [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]] to join forces and fight them! This was either an awesome or a really bad idea!

* ''Comments'': It started as a really funny [[Power Rangers]]-like [[Deconstructive Parody]], with the battles getting more and more [[Crazy Awesome]] (and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny too]]), while the [[Monumental Damage|collateral damage]] to the titular city getting worse and worse after every enemy attack, the fic has started to show an interesting plot, with the villains of each series making a team up, but there's more plans and factions there, and, even if it's in the first chapters, there's space for reasonable [[Character Development]], especially on Shinji. [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] and it's pretty interesting.

** [[User:Tacitus]]: About the only thing I can nitpick about ''Haloid'' is that Samus' model is closer to her ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' form than the ''Metroid Prime'' series. This doesn't really matter because a) all the asskicking going on makes it hard to notice and b) she doesn't spend the whole fight in it. Other than that, the video is ''mah''velous.

* ''Synopsis'': A massive crossover of every ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' game from I to VII, encapsulating [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]. The premise is that the heroes of the various games have been sent to another world and forced to thin out their own ranks due to a perceived imbalance [[Balance Between Good and Evil|between good and evil]].

* ''Synopsis'': This series combines the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' universes with the over-the-top action of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' to create the best flash video series on the net.

''[http://lembas7.livejournal.com/ The Elijah's Cup Universe]'' by Lembas7

* ''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.

''[[Undocumented Features]] ([http://www.eyrie-productions.com/UF/ link]),'' a series created by [[Eyrie Productions Unlimited]].

** ''Primary Fandoms:'' ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]], [[Sailor Moon]], [[Tenchi Muyo!]], [[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]''

* ''Comments'': The cameos are nice, but the story gets really good when it's focusing on the staff, namely the romance between Juri and Setsuna (''Sailor Moon's'' Sailor Pluto), which results in {{spoiler|marriage}}, another plot involving Juri and other characters from ''Utena'', or Tendo Nabiki's (''Ranma 1/2'') romance with Ayaka Kisaragi (''Phantom Quest Corp.''), which {{spoiler|hasn't worked out ''quite'' as well as Juri's did}}). Many of the scenes featuring guest stars are taken from shanejayell's other fanfics, although the scenes do not read exactly the same as they did in their original context (some parts are shortened, while other parts are actually ''added''). Really, if you're a [[Yuri Fanboy]] (or fangirl), you'll probably like shanejayell's work -- of the fandoms I listed as either primary or secondary, Tenchi Muyo is the only one that I've actually seen. It's good enough to transcend the individual fandoms, IMHO.

** [[User:Akatsuki Daybreak]]: Seconded heartily. I found this story when I had just begun reading fan fic (it was only a few chapters long at the time) and fell in love. The grammar and spelling are pretty bad at the beginning with lots of there/their/they're confusion (the story didn't have a beta until the second arc), but it's absolutely epic.

* ''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. <br /><br />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 [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Space-Time Administration Bureau]] are starting to work together.

* ''Comments:'' This story is hilarious. [[Hilarity Ensues]] practically every time the author pens this work, and when hilarity does ''not'' ensue, it is well written and beautiful. The story is still incomplete at almost 170 pages, and it has a [[Lighter and Softer|lighter and funnier]] "sister" called ''[http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com/art/GirlsNextDoor-Introductions-73082145 The Girls Next Door]'' by [http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com/ Pika-la-Cynique]. Over the course of the comic, it crosses over with ''[[Les Misérables]], [[The Phantom of the Opera]], [[Labyrinth]], [[Pirates of the Caribbean]], {{spoiler|[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]}}, [[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'' and many others. You don't have to actually ''know'' much about the series mentioned, (though sometimes there are bonus jokes for those who do), and it may even convince you to check those things out. Sometimes this is crack, sometimes it's serious, but it is always -- ''always'' -- a good read.
