Mega Crossover: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''The'' example—the ''ultimate'' example—is the work known as ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', created by [[Eyrie Productions, Unlimited]]. More or less continually written since the early 1990s by a dedicated creative team, running into many many megabytes of stories, ''UF'' blends together so many sources that ''no one'' has a definitive count of them, and has successfully combined them all into a single galaxy-spanning space opera epic with an internal history of thousands of years. The earlier works are admittedly crude—the first installment was intended as a joking "we could do something like this" example meant to be discarded when the "real" writing began—but ''UF'' (and other EPU) stories since the middle to late 1990s have all been of exceptional quality and workmanship.

** Also by the fine folks at EPU, ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'' starts off looking like just an ambitious [[Alternate Universe Fic]] for ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', but before long it becomes clear that this is a Mega Crossover world involving at least a dozen sources besides ''NGE'', and that it only tangentially ''resembles'' [[Canon]] ''Evangelion''. Interesting to note, that much as ''Evangelion'' was a [[Deconstruction]] of, almost an assault on, the tropes of [[Humongous Mecha]], ''Neon Exodus Evangelion'' is an assault on what the authors felt was the meaningless nihilism of the original, and the fic can be somewhat hard to warm to for some readers.
