=== Fan Fiction ===
* ''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.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* ''[[Both Syllables]]'' combines ''[[Invader Zim]]'', ''[[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Lilo and Stitch]]'', and ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''.
* While ''[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/journal/12042628/ Chess Piece]'' is primarily a ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' based webcomic, it has enough characters from other Nicktoons intertwined in its story to constitute its own kind of Mega Crossover.
* The massive ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3587925/1/Chicago_Convergence Chicago Convergence]'' includes characters from ''[[Myth Adventures|Another Fine Myth]]'', ''[[Bolo]]'', ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''[[Charmed]]'', ''[[Catch-22]]'', ''[[Dark Angel]]'', ''[[Diagnosis: Murder]]'', ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Due South]]'', ''[[Early Edition]]'', ''[[Forever Knight]]'', ''[[Friday the 13th: The Series]]'', ''[[Hammer's Slammers]]'', ''[[Highlander]]'', ''[[Indiana Jones]]'', ''[[Knight Rider]]'', ''[[Kung Fu The Legend Continues]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[Love and Curses]]'', ''[[MacGyver]]'', ''[[Martial Law]]'', ''[[Mechwarrior]]'', ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'', ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]'', ''[[Nash Bridges]]'', ''[[Kolchak the Night Stalker]]'', ''[[Quantum Leap]]'', ''[[Quincy]]'', ''[[Relic Hunter]]'', ''[[Seven Days]]'', ''[[Sliders]]'', ''[[Space: Above and Beyond]]'', ''[[Special Unit 2]]'', ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[The Terminator]]'', ''[[The Black Company]]'', ''[[The Incredible Hulk]]'', ''[[The Pretender]]'', ''[[The Sentinel (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'', ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', ''[[Time Bandits]]'', ''[[The Time Tunnel]]'', ''[[The Transformers (animation)|The Transformers]]'', ''[[Viper]]'', ''[[Walker, Texas Ranger]]'', and ''[[The X-Files]]'' all coming to [[
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090211173532/http://lubakmetyk.infinology.net/others/bootleg/act1.html Convergence]'' is another one, set on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', from the late 90s. Politics and squabbling between the many authors eventually drove everyone away.
* Usually, a Mega Crossover will contain either anime or [[Western Animation]], but not both. One of the few exceptions is ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5032746/1/CrossWorld_Episode_1 CrossWorld: Episode 1]'', by Hejin57, a.k.a. Kareem Elamrani. This is an unfinished work containing, so far, characters from ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', ''[[Samurai Jack]]'', and, of all things, ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''. It's about as [[Crack Fic|cracky]] of an idea as one would expect, but actually [[So Okay It's Average|isn't that terrible]], despite the fact that it's not nearly as good as the other fanfics by the same author. Unfortunately, [[Dead Fic|it hasn't been updated since 2009]], which actually wouldn't be so bad if the author hadn't stopped ''just when the story was starting to get good''. The author has since chosen to work on his other, non-crossover ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi]]'' fanfics, which as has already been mentioned, are much better works.

The creators are keeping the plot a secret—will they finish before it becomes the gaming equivalent of a [[Dead Fic]]? Given the ambition of the project, I'd have to guess no...but hey, we know [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]] is mentoring them! If that doesn't make it awesome, what does?
