It's the stories that earnestly try to wank the rules to make the two universes meet.
If it's done badly, or simply to get two likely victims in bed together, or if character bashing is a prime motivator (parody doesn't count), then yeah, it can suck.
OTOH, I love crossovers that find the story potential in the area where the two universes overlap. This one is a favorite, as is this.
My problem with crossovers which get the characters in bed together is that many authors seem to have to favor one over another -- and while I tend to be okay with that within a fandom, for some reason it bugs me more across fandoms.
Anne - in the first story you linked to what's Firefly crossed with?
I'm curious too. I read the story, I liked it, and I sort of half-recognize it, but only in the back of my memory somewhere.
It's crossed with the
Miles Vorkosomethingorother series by Lois McMaster Bujold.
I skimmed it, and that's what I wondered. But I hardly know that world. Seemed like a good match, though.
I wonder if Firefly could cross over well with BSG.
Multiverse 2005 is going on right now, so there's a decent chance that might happen.

Dana, do you know of any HP vid sites??

HP is not one of the more popular vidding fandoms, from what I've seen. I've seen a couple here and there at cons, but they're generally pretty lightweight. shrift, anything come to your mind?
Hmm? What's this?
