No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I'm thinkin' of an Angel/Grendel x-over.

And it ain't slash

I forgive you. What flavour of crossover is it, then?

Oh, X Files folks, I feel your pain. It must have been hell. I'm glad that I already know about the betrayal and disillusionment, so I can go play in the nice fandom belatedly, without having expectations to be dashed.

Hey - finally caught an episode of Witch blade. Quite like it. It looks lovely - very comic book, almost frame by frame - and it has a strapping sexy brunette, which is always a plus for me. So far I'm well disposed to it.

MM - Not as mad as you might think. JennyO wrote a rather nice Buffyverse story that's BtVS/Beowulf slash, which puts an excellent spin on the story.

Well, don't get attatched. Or do, but know that there are two seasons, and that's it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I say go for it. I've found when writing crossovers, that it's best to pick one of the two series to be the dominant one, and save most of the explanations, etc. for the less well-known series.

Sigh. It's like Alien Nation all over again.

In other news, I found myself writing HP fic on the train last night. Swoopingly romantic gushy nonsense. First person (which, hello, I don't do) Snape/Lily, but also looking at Lily's relationship with her sister. Probably come to nothing. Where's my Jossverse muse gone?

Heh. That sort of answers my question.

The Grendel I'm referring to in this case is a comic-book series by Matt Wagner. The main character is a criminal, but it gets all into the power of images and ideas...

Ah, well.

Hell yeah - go for it, MM. Silverlake would certainly welcome it with open arms.

MM, given that yours truly is midway through writing a Sailor Moon/Homicide: Life on the Streets crossover, I once again say "go for it." I've read many crossovers where I had clue zero about the other series involved, and wound up a) liking the story a lot and b) discovering a new fandom.
