Friday Sort Of Post

[ithildin]

Since it's Friday, let's play the 'ask me a question' game again. And if you ask me a question, I'll ask you one in return -- if you want :) Any topic, but don't expect answers on anything too TMI or personal.

Well, I don't see them as crazy [g] It's all perfectly logical in my head.(isn't that scary?) Some shows just fit together. Now, the first fanfic I posted was Forever Knight, but Methos and LaCroix were just meant to snark at each other [g] (did you know they actually considered doing a real TV crossover of the two shows once upon a time? Like they used to do on CBS back in the day) Okay, so you put Methos and LaCroix together, and their universes work well together -- I think. But then you have immortal beings, and you want to move a few centuries down the road, and you've just seen First Contact, and you have a fondness for post apocalyptic fic, and there you have Star Trek for a preexisting future history. So that was sort of an accident. We had an IRC conversation one night about what would happen if a Borg tried to assimilate an Immortal [g] Look where that got us!

Are you sorry you asked now? [g]

And do you want a question?

Very interesting. And very similiar to the conclusions I came up with when my crossovers started happening. Neat!

Sure, ask away!

What fandoms were used in your very first crossover? And what two fandoms would you like to cross that you haven't yet?

Man, I had to actually go check my archive to figure that one out.

Here's the order I think it happened.

I came up with the idea for "Demon's Triangle II: Of All Immortals, Dark and Light" first, so the original would have been Highlander/Buffy. But then the story altered when I got into Anita Blake, so I took the time out to write "Demon's Triangle I: To the Power of Three," which includes all three. And while all of this was going on, I was plotting out my Highlander/Poltergeist: the Legacy beast ("Shadows of Forever").

I started working on a short story earlier in the summer that crosses one of my original HL characters with the world of Eric Flint's 1632 universe. I keep writing bits of it in snatches, and it's an interesting concept (20 year old Immortal gets dumped back in time and has to figure out who he knows who's been born yet, where they might be, and whether they'll kill him). Hopefully I'll finish that one soon.
