a low-stress crossover event

🍋 How to play

• Create a crossover or fusion fanwork using at least two unrelated pieces of media. If you aren’t sure what those terms mean, please follow the links for the Fanlore definitions. Understanding how these AU types work and how to use them is your responsibility.

• The crossover must be fundamental to the work. This is really important! In fic, it isn’t enough to have characters from Media A having lunch together while a character from Media B walks past. If you could remove Media B characters from the mix without changing the story, go back to the drawing board.

• The crossover itself must be new for you as a creator. If it’s one you have used before, pick another. Branch out. Try something new. We don’t care if it was a throwaway doodle on a bar napkin 10 years ago, pick something else.

• All fanwork types are allowed as long as the individual pieces of media can be identified in the resulting fanwork by the reader / viewer / listener.

  • If you’d like to make a derivative work for this event (a fanwork that derives from an existing fanwork, such as a podfic or translation), it cannot be of an existing, published fic that you wrote, since…well, like it says above, this has to be something new for you as a creator. And using someone else’s podfic means you didn’t actually do the crossover work, which is the entire point of this event.
  • But you may create a derivative work alongside a brand new piece of fic or art, if you’d like. So a podfic version of your submission, or a translation into a second language.

• Bonus points* if you can creatively smash the names together (e.g. Star Wario Bros).

• Media may not share a franchise. Sorry, MCU + DC. We know you’re large. X-Men and Deadpool: No! They canonically co-exist

  Deadpool and Voltron: Cracky. Chaotic. Go for it.

• Fanworks don’t need to be shippy in nature! Gen is totally welcome.

*There are no actual points for this event
