Another reason I rarely read crossovers is that I like my little corner of fandom and don't often feel like venturing out of it. :) I'll read Dr. Who fanfic and Torchwood, but anything else is probably set in some world in which I have no interest. Even if I have enjoyed watching it. I will admit to having read a couple of Supernatural crossovers that have sparked a little interest in seeing what the show is like now. I'd only watched the first episode or two, and don't remember much about them other than I didn't care if I saw any more of it. I'm thinking I might revisit that world and see what all the excitement is about.
The good crossovers that I've seen seem to address those issues of what's in conflict and work it out okay. At least I don't remember being overly bothered by any discrepancies. But we're talking about a very, very tiny amount of fic here. Probably no more than five or six fics spread across at least two other fandoms.
RW shows are completely beyond my ken. I can't imagine reading or writing in those fandoms.
