pet peeve

The number one thing that stops me reading crossover fanfics?


When Buffy isn't actually a Summers - instead she's a Grissom/Bartlett/O'Neill/Gibbs.

Or when Xander's real dad is the lead guy on the crossover show.

Or when Willow is the relative of the nearest Jewish cast member. Or the nearest redhead.


Putting Dawn in a different family works okay - because, hey, monks making different decisions or whatever. (But it would be kinda nice if Glory actually chased her into the crossover show, once in a while.)

But otherwise? There are other ways to get crossovers to occur. And I'm sick of all the new family members.

I wish to claim a singular exception in my icon. Because in every show, someone is at least potentially Jessica's niece/nephew/old college friend's child.

True. *nods*

But at least that's using a convention of one of the shows...
