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.

Ugh. That really does sound awful.

I haven't visited over there. Is it just dedicated to Buffyverse crossovers? Too bad it has this annoyingness going on, because that's so my sort of thing. I think I'll stick with choco_cherries and choco_truffles instead.

Yeah, it's a site purely for crossovers.

There are some quite good ones in there, but I tend to rely on recs to find them. Just looking through the site randomly, you'll find a lot of long lost relatives...
