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.

Buffy vs the Count, which is set in season 7, and quite funny.

A Gift of Ordinary Magic, which is post-series, and very interesting.


Harry Potter is Giles' long-lost nephew or some crazy shit - cause they're both British!!

Right. From now on, I'm going to maintain that Joyce Summers is clearly the younger sister of Frasier Crane - because they're both American! It's perfect!

and then dies in some dumb epic battle and is buried in a Snow White coffin by a river and Spike cries and cries because they were true lovers.

Thanks! I'll check those out.

Uh huh. There were lots of pointed comments from Giles about how terrible the Dursleys were, and how much he did miss his sister, uh, Harry's mom. (Can't remember her name, clearly I don't actually read HP.) SO CLEVER, LOL.

Yeahhhh. It was pretty crazy. Like Willow's all hangin' out with Harry and teaching him ~the true meaning of magic~ and worrying that she's gonna go all dark - and then I think both she and Spike became profs at the school? And everyone's like GIGGLE they like each other GIGGLE. And Dawn is also going to Hogwarts, and is friends with Hermione, and hooks up with Connor, who is also there for some reason.

It was rather crazy.
