Does it count as a Supernatural crossover if you're 3k into the story and all that's crossed over is the car?

lolol Hey, the car is a character!

you know, it sort of is. I'm just starting to think I better get moving on having... oh a Winchester show up or something

Sure, I think so! I mean, if the TARDIS showed up in a Supernatural fic, even if there were nobody in it, it would be a crossover, right?

you know- that is a very good point.

of course, if I could just figure out where the story was going that might help...

Okay I'm going to go a little indepth but this is how it works in my mind.

Once you cross one element from one story, fandom, etc. Everything in both fandoms is FACT. Unless you the author make execptions and explain to the reader, watcher, etc, what has changed or isn't true. Anything can begin a crossover, a Character, a letter, object, planet, animal. Once you cross the two, or more fandoms you are in control of the story!

Hope that makes sense, believe it or not it came to me in a dream!

that *does* make sense. I suppose it's like anytime we create a 'verse of any sort. We (as authors) set the parameters of the world it'll take place in and go from there

This is the bigbang thing, right? Pfft, you've got plenty of time to get the boys in there. *nods*

Nope- not a big bang. I vaguely considered signing up for [livejournal.com profile] sncross_bigbang, but haven't yet (15k min, sign ups continue for awhile yet)

I'm doing it again- writing a bad/evil thing without any idea of what or who or how. *facepalms*

Oh! I thought you had signed up for that. Never mind. *g*

Something will occur to you. *nods* I have faith.

I debated it. It was shiny and bright... but then I figured I had a lot of time and I may as well see if the story goes anywhere first

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/ 2009-01-24 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a good plan. *nods*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
In a way it's a very free canon- set 1995- preseries NCIS and SPN so next to no knowledge of the characters (as they appear currently) is needed. But in another way- OMG creating OC's and a whole universe *AUGH*

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/ 2009-01-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
*twitches* OK, that would be hard for me. I'm much better at stealing universes. *g*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Now, I know why I never attempted anything like this before. I don't think I've even seen a preseries NCIS that's not a 'how Gibbs and DiNozzo met' story (canon says Tony was a cop in Baltimore where Gibbs found him and hired him on at NCIS. There is a brief mention that before Baltimore, Tony was in Philly and before that Peoria.) So, randomly, I chose Peoria for my crossover story. Why? Because I am INSANE.

Well, you know, if it hasn't been done before, nobody can say that you're doing it wrong. *nods*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
that... is a very good point

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
*goes to google Peoria* because thoush I have heard of it before I have NO CLUE where it is!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
IL. No idea why Tony was there though- We know he went to college at Ohio State, before that Rhode Island Military Academy, before that lived with his family in NY (Long Island)

Wasn't that just 2k when you mailed me??

The Impala is - possibly - like Jack and a fandom of its own?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-24 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
yep- it keeps growing. I really need to decide how/where I'm going with it to see where to take it.

One of these days I will plan a story out before I write it. One of these days
