Idrelle_Miocovani posted:^^^ Now that would be quite interesting. I think LOTR/SW crossovers are fairly hard to pull off properly -- any crossover dealing with a place where technology meets medieval arts would be difficult in many ways to pull off well. Of course, you could always make it incredibly insane and turn it into a humor fic that doesn't make too much sense... One thing for crossovers I would highly suggest not doing unless you are prepared to be totally insane is combining six different fandoms together. Sooner or later it's going to get to you and drive you mad.
Drabba_the_Hutt posted:No, those wouldn't be crossovers. A crossover requires that specific fictional elements of both properties be present, the obvious example being characters. Plot elements only count if they still happen within the framework of the property, and the first thing a recast does is take them out of that framework and put them in another. I don't know if there's another standard term for them, but I think "recast" works well. ["Parody" and "pastiche" would also describe them, but those are much broader terms.]
