Phuck yeah. I find it very entertaining to do Harry Potter/Gundam Wing crossovers
I also find it very depressing to think about how Harry Potter is not real life, though, so... :c

Lol! That's ok, Lunah. *pats head* Just think, if Harry Potter were real then so would Voldemort. And that can't be a good thing at all.

I.... actually am a weird fan and hate cross overs. xD I haven't found any that made sense yet. D: I have to have it logically told to me how Sailor Moon, for example, is in the GW universe. Since technology is so advance in GW, it doesn't make sense to me.

Lol. Definitely not weird. I thought the crossover lovers were the weirdos.
Yeah. There are a ton of weird crossovers that really don't have much in the way of logic. Most of those, I find, are the ones where the author is just looking for more pretty smut to put together.
Gen crossovers can be some of the most interesting reads ever because the good ones give decent reasons for how the worlds can collide. Some stick with the (sometimes overused) notion of alternate realities and whatnot but then some shows have ARs as canon (such as Stargate and FMA).
You can only suspend so much disbelief.

There are several stargate GW crossovers i like and the gate is a natural opening to facilitate crossovers other series aren't so easily bridged.
My best friend is crazy for GW harry potter crossovers i personally thinh most of them end up sounding pretty much the same. i am sick and tired of the whole 'family reconstruction' idea.
If you are going to go to the trouble of making a crossover you need to try to stay true to the spirit of both worlds and have a plausable (unique) reason why they characters are interacting in the first place...
there was one really hp/gw crossover I really liked where harry's anamagus form was a chineese dragon trouble was he couldn't turn back and ended up being the shenlong dragon that protected WuFei's clan (since they were the decendants of cho chang) I thought is was a cool idea, but its been left unfinished -bummer-

While that sounds pretty... interesting, I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan. I felt J.K. could have done so much with the books. She has potential, but there were a few things I would have changed.
I'm huge into romance novels right now. Which.... is why I haven't replied to my RP yet. I blame fantasy/romance novels. And my husband.

Word, Windy. That spirit and plausibility are tough to find sometimes, but definitely worth it. I'm a crossover whore, err...well maybe more of an escort since I do have high standards. I've got a delicious account mainly to rec my favorite crossovers.
*shakes fist at adh-* Rp more! Or I might wear out my mouse, clicking the refresh button all the time. XP
J.K. has awesome world building skills she just needs to work a bit on plot and consistency.

I admit nothing!
Rain check for the AIM thing? I've only slept about 7 hours since Friday morning (thanks to my college's 5th annual anime/gaming con and needing to finish up my portion of the senior art show) and am starting to hallucinate a bit. And by 'bit' I don't really mean 'bit'.
I'm about to pass out right now.
P.S. If my last RP post sounds a bit too wonky, send me a note and I'll redo it in the morning.

Actually i'm not much of a potter fan myself, i refuse to read the books till i see all the movies else i get too critical... actually i think those 'things' you would have changed feeling is why there is so much fan fiction. It is harder to play in a world where the writers has already closed up all the plot holes collect loose ends and made everything neat and tidy before usshering the characters into their happily ever after... it is the 'what do you mean they canselled me series!!! feelings that get the stories rolling. I'm working on a gundam wing escaflowne crossover (my first real crossover ever) I got the idea because there are some of the same voice actors in both (kirby morro and brian drummand immediately come to mind) seeing Zechs & Allen and Heero & Van face down should be interesting because they are essentially the same character (only different.) |

Let me know when you've got a good chunk of that crossover done (or if you need a beta...*whistles innocently*) so that I can read it.
And characters who are the same (only different) are awesome in the extreme!

I have got a friend going over it for general 'reaction' imput but he hasn't seen escaflowne so wouldn't be able to tell if the princaples are in character or not so i may just take you up on that if you are really interested (PM me with your details) One warning i am dislexic and punctuation is not my friend.

Wanna phoenix down? I have two actually. One for after Voldy AKs you for (a) calling him Voldy and (b) entering his personal bubble of space with that hug.
I try to stay away from fandoms that appeared before the internets started self governing the Sues. In my mind anyway, Sailor Moon didn't make the cut. I think that's the only thing I've never actually read any fanfic for. Hmmm....there was possibly a cameo in Court of Souls but that's it.
I prefer my masked gentleman thieves a bit older and wearing white.

I didn't watch sailor moon long enough to get a feel for the characters and that was in translation and mangled rediculously by television so what I've read in fan fic has mostly confused me and the crossovers even more so.
l have also enjoyed a few wing/seed stories but In my view mingling the characters from one gundam series with another is more of an AU than a crossover.
And i prefer Zechs without the mask...dressed down the way he was on pecemillion.
