Any Good Buffy Crossovers? I don't care who the main is.

this is more along the lines of "you mileage may vary"
Yes. Starts out good, then Xander ends up banished from his home universe, apparently never to return. I stopped reading after that.
Why must every other Buffy fic be a crossover?
It's because one of the most popular Buffy fanfic sites, twisting the hellmouth, has a rule where you must post a certain amount of crossover fics before you're allowed to post a pure Buffy fic. Which sucks ass.
Wait... Seriously?
Yeah, I posted a fic on there about Xander being the council representative that was sent to Los Angeles when there was a rogue slayer about instead of Andrew and it got deleted and a mod sent me a message that basically said that I wasn't allowed to post it yet (and that I did my disclaimer wrong lol).

(I actually went looking for the mod's post; couldn't find it but apparently I've got 1 person tracking my account on tth. Lol, why track an empty account? ^_^ )

For some reason the Buffy fandom is inundated with Stargate crossovers even though Stargate is a show pretty much primarily about disproving religions through scientific and military deduction. I blame Tassos and <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-3138/Tassos+Bridges.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Bridges</a> for being so good.

My favourite crossover is dogbertcarrol's <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-16127/dogbertcarroll+Lacking+an+Anchor.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Lacking an Anchor</a> which is a fic crossing over with DC comics (though the most recent chapters have been a bit weird, the initial ones are always worth coming back to in my opinion).
Am I the only one here who get severely annoyed with Dogbert constant bashing of Buffy and Willow ? They were hypocritical bitches in the later seasons, which paradoxically is what make them human, we get it, so stop applying their late seasons characterization to their season 1 selves already. :sweat2:

You're not the only one. He's really good but the bashing can get annoying. Best taken in small doses or space them apart and I'm usually fine. It's a great thing that I tend to forget what annoys me very quickly so I don't stay annoyed very long.
 
He didn't used to be as bad (what's seen in Lacking is pretty subtle and funny) but it seems that each time he writes something new it gets more and more bitter.

Personally, I think he suffer the same problem as Kestral. He's burn out and only write out of habits. It certainly feels that way. :huh.:

I'm a great fan of the <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/AuthorStories-7196/litmouse.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Father Goose</a> series by litmouse.

They are post-series, and ignore "Season 8" as they were written before the comics came out. The main BtVS characters are Xander and Faith, with a ship between the two.

Crossovers include: Law and Order SVU, Alias, Stargate, and Gilmore Girls<sup><sub>(!)</sub></sup>.

The first in the series is <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-10229/litmouse+Father+Goose+and+the+Black+Knight.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Father Goose and the Black Knight</a>. I'd class it as primarily Romance & Redemption, with a strong but secondary plot that is Action/Adventure.

Beyond that, check <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/topfanfic.php?view=recommendations' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>TTF top fics by rec</a> and <a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/topfanfic.php?view=hitsperchapter' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>TTF top fics by hits</a>.

Continuing the OT conversation, dogbertcarroll really is getting repetitive, but I'll still read anything he <s>writes</s> dictates.
 
I've skimmed over past entries and I don't think this has been posted yet.

Buffy X-overs - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 25 - Words: 55,972 - Reviews: 208 - Updated: 3-9-06 - Published: 3-3-05


WARNING!! THIS STORY IS A DEADFIC

Right so I was skimming through the <s>landfill</s> err, Fanfiction.net again cause I was bored and found this little unpolished gem.

As I said this fic is pretty much dead, hasn't been updated since '06, BUT its of decent length and quality. higher quality than what you would usually run into on ff.net. Personally towards the end there it looks like the author lost their steam for it and kind of wrote themselves into a writer's block.

Here's a recent one I've been reading.

<a href='http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-27516/Oxnate+Emerald+Dawn.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Emerald Dawn on TtH</a>

It's a YAHF (I think that's right) where Xander dresses as Green Arrow. It's fairly written but suffers from a slight tendency of "telling not showing".
 
Ya know Spark of Genius had a great idea, I didn't even mind how he got tossed into the DC universe, what I did start to mind was how Xander got turned into Superman 2.0 (immune to magic)..

Is there anyone else out there who's writing a story where the main protagonist is a Spark?

Hawkeye is cooler and has military training.

Everybody in the Buffyverse has, at one time, had either the idiot ball, or the black hat, or both.

Though I like the universe, I've always had a dislike of Buffy as a character, and I don't know why. Just something about her that annoys me.
 
while ones use the bashing to rant and debase characters others use it as a lame plotdevice.
OTOH the girls did sublte thing in the firsts seasons
and Xander did less serious(?) things than them in those, and his stupidness were more along a plotdevice.
my question is Why must both be Bashed if they did around the same stupid shit? especially the cheating thing IIRC and AFAIK you need two to Cheat.
or can we get a tally?

Depends on which version of Hawkeye. The ones in the movie and Earth's Mightiest Heroes were cool. The one in one of the recent Amazing Spider-Man issues was kind of a douche.

But I don't think I've seen Hawkeye used before in a fic, so I think I'm missing your point.

movie Hawkeye, obviously. No stupid suit either.

By comparison to Green Arrow maybe not as good with a bow but Clint Barton being a trained soldier means he's not just a one trick pony like Oliver Queen is.

Bows and arrows just WORK for hunting vampires, shafts of wood and you don't need to get close. Its great for a normal human like Xander, in fact I'm just surprised he never picked up in the show. I mean I know crossbows are a lot easier to use and Xander really has a reason for wanting to fight I'm just so disappointed they didn't do more with his character.

Still as far as "super" heroes go Hawkeye's skills are theoretically attainable by even us in the real world. Same with Black Widow and... oh. my. god.

What if that Halloween Xander went as Hawkeye and Willow as Black Widow? Oh my, oh my, oh my. :lol:

IMO, it would all depend on which versions of the characters they become. Ultimate Widow was a bit of a bitch.
 
I want this to update... NOW.

Summary: Part way through season 3, Xander was knocked unconscious by Angel as a way to convince Faith that he had reverted to Angelus. The plan was to find out what the Mayor was up to. What if Xander was found by Sunnydale's nightlife while knocked out...

This story's premise is based on an idea that's rarely utilized in fanfiction. While this story does suffer from some minor cliches, it still looks promising. Time will tell if this story is any good.

I like his other stuff. The name made me think of the Honor Harrington series, however, which would have been more interesting, IMO. I've never found Star Trek to be particularly engaging.
 
Here's one. It's an xover between the Thor movie (and eventually the Avengers) and Buffy, with Darcy as a Slayer.

A bit crackish, so don't take it too seriously.

Another Marvel movieverse xover, with Xander at the wheel. Even more a crack fic.
