Crossovers are fun to write, but not so much to read unless I know the author is capable. As such, in this regard I'll be incredibly self centered and say I only like it when I do it. Though some other authors I know are capable have written crossovers, it's been with stuff I've never seen so I don't read them. Quote:

I've read a few good crossovers here and there, but I find that they either have to be short pieces or long epics that go into great detail and builds up plot-holes in both series . The short pieces keep too much of that OOCness from coming up, and the epics usually manage to have the space to properly blend the two series.

Posting here too.
This serves as a sort of Prologue (quality might be lacking) for the character of Project V. I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with her, but she have a high chance of tying in with Wallachia. Spoiler for The Empty Shell Searching For Answers:

"Wolf's Moonlight" was a crossover, y'know (not to mention a certain other fic idea of yours that you have two finished, unpublished chapters for *ahem*). Though rather than "characters from story A meet characters from story B," it's more like "put the cast of story A into the world-setting and lead roles of story B and see how the changes in personality change the outcome of events." Which is kind of what my My-HiME series does, come to think of it...

I always forget that those are sorts of crossovers, so I guess I can say I like those when they're well done (though tbh I can forgive a lot in the name of good writing) but I've never met a Character a meets character b story that I could stand. |

I love crossovers, especially crossovers done right! What I love more is that Nanoha has an excuse for crossovers because of TSAB.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't think of a Nanoha/Slayers crossover, the queens of beam spam? There's no way I wouldn't think about it: I kind of feel Lina Inverse might be too powerful an opponent. I feel like Lina is a combination of Fate, Nanoha and Hayate: Lina's an all range fighter she can go hand-to-hand, take a lot of pain (thanks to her sister, Luna); good with a sword (again, courtesy of Luna who is the Knight of Ceipheid supposedly, Luna is a little better than Gourry, which is saying something); bring out the Ragna Blade (yes, it requires a lot of incantation, Chaos spells take a lot of time to set-up, in this regard Lina's like Hayate) which is similar to Fate's Zamber mode but she can only bring it to play for a limited time. Lina's Dragon Slave is equivalent to Starlight Breaker but its not Lina's gamebreaker move, no, that would be the Giga Slave. This... I think is what makes Lina break way ahead of the game. Giga Slave doesn't just destroy gods or destroy planets but it can end the universe. Also, Lina cheats. A lot. She's more than a combat pragmatist, fair fight for Lina means she's going to stack every advantage on her side. Every time. One of the things that can level the playing field for everyone is that Lina is extremely reluctant to bring the Giga Slave into play. Plus, Nanoha, Fate and Hayate could always take advantage of Lina's greed. But can you imagine Lina allying herself with the Three Aces? *shivers* Terrifying. Yeah... I've been thinking about this for a while. |

Lina is the daughter of Merchants. While she is an absurdly powerful sorceress, you can spot almost every logic in her action as profit/loss thinking. That's why she's cutthroat. That's why she's 'greedy'. That's why she cheats, stacks the deck, and takes every opertunity she gets to WIN. That's how she goes from being short tempered 14yr old redhead to outwitting Mazoku in no time flat. She's always thinking like a business owner. |

I guess its why I found myself loving the Nanoha cast too, because they're also, in their own way, pragmatic. Maybe, I just love combat pragmatists!. |

I guess shes like Nanoha in the way that she has the mentality of "I love this so much I'd rather die than give up what I makes me who I am." Shiny's RadiantBeam Avatar Counter: 2

And now, for something different, I'm FINALLY getting out a new chapter to Red Jewel Diaries, my continuation of Crisis but with more relationship focus. I wanted Heritage to be chapter 2, but between what I had written and the heavily detailed notes, it was over half-way done. Except all that was lost when my computer died. Still awaiting word if it can be retrieved. So in the meantime, I'm shuffling things and putting this out as chapter 2. With luck, Heritage will be chapter 3. So, without further ado, here is the rough draft to chapter 2: Red Jewel Diaries Chapter 2: Family Spoiler for Red Jewel Diaries Chapter 2: Family:
Wondering if I wasn't subtle enough, or too subtle. Let me know if I should change names :P And for the notes I plan to attach when I post to ff.net: Spoiler for Author's notes:

Thanks for the feedback, and let me know if I'm not addressing your concerns correctly!

I assume she talks with people, but no real close friends. At least that's my interpretation until I see more detailed information otherwise. I didn't want her to come across as a real loner, just as someone who has felt a bit out of place with no real close friends (hence, she concentrates more on her studies and learning from people like Yuuno). I also figure that, since she's basically the church's holy person, that might mean some special treatment, which might make other kids resent her. Part of a way to generate issues for character growth later, and to show why she ends up good friends with Corona (and later Rio). I'll adjust it a bit and see if I can make it sound a bit better.

But my thoughts currently are: I figure he could get the basics down in 6 months or so. No idea how complicated teleporting is to learn, but movie manga suggests flying takes at least a couple of months and Fate was talented. The more advanced stuff like hostile teleports would take him longer, just as a guess. It was more to tie into the fact that he does know how and is fairly good at it by the series, suggesting he had plenty of time to work at it and get good. There's a wide range of teleports which I assume require their own work: Self-teleport to a place you can see Self-teleport to a place you can't see Work on increasing Distance Taking more than 1 person with you Taking people who are fighting against it, with you But again, I can tidy that section up to reflect that if it's a real concern. Thanks for the input.^^ |
