Cross-overs

As long as people have been telling stories, they've been coming up with cross-overs. What would happen if Hercules met Theseus? The whole story of the Argonauts is one giant cross-over. I've succumbed to this lure as well, in its most extreme form, I fear. I've begun an "epic" cross-over, of the sort that will probably take forever to finish.

Apotheosis

A story encompassing several different anime and manga series, as well as several other sources of inspiration. A story streching from the distant past to the far future. One unholy mess of a story, that keeps growing. The series crosses over Ranma 1/2 (manga), Sailor Moon (anime), and Tenchi Muyo (OAV), with tie-ins to Birdy the Mighty, Vision of Escaflowne (anime), Spriggan, another anime series to be named later, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai," A. Merritt's "The Face in the Abyss," two radio series - "The Fourth Tower of Inverness" and "Ruby: Adventures of a Galactic Gumshoe," and two old pulp series, the Shadow and the Avenger. Possible cameos and one-shots include Bubble Gum Crisis, Armitage III. Descriptions omitted if they might contain spoilers.
