flewellynOkay, so I'm not a huge fan of fanfic. I like writing stuff, and I like reading stuff...but I prefer to write stuff about my OWN stuff. I will gladly be inspired by the works of others, but I want to make my own plots, my own settings, and my own characters. It's just a thing.
I'm also not usually fond of reading fanfic. I've made some exceptions, but most of the time I am not interested. I find, in particular, the idea of crossovers to be hideously wrong. To me, it doesn't make sense to mix together two fictional worlds, which have different assumptions and serve different narrative needs.
But, doing so humorously can be a delightful bit of evil fun, and so I have lately found myself trying to think of the worst possible crossover ideas ever. Paul T. Riddell, former sci-fi and comics writer, came up with my first entry: Absolutely Fabulous/Farscape.
Here are some of my own:dread welcome them in comments!
EDIT: One more: A Midsummer Night's Dream/Night of the Living Dead.

Here are some of my own:
- The Shield/Diff'rent Strokes
- Stargate SG-1/My Little Pony
- Hellraiser/Care Bears
- Aliens/Harry Potter (whence the post title)
- Silent Hill/Sesame Street
