I think there should be a different name for some of these aspects. For instance, when characters are doing invoking of fictional (relative to the
dimension(s) the story takes place in), and consciously splicing in things they see as a good idea from a fictional source, we can call it a Invoked crossover
(The Three Magical Knights), but I think its a different, but related, thing when a character invokes a crossover and things start to run in parallels to the
invoked crossover via people that haven't heard of the series in question (Gaijin). The second case I'd want to call an invoked fusion, it seems like
a parser issue that I want to tweak the name there.
So would 'Invoked Fusion' make sense in the case that an invoked crossover starts corrupting the time line or whatever to the point that the one
invoking the crossover ends up more than LARPing the crossover?
Edit: It suddenly occurs to me that when viewed in these terms the anime version of Martian Successor Nadesico is basically the story of one deranged fanboy
pilot trying to invoke a crossover... and somehow convincing other that this is a good idea... fighting a group of people that started off trying to invoke a
crossover and having their descendants living in a invoked metafusion. Meta as they are aware they are doing this. Trippy.
