odd thought that occured to me as I was waking up this morning.
When young Harry Potter starts causing odd things to happen, Vernon tries to get rid of the boy by giving him to a 'religious cult' (in vernon's opinion).
When Hagrid comes to get Harry for the first time he finds a rather different boy. Harry, Krishna. __________________

We're all familiar with the "fake movie trailer" style of anime music video...
So, which concept is worse: When Hare Met Guu (Hare+Guu, When Harry Met Sally) or Gain and Gainer (Overman King Gainer, Dumb and Dumber)?

The four horsemen of the aporncalypse
- Happosai - the first, the eternal lechery of old men, who came before all the others, and will surely endure once all else has crumbled into dust (though not necessarily by all that long)
- Ataru Moroboshi, the second, the luckless but exuberant lechery of young men, always pursuing the moment with no thought for patience, prudence, or probability.
- Ryo Saeba, the fourth, the lechery that is a weakness to all women. It is the fatal flaw in men of profound skill and talent who can be undone by any pretty face or shapely body that winks at them
- and, of course, Lupin, the third.

Bob, you sure you really didn't want to post in the "Crossover bunnies that SHOULD be" thread? Can't you just see Zonker giving vampires some of his famous brownies to help them out with their condition? Of course, you'd have to worry about the munchies! ^_^

Nah, it's obviously a crossover with my previously-mentioned xXxHolic - Cage has been sent to the Buffyverse for some reason.

I was just reading a Potterfic that spent a bit of time talking about how Wizarding trunks and tents were, in the author's words, 'dimensionally trancendental', with the upshot being that they were bigger on the inside than the outside.
Yeah, we all know that, but the phrase 'bigger on the inside than the outside', in close proximity to the concept of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, got me thinking: could wizards build a TARDIS, or some more primitive version of one?
They could just create the sort of dimensional pocket those trunks and tents used, and link it to an old police call box, which takes care of the size issue. It wouldn't be near-infinite, TARDIS-like space without some Major Hoodoo, but it'd be big enough. Then comes the time issue.
It's a common fan idea in time-travel fics that the amount of mass sent through time directly influences the energy cost of the transit, to the point of making the transit impossible. So what about spells? Does magic have mass? If it doesn't, you could just send a police-box conjuration/transfiguration into the target time, and then just send the dimensional pocket access to that new box, while removing the old one.
The image of a TARDIS knockoff with the central rotor filled with time-turner sand won't get out of my head, and neither will the idea of Arthur Weasely being the reason why the TARDIS controls are so physically impossible for one man to use.--------------------

Would a Mecha Musume crossover self-insert be any better?

You forget, Bob, that a character like that has a name:
Gotenks.
Pure Calvin-as-a-Super-Sayajin.
Given that, I can easily imagine the little hellion causing all sorts of trouble with Goten, Trunks, and Pan as co-conspirators... Though I'd imagine we'd see some pretty epic scuffles between Calvin and Pan, given Calvin's attitude towards girls. Just to make things even between the sexes (and for more laughs), throw in Susie Durkin as well. ^_^ Black Aeronaut Technologies Group

Personally, I think it sounds *great*.
But then, I always love stories that involve transfictionality.
So, I've been playing Steambot Chronicles, in which many of the characters are named after herbs or other flavorings - Coriander, Basil, Savory, Vanilla...
And in Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar, the season fairies are all named after similar things - Sugar, Salt, Pepper, Ginger...
These two things cause me, while bored at work, to go "Hmmmm."
I've also been contemplating a Haruhi/Operation Sanctuary crossover. I can't think of any way to make it interesting; the only thing I've been able to imagine so far is the Haruhi cast going to the school in OS, but probably not interacting with the other cast in any significant way. Still, Haruhi would look quite fetching in that school uniform...
-Morgan."Mikuru-chan molested me! I'm... so happy!"
-Haruhi, "The Ecchi of Haruhi Suzumiya"
