Crossovering 2015 | Schedule & Announcement

[galfridian]

Welcome to the second annual Crossovering exchange! Nominations begin June 1st, so start thinking about those crossovers.

This year's exchange will run exactly like last year's, with one exception: We've eased-up a little on requirements for signups. You'll still be required to make a minimum of 3 requests and 3 offers, but you will be required to list one less fandom for each one — 3 fandoms per request and 4 fandoms per offer.

We'll go over each step of the process as we go, but feel free to review the FAQ.

Crossovering 2015 Schedule

Sign-ups: June 16 - June 27
Assignments out: June 30
Assignments due: August 27
Final Due Date for Pinch-Hits/Edits: September 3

Authors revealed: September 9

I'm so happy! I saw a tag_set that might have belonged to one of you that suggested strongly we were going be nominating *by* crossover, (like, nominate Harry Potter/Sherlock, then nominate Avengers/Kushiel's Dart) and I was debating whether to stick my hand up and be a nuisance and say "But... I liked the first way..."

Anyway, now I don't have to.

And I am here with bells on!!

[galfridian]

Yeah, we tested a couple different ideas, but ultimately decided last year's method was best!

:D

Should we brainstorm on this post, or will you put another post up for brainstorming at some point before/when nominations start?

Avengers/Kushiel's Dart.

AVENGERS/KUSHIEL'S DART.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH LET'S TALK AVENGERS/KUSHIEL'S DART.

Bruce in Balm, because of his propensity for healing and helping others.

Tony in Bryony. (But he hangs out with the Eglantines all the time.)

I feel like Steve would maybe be a Dahlia? Or Camellia? ETA: Husband just said he would be a Cassiline Brother.

I'm having real trouble with Clint; I keep coming back to Heliotrope though.

Thor I'm thinking Orchis.

Loki would probably wish he was in Mandrake and, like, not be.

Natasha wouldn't be in Mandrake and she wouldn't be in Valerian; I feel like she'd be in Jasmine because that's the kind of perfectionistic training I'd expect of her. (Not Camellia style perfection, but absolute mastery of her art.)

Pepper would be another Bryony, I think?

Coulson would be the sweetest little Cereus.

I am legit terrified to try to sort Nick Fury.

AHAHAHAAHAH

I only actually chose that idea because some people on a forum I use are really committed to the ship of Steve Rogers/Phedre. I don't really understand it, but I admire their enthusiasm.

But sure, let's talk Avengers' Dart head canons if you like.

Actually, Camellia or Jasmine or Bryony works pretty well for me for Natasha, just because she is precise, and where you earn your marque doesn't necessarily determine where you go after that. I agree with Bruce in Balm I have no idea about Steve, but I'm not sure about Cassiline. He might be even more of a wildcard than that. Or, well - a soldier.

Clint: something about stability? Something about protection? Some House that really knows itself?

C'mon, Nick Fury would totally be in Valerian. It's what's best for you.

Steve/Phedre. Good gods. And yet I'd read it to see how it worked out.

FURY IN VALERIAN. That makes an amazing sort of sense XD

On that basis I guess Clint could be Balm as well, which would be interesting.
