Re: Favorite Crossover Fics

I've recommended Crossed Paths before, but it's still the best crossover I've ever read. It starts out as Indiana Jones/Samurai Jack/My Little Pony, then keeps adding more elements and somehow making them fit together. It's the best example I've ever seen of how to balance an ensemble cast so they all feel like multifaceted characters who're important to the narrative--there's a bit of cast herding (literally, in the ponies' case), but it's still a story where a samurai and a dressmaker are both valued team members.

My(stara's) Little Ponies is, above all, an amazing feat of worldbuilding. It not only fits Equestria into the Mystara setting, it fits Equestria's lore and cosmology together with Mystara's, finding points of commonality that force a radical reconsideration of certain points of history and mythology. At a smaller scale, it's also a triumph of character development, with a protagonist who by all rights should be a massive Mary Sue, but who remains flawed, believable, and likable.

I'm not fond of how the Canterlot Deportation Agency series turned out--it's starting to feel really misanthropic--but Ben is still an amazing view into the worst-case scenario for contact between cultures. I'm not going to reveal what it's a crossover with. Just read it.
