I was about to go onto FFR to rant about this, actually.

"Crossover" would be the Pacific Rim characters and setting interacting with and within another fandom's setting, or characters. That's an entirely different thing from a Pacific Rim AU, or a Jaeger AU, in which the characters of another fandom are Jaeger pilots or living in the Pacific Rim universe.

A LOT of people are labelling their Pacific Rim AUs as crossovers, and I can definitely see why someone would be pissed off about this.

That annoys me in every context, really.

I am weird and pedantic / neurotic about crossovers I guess. There are very strict rules (in my head, that I made up, that no one else follows)

Same here, anon. Same here.

I agree completely. That annoys me, too. It's not a big deal but it's disappointing, especially in smaller fandoms, to find new fics in your fandom and then find out they're not about the canon characters.

I'd like to see a rant posted to FFRs about this. I was looking for it actually. I'd like to read what non anons have to say about the issue.
