Anime Crossover - a phenomenon or just stupid fanfic?


Ever seen this logo before? If you had once, you might have know what is this website is all about?

This one is but one of the non-profit website that offers people worldwide to write their own stories based on notable stories made by the real writers. Take Jules Verne's stories at instance. His story, "Twenty Thousands Leagues Under the Sea" had been made into people's own fiction.

Some people made their own plots based on the original creation. When you explore further in Fanfiction.net, many of the writers made their own part of stories based from popular ones, such as their own Harry Potter. In Anime field, there are thousands of them.

However, there are some of them too, that makes crossover in two or more stories at one time. Crossover is defined as a story that plots from two or more characters from different stories. LXG (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) is consisting seven major characters - Vampire, Captain Nemo (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), Immortal, Invisible Man (Same Title), Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain's storyline), Dr Jekyll and Allan Quartermain. Does these characters remind us about something?

In Anime, any crossover stories made by fans would be more about battles, love-triangle, or maybe some plot changes that come from the real plot itself. In one fanfic Evangelion, a writer uses Asuka Langley Soryu as pilot of Gundam instead of Eva-02. If you want to know more about these crossovers and fanfic made, log on to this website : FanFiction ~ Where Your Imagination Soars
