Crossover fanfiction: why can't it be better? For my sake?

[timepiececlock]

::while reading a crappy ATLA / Stargate crossover that never should have been attempted but dammit I really have never read an ATLA crossover before that I didn't write myself::

Oh this is so bad. I can't even describe the reasons this is bad, it's just that bad. Words can't begin to explain...

This crossover needs some serious Methos. I don't care if Methos is from a totally different show unconnected to those two. If I have to read this badness because I'm that starved for crossovers, at least put Methos into the story. It's the LEAST the author could do for us at this point.

If you think about it, no crossover is really 100% until you add some quality Methos time.



This post serves a double purpose: It is also meant as a plea for ATLA crossovers. Anything you read that you liked, please send me links! Please please. PLEASE.

Methos? Should I know this?

God yes- I always get bit by the crossover bug, which is terrible because I have never found any good fic in that genre. :(

Methos is the coolest character on Highlander: The Series. HL is the show that's crossable with just about EVERYTHING. It spans timelines so anything that takes place in our world-- in any century-- is fair game for a HL crossover. As is any country or location. It also lends itself well to stories about supernatural powers, like The X Files, or Buffy, or even comics like XMen.

It would be hard to cross it with ATLA seeing as ATLA takes place in a mystical fantasy world, but still, it wouldn't hurt the fic at this point.
