My version of hobbit-ness

This is a resurrection of the crossover fic meme from last year. (In the hobbit tradition of giving gifts on one's birthday.) I'm slightly ahead of time, I realise, but I thought best to collect the prompts now & maybe there will be fic on the weekend for people. It's [livejournal.com profile] fic_rush time again, you know.

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.


For something like this, I'm willing to do almost anything I've seen/read.

So, here goes, but anything I've mentioned here before is fair game.

Doctor Who (all eras)
Spooks
Buffy & Angel
X-Files
ST - but only Voyager, I'm afraid.
Carry On films
Allo Allo
Dungeons & Dragons (The cartoon!)
The Mummy
Gosford Park
Love Actually
Red Dwarf
The Brittas Empire
On The Up
Poirot & Miss Marple
New Tricks
Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes (with the very important rider that I can't write Gene.)
Chalet School series
Diana Wynne Jones (well, I'd have a stab)
Anne Perry books
I know Discworld, but I'm feeling wimpish about making the attempt...
...But for the moment at any rate, I can get away with Blandings (PG Wodehouse) &, so I'd have a stab at  Jeeves and Wooster, too.
Georgette Heyer
Harry Potter
Press Gang
Wilkie Collins (esp. The Moonstone & The Woman in White)
Jane Austen
Charlotte Bronte
I have read / read an awful lot of 'classics', plus for work-reasons, I read a huge amount of teen and children's books, so try me if you think of something.   
Star Wars
Adrian  Plass
I Capture The Castle
Fairy  tales
Blake's 7
Hotel Babylon
House of Eliott
I could make a very bad stab at S1-3 The West Wing, too.

I am a very scary person, I now realise. Where did everyone go?

Oh well, there goes my Gene Hunt meets Duggan idea! ;D

Most generous of you, btw!

Please can I have Inspector Japp out of Poirot (the Philip Jackson TV version) meets the Seventh Doctor in the course of some escapade?

I think given Seven and Ace's usual behaviour that them having committed the crime would be the more likely option! ;D

Heh, well, you never know. I think that's another one that the DbyAistas have discussed at some point, a bit like Seven/Beatrix Potter, so...you never know... I think Gene's dialogue would be a bit hard to write well, and not just because of its relentless offensiveness; he has a very distinct sort of voice, I find. Duggan would almost certainly punch him...and get punched straight back...

"Ignore them, they're just establishing their credentials."

(Though that was said of Ancelyn and Bambera, whose relationship developed... I think I need brain bleach now.)

That's...that's a mental image and a half. I'm going to need more than brain bleach...

[personal profile] john_amend_all 2010-05-16 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I never. It would seem that there's a market for these shiny new Joo Janta 2000 Peril-Sensitive Slash Goggles after all.

[identity profile] jjpor.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it would be fight fic, definitely. Now, if we could just work in some joke about Sam being the spitting image of the NuWho Master...

But yeah, probably best not to commit. It's already starting to expand worryingly in my mind, despite the brain bleach application.

[identity profile] jjpor.livejournal.com 2010-05-18 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet your words make a worrying amount of sense...

But yes, probably best to keep it simple. Sam Tyler/NuWho Master fic can wait til next time! ;D

But yes, this is my new cracktastic theory for just what the flipping heck is going on in Ashes to Ashes. It's the Land of Fiction from the Mind Robber; Sam Tyler _is_ NuWho Master, who somehow ended up there after EoT. Which makes Alex Drake Romana, that creepy DCI in the mac possibly the Black Guardian, and Gene Hunt either the Twelfth Doctor, the White Guardian, the Celestial Toymaker or some strange gestalt entity composed of all three of them. Or maybe Rassilon. Which just leaves me to decide who all of the other characters might be...

I'll be very, very disappointed if this doesn't turn out to be the actual real explanation on Friday! XD

[identity profile] jjpor.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I think I just possibly might be... ;D

Oh yeah, somebody has almost certainly written that one. As for Duggan-Gene, well it's another one on the list anyway.

Do you feel up to little Amelia Pond meeting Willy Wonka?

[identity profile] belantana.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
YES PLEASE

Luke Skywalker meets.... Dare I say it? Chris from LoM/A2A

(I'm in the corner).

ALSO YES PLEASE

Mickey Smith and Han Solo
Fourth Doctor and the witch from Rapunzel
Luna Lovegood and Miss Marple

Martha meets Harry Pearce (what if she joined M15 not UNIT after the YTNW?)
ext_3965: (Harry Ruth Spooks OTP)

[identity profile] persiflage-1.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that's a possibility too - though I maintain that Martha would last longer than your average field officer, after surviving the Master and the YTNW!

Who says it's not soya milk?

Don't be killing off Martha! I'll be *very* upset if you do that!

Phew!!

[personal profile] paranoidangel 2010-05-14 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
How about Kenny (Press Gang) and Vila (B7)?

[identity profile] belantana.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, I loved this meme last time! Um um um... Tom Quinn and Harry Potter? That would be amusing. Or! Evie from The Mummy (since you offered!) and someone from The West Wing? I don't know The West Wing yet but your fic seems to be good at getting me into something new. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, by the way! I am ashamed to say that I wrote you birthday fic but it is terrible and I needs some serious rewriting. So, it will be few-weeks-belated birthday fic!

I hope you have a lovely day nevertheless *throws streamers and balloons*

Gordon Brittas/Arnold Rimmer seems almost too obvious...

[identity profile] daibhid-c.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Memory like ... the thing you drain rice in, sorry.

I'm tempted to go for another casting gag (Sam Tyler and Nu-Master? Lynda Day and Emma from "The Curse of Fatal Death"? Jools Siviter and Bertie Wooster?? The main character from "On The Up" whose name I've forgotten and Gerry Standing???) but instead I'd like to see Dana Scully deal with the existence of Spike from Buffy/Angel.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day and that you'll have a wonderful year (it still counts, it's still May 14 for me).

Hmmmmmm, crossover... how about Captain Jack Harkness and D.S. Sandra Pullman from "New Tricks"?

[identity profile] curuchamion.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Good grief, the things I'm not familiar with!

I don't know which bits of Georgette Heyer you're best at, but if Miss Marple could meet the title character (Hugo) from The Unknown Ajax, that would be awesome.

Or, under the category of "children's books", have you ever read the Swallows and Amazons series? I would love to see Liz Shaw meet anyone from those books, especially Captain Nancy (wow).

Or - this is probably quite impossible, but do you think you could do some kind of interaction between the TARDIS and the Millennium Falcon? I has major vehicle love.

(I also have, as you can see, major improbable-crossover love. If these requests are too utterly impossible for you to write, anything involving original!Star Wars and any era of Who would be lovely. Thank you very much.)

What is Miss Marple doing in the past, though?

Miss Marple doesn't have a fixed birthdate; it's always 74 years or so before the 'present day' of the story. If anything, she gets younger and more sprightly the later the book is set. So, as with UNIT, one can just murmur 'dating controversy' and then write her into any point in history.
