X meets X and the Crossover name game

[alias_sqbr]

Flamebyrd made a post pondering the idea of a challenge for fic where one character of the pairing has the same name as a character from the other character's fandom. I thought about this and said I thought it would be more interesting to have it not necessarily pairing based, but with characters with the same name from different fandoms.

I thought about this some more and got Inspired.

Thus:
X meets X at AO3, open to anyone to submit their own works
X meets X at DeviantArt, a collection of pictures I've found (less strictly defined since it's just whatever strikes my fancy)

And the stuff I've created:
Parker meets Parker Spiderman/Leverage
By the Rhine Gilmore Girls/German mythology

Of course this will be a challenge for the tag wranglers :)

Flamebyrd has also made a google wave for playing around with these ideas, let me know if you want an invite.

I swear this was once a ficathon on LJ somewhere. I need to figure out where that was...

[alias_sqbr]

Oh, I'm sure it's been done before. I thought about looking and decided I couldn't be bothered :)

[aris-tgd.livejournal.com]

Not a complaint! I was just wondering if anything good had been written for it! :)

I have a fic on just this kind of premise that I have been trying to get around to finishing for ages.

("Psst! Your next line is: 'This is just the nudge I need to get it done.'")

No, I just thought I'd mention it. I probably won't ever finish it. I'm lazy.

("Oh, for...")

*coughs*

You know, this could be just the nudge you need to get it done... :D

I dug it out to see how much was left to do (hurrah for reverse psychology!), and it turns out that actually I had finished it, and put it aside for an appropriate moment to inflict on the world, then forgot that I'd finished it.

So I've dusted it off, changed a couple of words (no story is ever really finished), and - not being an AO3 member - submitted it to my usual fic archive.

I'll post a link here when it gets added, if my my AO3 membership application hasn't gone through before then.

AO3 came through first, so here it is:

Huzzah! And you added it to my collection, good good :)
