Here is an idea I got from a Sci-Fi/Fantasy forum that I visit occasionally. If you could cross books by two different authors, which ones would they be and why? Would it be so that two of your favorite characters could meet each other? Or to see an epic battle between the good guy(s) from one book against the bad guy(s) from another? Let's get creative here!

Personally I'd love cross Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland with Frank L. Baum's The Wizard of Oz. I think the Cheshire cat would have some REALLY interesting conversations with the Cowardly Lion ! biggrin.gif And I'd hate to see what the Wicked Witch would do to Humpty Dumpty! (Evil grin) I'll boil you inside your own shell and have you for breakfast my pretty! muah-ha-ha-ha

And wouldn't the Mad Hatter and White Rabbitt just LOVE munchkins? hehehehe

Hmmmm.... Isn't anyone interested in this game? sad.gif

Here's another one... Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars....

Aragon vs. Darth Vader - Darth Vader would win of course unless someone gave Aragon a lightsaber! Then, all bets are off!

Gollum meets Yoda - Hmmm biggrin.gif Now wouldn't THAT be a strange encounter!

Princess Leia meets (Oh, can't think of the elven girl's name just now - the one in love with Aragorn) - The elven girl is much prettier, but I like Leia's feistiness!

Hobbits meet Ewoks - Oh Lord! Did I have to go there???? biggrin.gif

Oooo! Crossovers! Lessee...

I'll borrow half of yours. Harry Potter meets Star Wars...

Harry and Luke form a support group to deal with their issues about being "just an average guy" and being a messiah.

Secretly, Luke also hooks up with Wormtail and forms another one for those who have lost hands for silly reasons.

Hermione and Leia meet. Eventually they have to be locked in a room of requirement, and after hearing several shrieked curses and blaster bolts fired, smoke erupts from the bottom of the door, and an eerie silence follows.

Dumbledore, Yoda and Obi-Wan sit down for an in-depth conversation about how conveying pearls of wisdom in obscure phrasing seems to have mixed results with their rather dense students.

House Slytherin attempts to legalize speederbikes for next season's Quidditch season. Understandibly, there is some minor protest over the whole front-mounted blaster issue.

Chewbacca and Hagrid bump into one another in a hallway, stare for several long moments, and discover they have relatives in common. Not surprisingly, Chewbacca and Lupin hit it off smashingly.

Snape and Anakin finally come to the understanding that they did not, indeed, intentionally swipe each other's "all black" look. They head down to Mos Eisely for drinks and synchronized brooding.

Emperor Palpatine ends an argument with Voldemort with the classic "blue-lightning-from-the-fingers" gambit, totally throwing off Voldemort, who wasn't done with his villain speech yet.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback-Imperial Star Destroyer Challenge ends very, very badly for the draconic team.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice and Star Wars-A New Hope

Mary Russell and Luke share notes on deciphering obscure observations dropped by their mentors.

Sherlock Holmes tries to convince Obi Wan that science and logic will solve all mysteries.

Mary's aunt and the Skywalkers commiserate on raising rebellious orphans.

Harry Potter and Pendragon

We want to see Harry Potter shot through a flume to a distant territory and match wits with St. Dane.

We want to see Bobby Pendragon at Hogwarts.

My SO and I have read both sets of books and can't figure out who would fare better.

And in the world of science fiction movies, how about Han Solo meeting Malcolm Reynolds from Serenity/Firefly?
