  After seeing yet _another_ crossover fanfic get posted to 
RAAS that had a dubious connection (which also seems to be 
three quarters of the Ranma Fics at the moment.. :{)  I 
decided it was high time to show what crossovers we _don't_ 
want to see in the future.  Thanks to the Moonlight Ramblers, 
and the Eyrie for the suggestions, espcially PCHammer and 
Toozday for the some of the "synopses". :}

And now, from the Oakland Branch Office of Downtown Pittsbugh I 
bring You, the viewers, the Top Ten list of

           CROSSOVERS WE DON'T WANT TO SEE


Number 10:

NukuTech - As a war brigade of giant sentient rodents encroach 
toward the Earth, the world develops advanced variable-form 
Fighter/Hunter units, whose primary form-variation seems to be 
the extension of small, inconspicuous antennae ... the age of 
NukuTech has begun! 
          
Number 9:

Those Gundam Aliens - The Earth is doomed!  Schoolboy Ataru 
Rei has been chosen to decide whether the planet will spend 
the rest of its existence under Jion rule, by means of a game 
of rock-scissors-paper played with giant robots.  The fact 
that he can't seem to keep his hands off his opponent, the 
luscious Lalah Lum, certainly isn't helping the odds ... 
especially not in the eyes of Jion leader Mendou Aznable. 

Number 8: (Parental Discretion is required)

Urotsukidoji Moon - Schoolgirls all over the world are 
suffering unspeakable horrors, and the Sailor Senshi must face 
their fiercest, yuckiest opponent ever!  For love and justice, 
the Overfiend will get a spanking! 

Number 7:

Tank Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach - Rookie police 
officer Mahoney leads Leona Ozaki and the glorious Tank Police 
on the adventure of a lifetime at the World Police 
Commisioner's Convention in Florida.  The resulting property 
damage makes the residents wish for the second coming of 
Hurricane Hugo.

Number 6:

Totoro 88: The Great Furball - Satsuki and Mei's latest little 
trip goes awry as the Neko-bus passes a little too close to 
Aslan's airspace. 

Number 5:

Mobile Suit Gunbuster - In her first actual field action, 
Ensign Noriko Takaya is emotionally crushed by the death of 
her assigned partner, Amuro Rei.  Despondent in spite of the 
ensuing celebrations, she works all the harder to gain the 
respect of her commanders and peers. 

Number 4:

Project: Dirty Pair - B-ko is convinced that A-ko's new 
friends, a duet of out-of-towners named Kei and Yuri, are 
actually plotting to spirit away her beloved C-ko. Will planet 
Earth survive their tiff?  Probably not. 

Number 4: (Three, sir)

Guyver vs. Gojira vs. Totoro - Tokyo gets mashed to a fine 
paste AGAIN.

Number 2:

Irresponsible Captain Gloval - As fire consumes the bridge, 
Gloval realizes why Sammi continually admonished him not to 
smoke. 


And the #1 Fanfic Crossover we don't want to see is.....



Maison Akira - Godai's hopes of expressing his feelings for 
Kyoko are pemanently dashed as Maison Ikkoku's newest tenent, 
Tetsuo, has a Bad Day. This is a single-episode series. 



And there you are.  Flames/Comments/etc. please be sent to the
