Cross-overs
February 13th, 2009 | 
Author: On my commute today, I have been mostly listening to Sherlock Holmes v Dracula. This is cool and I am secretly delighted every time I hear Holmes say the name "Mina".
What do you think of literary mashups, crossovers, pastiche-hybrids and the like? Do you find the idea excruciating (cross puns lol) or do you enjoy them in a spirit of absurdity?
Normally I'm the former, on this occasion the latter, because it's well written and fun.
Which characters do you think should never ever meet — not because their settings or genres are incompatible, but because it would be a really bad idea to get them in the same location?
Discuss.
