TOP 10 PLAY/MUSICAL CROSSOVERS ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (2009-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Plays Crossovers Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
In March 27 2009, FFN launched support for crossover fanfiction. Before this date, authors either posted their crossovers in just one category and noted that it was a crossover in its summary, or posted them in one of the generic crossover categories in the Misc. section (such as X-overs, or Cartoons X-overs). There wasn’t a filter to screen all crossovers of specific fandoms back then.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
Interestingly enough, the crossover sections don’t seem to be suffering from a total fanfiction discrepancy, unlike the sections for non-crossover fanfiction.
Please refer to this post for more fanfiction bar chart races.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

One of my friends has been blessing me with clips of Saw the Musical recently and I can’t help but keep hearing the similarities between these two songs
(Hoping someone here will understand my vision 💔)

Feeling really nostalgic about July 17-18, 2008, the last time I believed in Joss Whedon
It was just cool, you know? Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog dropped in three separate pieces over the course of the week. We'd get 15 minutes of story, and then two days to froth over the whys and wherefores in Livejournal comments before the next piece came out. And those days were so good.
Buffy fans are so fucking smart, y'all. They could combine academic rigor with unselfconscious fangirl squee. Squee was a hermeneutical method, a mode of interrogating the text--one we often dismiss and diminish, because if there's anything grosser than teenage girls getting goopy over a vampire they like, it's 30 or 50 or 70-year-old women getting goopy over a vampire they like. But it's similar to what I've seen called a "redemptive reading". You approach a piece of media specifically looking for its best parts, the pieces you love the best, and you allow yourself to fully embody the joy of liking something and caroling your joy to other people who like it too. In a perpetually burned-out time, squee can be like a desert oasis.
So the people who liked Buffy and Angel and Firefly watched Doctor Horrible in a manner both squeeful and intersectionally feminist, and saw all the amazing interesting things it was doing, showing how insecure geek masculinity fundamentally self-sabotages the main character, Billy, because the relationship he wants has been there in reach for months, and it's his own perception that he needs to be an alpha male warrior that has kept him from it. It interrogated the entire genre of costumed heroes, with two men thumping their chests and comparing their dick sizes, and none of them doing anything as direct and helpful for their society as Penny, the woman who stands on sidewalks collecting signatures to help a homeless shelter.
Part II came out on July 17, and the series would end with Part III on July 19. So on July 18, I spent most of the day reading Livejournal comments about it. There were all these theories: Maybe Penny was secretly Bad Horse, the archvillain whose approval Billy has craved since the beginning. Maybe she will collapse the love triangle with Billy's rival, Captain Hammer, by acting on her clearly-demonstrated discomfort and dumping him. Maybe Billy will learn that relationships are based on intimacy, not being The Best. Maybe Penny will become a superhero and replace Captain Hammer as Billy's nemesis. Maybe Billy will succeed and rule the world and give Penny Australia.
And then... none of those things happened. Joss Whedon ended the series in a way less progressive, less imaginative, less cool, than even the most half-baked fan theory out there. The story opened up possibilities to break out of an old, tired, toxic set of stories around men and women and sex and heroics, and then hid under a rock rather than change a single one of them.
July 19 was the day I concluded that while Joss Whedon might have his own baggage to work through about toxic masculinity, and artists have the right to make work meaningful to them, he wasn't making art that was meaningful to me. And I basically stopped expecting anything of him.
And then, for years, Buffy fans, educated and squeeful feminists and sharp pop culture critics, got told they were crazy histrionic SJWs for thinking Whedon didn't shit solid gold. For years. (I recently saw a video essay that included the line, "If you have the phrase 'mewling quim' branded onto your memory, you probably need some Metamucil" and, ouch, rude.)
There was so much excitement! A lot of us actually believed in the guy (although even then, there was enough evidence for many people to suspect what we now know to be 100% true about him.)
We wanted it to be good. We wanted to enjoy it.
I miss that feeling.

I am not very productive, this days. But! I am back on my tarot project! I mean, six cards left before I finish the Major Arcana. Well... five, since this one is done!
So, without further ado, here is The Chariot, with yet another character from another fandom... Dr. Horrible.
Tumblr media
Yes, I'm still here, still in that fandom, and I think I'll never leave.
So... why Billy. Well, the Chariot is an interesting card, as it is, upright, a card of willpower and determination. It's all about making decisions in alignement of your values, taking action on those decisions, to reach success. Be confident in your capacity, it says! A bit like, well, when you want to change the world and decide to overthrown society to recreate it. Like the Doctor, taking a weopon to the shelter in an attempt to follow his values by entering the E.L.E. It's a Brand New Day, right ? The card tells you that this is not a time to be passive : he decided not to be, and, well, he did reach his goal.
But.
The reversed Chariot card, warns you to (forgive my language) back the fuck up in whatever you are doing. You are driving right toward a brick wall, trying to convince yourself that the path you choose is the right one for you when really, you ought to change direction. Perhaps you're not meant to join the E.L.E, after all. Did you think of the price you'll pay? Don't you think you should spend time with someone else? Perhaps you reached what you were aiming for. But perhaps, by doing that, you missed what (or perhaps who) would have actually been good for you. The card tells you to receonsider, before going after that van because a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do ; perhaps you ought to should have gone back to her, and talk.
Well. Everything you ever, right?
Tumblr media
As for the composition... The original card figures a brave warrior standing proudly on the chariot, just like Dr. Horrible is doing here, in his... victorious... labcoat. The crown of victory are now the goggles ; and, as in the original card, he is not actually driving the chariot. He does not hold the reins : it's too late for that, mah dude.
The two black and white sphinxes are now the two opposites persona of the Doctor. There is Billy, in black, looking in one direction, perhaps with some sort of hope ; and there is the Doctor, in white, contemplating the consequence of the one he followed.
And well. That's about it, I guess!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that's the card! Next one will be the card of Justice, with, erh, another fandom. Again. I swear it's not on purpose. I'm just not joking when I say I'm drawing for multifandoms.

The most niche crossover I've ever made; I wanted to honor some fictional ginger ladies that I love (click for better quality!)
Tumblr media
From left to right — Penny (Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog), Barbara (DC comics), Judith (Le Visiteur du Futur)
Tumblr media
From left to right — Penny, Judith, Emeraldas (Leijiverse), Barbara
Tumblr media
From left to right — Katerose (Legend of the Galactic Heroes), Barbara, Judith, Sylvia (La Tour de Babel), Emeraldas, Penny
You know that moment when you start something that slowly but surely begins slipping out of your control? Well, that's me with this crossover. Props to you if you do know all (or at least most) of the ladies featured there btw (and actually, please DM me if you know all the ladies featured there, I'd love to talk to you)

So I did a redraw of this one. Or, I finished it. Depends on how you're looking at it- but, hey, anything for that musical. I just deeply love it. And my style evolved a bit since last year!
First drawing, on the left, was done a year ago, left unshaded and therfore quite unfinished. Second one was just finished today!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yes it is not a funny drawing. Should have done a frozen-yogurt-themed one. But I can't deny I love the angst- always such a good way to leave permanent impact on one's memories of the show.
Anyway, I love Dr. Horrible, it lives rent-free in my mind since 2015.
