Taking my cue from Falconer's "If I could borrow only one thing from Star Wars..." thread (without actually threadjacking it), has anyone run across any cross-genre media? Back in the day, there was a site called www.spacebattles.com. It came about in about 1998 or so, about the time that desktop computers became powerful enough to do rendering of movies.
One of the features of the site was that it had user-generated short films, and being user generated, the lines of different sci-fi shows was blurred and breached. So you might have battles between Star Trek and Star Wars, Star Trek and Babylon 5, etc. There were some really neat battles in there...In fact, as I recall, the Alpha series, which was Trek vs B5, had a very extensive story written which explained and incorporated the story, as told by the Captain of one of the Starfleet ships. In fact, they are on the spacebattles site under fan fiction.
Since then, I have seen several cross-genre images, and whenever I do, I generally try to grab them. Here are a few thumbnail examples:
Personally, I think its pretty cool.
