What is'mass crossover fanfiction'?

It's quite popular among certain groups of fans. Those who are into multiple fandoms often enjoy mass crossover fanfiction. It has a dedicated following on various fanfiction platforms.

One great 'Mass Effect' crossover fanfiction is 'Mass Effect and Star Wars: The Galactic Alliance'. It combines the rich lore of both universes in an exciting way, with characters from 'Mass Effect' interacting with those from 'Star Wars'. Another is 'Mass Effect meets Warhammer 40K', which creates a really unique and action - packed story as the two very different sci - fi settings collide. There's also 'Mass Effect and Halo: The United Front' that has some really interesting character dynamics between the heroes of the three franchises.

One common theme is the clash of different power systems. The spiritual powers in Bleach and the biotic and tech powers in Mass Effect are very different, and seeing how they interact is exciting.

One challenge is getting the lore right. Both Mass Effect and the other franchise (PA, whatever it is) have their own detailed backstories and rules. For example, in Mass Effect, the technology like biotics and mass relays are very specific. If you're crossing it over with another universe, you have to make sure these elements blend well. Another challenge is character consistency. The characters from Mass Effect have distinct personalities, and when you put them in a new situation in a crossover, you need to keep that essence intact.

A good crossover combines the elements of both universes well. For example, it might blend the unique species from Mass Effect like Turians and Asari with the Force - using concepts from Kotor 1. The characters should be in - character. If Shepard from Mass Effect meets Revan from Kotor 1, their personalities and motives should be consistent with their original games.

One popular 'Mass Effect Crossover Fanfiction' is the one where Shepard crosses over into the Star Wars universe. It's really interesting to see how Shepard's combat skills and leadership play out in a galaxy far, far away. Another is the crossover with the Halo universe, where the technology and species from both universes interact in unique ways.

The exploration of different power systems is also common. Supernatural has magic, psychic abilities, and the power of various artifacts. Mass Effect has biotics, advanced technology, and different military strategies. In crossovers, you might see characters from one universe trying to adapt to or use the power systems of the other. For instance, a character from Supernatural might try to figure out how biotics work, or Shepard might have to deal with a magical curse in the Supernatural way.

One should look for unique concepts. Maybe it's a crossover that no one has thought of before, like 'Mass Effect and Discworld'. How would the magic from Discworld interact with the biotics in Mass Effect? Also, the pacing of the story matters. It should keep you engaged, not be too slow or too rushed, especially when introducing the different elements of the two universes.

The exploration of different cultures is another key feature. If Mass Effect is crossed with something like Avatar, the clash and eventual understanding between the very different cultures of Pandora and the various species in Mass Effect can be a fascinating aspect of the fanfiction. It allows the reader to see how different values, social structures, and ways of life interact and adapt to one another.

A good crossover should have a well - thought - out plot. It needs to blend the two universes in a way that makes sense. For example, how the different species and technologies interact. Maybe in the fanfiction, the Mass Effect races encounter the Force from Kotor 1 in an interesting way.
