Transplanted from the DW8 Forum, Where It Really Shouldn't Have Been

You know, there's a canon Harry Potter character whose name fits
the

for naming a RWBY character...
(And actually, there are three, as was pointed out to me: Lavender Brown, Albus Dumbledore and Rubeus Hagrid. But Lavender was who I was thinking of.)

No, you're right. For some reason, even when he was mentioned in the other thread, I keep forgetting him. (Joke definitely not intended.)
Edit: And this should probably be in CTSNB: Hagrid in Ruby's outfit.

Tall, dark hair, sharp-featured, intimidatingly intelligent, and a sociopath.
Are we talking Sherlock?
Or Loki?
Is there really a difference?

The Neogi "trade" fleet moved into orbit. It was a previously unknown crystal sphere, but the world beneath was a typical earth body, if with more ocean than usual. And clear signs of cities.
An inhabited world with no knowledge of spelljamming was always a good source of slaves and wealth.
. . . . . .
On the ocean below a young woman looked up through her telescope, watching the new lights in the sky and ignoring the antics of her crewmates.

And they used to think Tinker Gnomes were a menace.

This one just occurred to me this morning, so I don't have anything to flesh the concept out with yet, but...
Harry Potter/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120791/?ref_=nv_sr_1]Practical Magic. Somehow Harry ends up in New England as the adopted big brother in a family of wandless magic users that have a whole town of Muggles supporting and backing them. The movie (released 1998) isn't nailed to the calendar and could have happened at any point in the mid to late 1990s, so it wouldn't be hard to set this up as an AU.

It would be very odd, I think, for the Owens sisters, because the implication (at least the one I got), is that magic is something that only women do (at least in the sense that the Harry Potter-verse uses it; there is some indication that "men's magic" exists, but is different, or that men interact with magic in other ways). Still, Harry is a Chosen One, so it could work.

Has anyone ever proposed a Worm/Saint's Row crossover? Because Taylor as The Boss makes a terrifying amount of sense if you look at it from the right angle.

Pity she already has a last name. It makes the inevitable Worm!SR4/Matrix crossover harder to pull together.
It's just not Matrix without a 'Mr. Anderson' (or Miss, in this case) being drawled out here and there.

A crossover I've been trying to envision for a while is One Piece and Tenchi Muyo GXP. World of pirates meets interplanetary pirate bait/trap.
Unfortunately, I can never figure out how to work the relative power levels. Seina with his full battle harem, Washu-tech cruiser, and god-machine mecha should curbstomp even the more outrageous powers of One Piece. Without that backup, he seems terribly fragile.On the other hand, Seina is tough enough to have survived his years of bad luck, plus the GP nanomachine combat enhancements. Not to mention, how does anyone beat the bad-luck trump card?

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.

You know, Sherlock _is_ more or less what Loki wants out of life. In the limelight and respected for exactly what he is by the people (person) he cares about.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, done in the style of One Piece.
Picture Gendo Ikari drawn in One Piece style with the characteristically ridiculous One Piece expression of shock and surprise. "NANI?!?!?!"
Tried to google for this and I'm not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed that such an image doesn't exist.
Two great tastes that go great together!

I got linked to Senshi: The Merchandising a few weeks ago, and it looks like it might actually be a lot of fun with some good RPers. I also happened to be watching Fullmetal Alchemist at the time, so you know where this is going.
I think that the homunculi of FMA would make an excellent set of Youma Generals, and the chimeras could easily fill in the role of your standard monster-of-the-week youma. They're even villains with theme names, with Envy and Lust being much in the style of archetypal SM baddies. Stealing human energy to make a philosopher's stone is almost a Sailor Moon plot already.
The homunculi would make a very hard challenge for the sailor senshi -- perhaps on the level of the Death Busters. It could use a different dark master though; neither Dante nor Father were all that interesting to me. (Maybe even The Master, because there can never be enough SM/Who crosses, lol.)
There are SM/FMA crossovers out there, but none of them take this approach. They mostly want to ship Roy Mustang/Hino Rei, which is totally an excellent ship but not what I'm looking for.

I gotta say... Jet Li vs. Vampires, directed by Robert Rodriguez, with Jack Burton as comedy relief, would be pretty awesome.

Ah. I remember this old idea. Originally it was just the idea of Jason Bourne and Salt somehow coming across little Hanna and taking her under their respective wings... and it got a little outta hand. ^_^;
I wrote a Bourne and Buffy bail out Hanna one over on TTH.
Alternately, she could be adopted by Frank Moses and Sarah Ross (from "Red"), and be raised in a happy, loving family of some of the most dangerous killers the American government ever trained. I mean, Hanna could keep up with Marvin without slowing down AND deal with his level of crazy without blinking an eye.
What if Frank Mosses was Buffy's Godfather? He keeps an eye on here from time to time. In General he stays out of the way. When things start to happen he gets twitchy.Killing Vampires, O.K. ... blow up her high school, kids have never liked high school ... Town collapses from beneath her, time to go see that she is OK. Cue the Watchers and the Intelligence community finding about the relationship between the two, and Major Bricks get laid as both groups send out "Kill teams" of brigade size.
