Sundays are bad for writing for me because I have family obligations, and this Sunday is no exception. We'll be visiting relatives, and I don't expect that I'll have time to write. I'm hoping that this week will be better for writing for me than last week was (last week, we had our sewer line replaced. It was noisy and stressful and expensive).

Do you ever write crossovers? Why or why not? What appeals to you (or doesn't) about crossovers?

I like writing crossovers. I enjoy the challenge of making the different canons fit together. It's surprising what can be written to make sense. I think my favorite crossover that I've written is the one that crossed The Chronicles of Narnia with The Secret Garden. That was a lot of fun to write.

I've written and posted today and I still have another couple of fics to post but they can wait a day or so because I need to finish editing them and also double check something in my research notes.

I'm not keen on crossovers, it's something that's never really grabbed my attention as a writer or a fan in any of my fandoms. I've only written one crossover of L&O with Poirot and that was for a prompt challenge over at lawandorder100 on LJ a few years ago. I liked it because I took a character from the 1930s (Poirot) and put him in early-mid 2000s NYC as a criminal, it was fun and I would still like to turn it into a one-shot at some point.
