Do you ever write crossovers? Why or why not?

I've written quite a few. I like the challenge of finding the points where two or more different canons can connect. I don't think that I'm likely to crossover two particular fandoms more than once, though, because I often have just one idea for an intersection and have trouble seeing alternatives.

There used to be a community on LJ dedicated to creating crossover prompts. I don't remember what it was called, but every so often, they'd ask people to suggest several characters. Once they had a lot of lists, they'd randomly pair the characters. I seem to have misplaced the document where I saved the pairings that intrigued me (in spite of saying pairings, I believe gen was just as acceptable as anything romantic/sexual). Ah, well. It's not like I need more plot bunnies.

I have not written a crossover. I enjoy reading them, but I have never attempted to write one myself. I think I would definitely try it if I had two canons that somehow showed themselves intersecting.
