Sometimes, snark is a dangerous thing.

[profile] yonmei linked me to The Big List of Fanfic Pet Peeves, some of which I share, some of which I disagree with. But, I was reading along, nodding or "meh"ing depending on my agreement levels, and I hit this (under "Expository Lumps"):

Beware: some of the worst offenders are x-overs, have you noticed? The characters get together, and as Katrina says, all of a sudden it's a convention of Norse warriors, all reciting their mighty deeds.

DUDES, I TOTALLY WANT THAT!

Seriously, give me Jean-Luc Picard telling Cid Highwind about The Picard Maneuver, and Cid embellishing detailing his own exploits. Angelo and Sephiroth, comparing bad hair days! Scotty and Rodney McKay, one upping each other with "how I saved the day" stories. Dillon and Wolverine having a brood-off!

Come on, guys, comment fic me! :D
