Description:

I'm pretty sure everyone in this group is obsessed with more than one geeky thing, so in this swap we'll get to mix them up a bit!

This is a crossover swap based on a combination of your partner's favourite geeky themes. When you sign up, post a comment listing 5-10 ideas. These can be universes, tv shows, books, styles/genres etc. Remember the interpretation of geeky is pretty free.

Note: You may get a partner who has listed all things you don't know/watch/read. You can either contact your partner or use google to get some info.

Once partners are assigned, pick two or more of their themes and work them together somehow. I'm leaving this very open in terms of what you do with those themes but whatever it is please spend at least two hours on it. (So if you can make an atc in 45 min, make several.) Get creative and feel free to post more ideas below to inspire your fellow swappers! Here are some example to get you started:

  • ATC(s) featuring two themes blended together
  • Draw something in another style (ie anime starwars, graphic novel lord of the rings)
  • Movie poster for two worlds colliding
  • Write a short piece of crossover fanfiction
  • Edit clips together into a crossover movie trailer (and burn dvd OR send a card with a description of where they can find it on youtube > must write that it is for this swap in the description)
  • A letter from a character to one in another world

Summary: Spend 2+ hours making something AWESOME related 2+ of your partners themes. And have fun!

For some fun crossover inspiration, here's a video. I can't load videos at the moment, so I'm hoping this is the right one...

Word of warning to younger participants, there is a teensy instance of adult language involved.

Great link! Here are a few others that are the kind of thing you could probably make for this swap:

Also, I've edited the description for an easier way to send vids if you're interested.
