In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Marcus Rowland is the king, no make that god, of crossovers. I mean it. Who else could write three as varying fandoms as Buffy, Galaxy Quest, and the Avengers in one 100 word drabble? And make it work? Honestly. That story is a thing of beauty.

Who else would even think to cross Wallace & Gromit with Buffy? Okay, Beer Good Foamy - whom I adore for crossing Buffy with Welcome to Night Vale - may have had that thought, but I'm pretty sure nobody else has.

I'm not even going to try to list all of the fandoms in Who Are You Gonna Call? Suffice it to say that Coulson, even as a ghost, is on the side of good.

Okay, now I'm just browsing but ... Oh. My. Goddess. He wrote a Lensman story. Not only that, he crossed the Lensman series with Battlestar Galactica. If I weren't too old, I'd be offering to bear his children for this alone.

This is truly what makes Fandom Snowflake so marvelous: the chance to share things we love with the rest of the world.

I'm generally not a crossover gal, although there are always exceptions). I thought the Nightvale/Buffy piece was really clever.

I've never gotten heavily into crossovers before but these do tickle me pink.

And I've been praising the Nightvale/Buffy piece to the skies since I read it. ;-)

Totally agree about Marcus Rowland's awesomeness. He has inventive ways in which the crossover characters and universes interact, and the plots are just a delight.

His work led me to check out Twisting the Hellmouth every so often and they do seem to have a really active community there. The main thing that keeps it from being a huge time suck for me is my unfamiliarity with the cross-over material. There are just tons of TV shows I've never watched, and then there are the crossovers with games, which I'm completely and utterly clueless about. But occasionally I'll find an interesting story that I can actually understand. :)

Marcus Rowland. Yeah. Awesome stories.

I haven't been to Twisting the Hellmouth in a while. I don't watch a lot of tv and, yeah, crossovers with fandoms I don't know are not as interesting to me.
