Crossover Ideas -- for anyone who may want them
===============================================

1.  Sailor Moon is visiting the ruins of the Silver Millennium palace on
the moon, for some reason, and discovers a sealed vault.  When she opens
it she inadvertently releases ... the dreaded space pirate Ryoko!





2.  Has anyone ever considered a crossover with Stephen Donaldson's
"Thomas Covenant" books?  I see two promising possibilities:

(a) "Ranma" crossover.
----------------------
Either:

(i) Retell the story using Ranma characters.  Some obvious
possibilities for character substitution:
    Thomas Covenant = Ranma
    Lena            = Kasumi
    Elena           = Akane
    Trell           = Soun
    Foamfollower    = Ryoga
    Mhoram          = Nodoka    (a bit of a switch, but could work)
    Lord Foul       = Happosai  (actually this could make Foul fouler!)

(ii) Retell the story, but just substitute Ranma for Covenant.  "The
Chronicles of Ranma Saotome the Unbeliever."  This would allow the story
to be closer to the original ("Be true" -- er, sorry) while still
allowing plenty of scope for insanity.  ("They're attacking the
Celebration of Spring! MOKO TAKABISHA!")  Ranma's title of "Unbeliever"
might stem from his continual muttering of "Oh, man, I don't BELIEVE
this!"

(iii) Leave all the original characters intact, but dump the Ranma cast
into the action as well.  Probably the simplest alternative, and possibly
the funniest as well.  Depends on how you want to approach it.  (A spooky
thought: Happosai takes on one of the Giant-Ravers and gets hold of its
fragment of the Illearth Stone.)

(b) "Sailor Moon" crossover
---------------------------
This may seem pretty far-fetched, but think about the glorious
possibilities!  The Sailor Senshi issuing their trademark speeches to
the Council of Lords!  The Ginzuishou vs. the Illearth Stone!  (Augh!)
Foamfollower reminds Makoto of her old boyfriend!  "It's a Raver! MARS
FLAME SNIPER!"  Thomas Covenant finds something to REALLY not believe
in!

Sailor Pluto can shuffle the characters around between the three time
periods of the trilogy, as required. Sailor Mercury might use her
computer to plot the location of the rest of Lord Kevin's Wards.  And
what will it do to Usagi when the moon turns green?
