No, no, no, forget about doing crossovers based on compatible 
characters or similar storylines!  The *real* trick is putting 
together two ideas that have nothing to do with each other.  
For example:

Tenchi Moon!

I like both 'crossovers' and 'fusion-crossovers'. The best example of
this kind of crossover (IMO) is Blade and Epsilon's excellent 
Ranma-Starwars cross.

It casts Ranma as Luke Skywalker, Ryouga as Han Solo, Akane as 
Princess Leia, and oddly enough Nabiki as Jabba the Hutt. It's
odd, but it really does work. It's in the archive, so check it
out.
