Brought to my notice by jeriendhal, this video is one of the most stupidly awesome things I've ever seen. Starscream (treacherous second-stringer Decepticon from Transformers) VS Rainbow Dash (of the new My Little Pony series).

This also reinforces my need to NOT see the new MLP series, or I would be in danger of becoming a Brony. I'm not stupid, I've learned from my tragic Sailor Moon experience.

As Far as 'Insane Fanfic Ideas that Worked' Goes ...

[tamahori]

The current winner for me is still "Better Living though Science and Ponies", which is, of all things, a cross-over between Portal 2 and My Little Pony (Friendship is Magic version).

Somehow the author managed to make it work, and work well. I've never watched MLP, so I can't speak for how on-character the ponies are, but the Portal 2 characters are fairly on-form (and GlaDOS is even more horrible than normal).

That managed to beat out the D&D Crossover with Halo (really, Halo?) for pure "Wait, somebody tried to mix those two in a fanfic, and made it work?" factor.

Just goes to show I suppose, there is no concept so inane, a good writer can't make something awesome out of it.

I thought "Little Gundam on the Prairie" was pretty nuts, too, but I showed it could work.

And "Terminators of Endearment, OR Pride and Extreme Prejudice" I thought was well-done with Brenda's help...

As I say, a good writer can make any idea work.

And Terminators of Endearment was wonderful, I don't expect you'll ever write more, but if you do, I'll read it. :)
