What is'mass crossover fanfiction'?

It's quite popular among certain groups of fans. Those who are into multiple fandoms often enjoy mass crossover fanfiction. It has a dedicated following on various fanfiction platforms.

One great 'Mass Effect' crossover fanfiction is 'Mass Effect and Star Wars: The Galactic Alliance'. It combines the rich lore of both universes in an exciting way, with characters from 'Mass Effect' interacting with those from 'Star Wars'. Another is 'Mass Effect meets Warhammer 40K', which creates a really unique and action - packed story as the two very different sci - fi settings collide. There's also 'Mass Effect and Halo: The United Front' that has some really interesting character dynamics between the heroes of the three franchises.

One common theme is the clash of different cultures. The very different races in Warhammer and Mass Effect coming together often leads to interesting cultural exchanges and conflicts.

Another theme is technological exchange. The advanced technologies in both universes are often explored in these fanfictions. For instance, the biotics in Mass Effect and the psionic powers in Starcraft could be combined or compared. Sometimes, the fanfictions explore how sharing technology could change the balance of power in both galaxies. It can lead to really exciting plot developments as characters try to figure out how to use newfound tech or prevent others from getting their hands on it.

A great Mass Effect Shepard crossover fanfiction often has a well - written Shepard. The character should stay true to their in - game personality while also adapting to the new crossover situation. For example, if it's a crossover with Star Wars, Shepard's leadership skills should be shown in a way that makes sense in the Star Wars universe. Good world - building is also key. If it's a crossover with a different sci - fi or fantasy world, the author needs to blend the two worlds seamlessly.

The unique blend of universes. When Mass Effect 3 is crossed with another fandom, like Star Wars for example, it creates really interesting scenarios. You can have Shepard and the crew interacting with Jedi or Sith, which is just super cool.

One common theme is the clash of different power systems. The spiritual powers in Bleach and the biotic and tech powers in Mass Effect are very different, and seeing how they interact is exciting.

One challenge is getting the lore right. Both Mass Effect and the other franchise (PA, whatever it is) have their own detailed backstories and rules. For example, in Mass Effect, the technology like biotics and mass relays are very specific. If you're crossing it over with another universe, you have to make sure these elements blend well. Another challenge is character consistency. The characters from Mass Effect have distinct personalities, and when you put them in a new situation in a crossover, you need to keep that essence intact.

A good crossover should have a well - thought - out plot. It needs to blend the two universes in a way that makes sense. For example, how the different species and technologies interact. Maybe in the fanfiction, the Mass Effect races encounter the Force from Kotor 1 in an interesting way.

Well, it could be about Ben using his alien forms to fight alongside the Mass Effect characters against a common enemy like the Reapers. Maybe his Four Arms form could be used for brute strength in hand - to - hand combat with the husks.
