crossover_chick: gif with Doc and Marty trying to get out of being written into twisted AUs (feeling sparky/creative)
By [livejournal.com profile] mayhemmanaged06: Top Five Back to the Future Crossovers You Didn't Write

1. BTTF/Terminator 2 -- Although Austin the T-1000 shows up in one of my humor stories starring J.C. Jones, I never got past the planning stages when it came to a serious crossover. I like both movies, they just -- have rather incompatible ideas of time travel. Plus I was never sure whether it should be Hill Valley or Hell Valley that was in the T-2 universe. I had a couple of ideas though: Doc having seen part of the fight at Cyberdyne, spotting a new terminator in Hill Valley with his family, and teaming up with Sarah and John eventually to kill it -- or -- Hell Valley!Doc and Sarah ending up in the same asylum and escaping to try and stop Judgement Day. The latter's idea got partially reworked into "World of Darkness" with Josephine. I actually shipped Doc/Sarah in the later story -- don't ask me why.

2. BTTF/Corpse Bride -- Yeah, I finally managed to pull this one off with "Train Troubles," but there's another one I had in mind. I'm sure you can guess what it is -- that idea where Victor really IS part of the BTTF universe. This would be a modern-day (well, sort of) Victor, who moved to California with his folks when Marty was 16 and he was 18. He ends up friends with Doc and Marty, and ends up joining them on their time travel adventures. I have no idea how I'd write it (it's hard to do the movies with a second person around!) but it occasionally pops up in my head, so. . . .

3. BTTF/American McGee's Alice -- Again, "Train Troubles" pulled this off, but how many of you remember DocWolf and MartyFox complaining back when HatterDoc first arrived about my "American McGee's Marty" bunnies? That was a replacement crossover I had in mind -- Marty was Alice, Doc the Hatter, Clara the White Rabbit -- it basically followed the replacement structure of "Marty In Wonderland." One change I made is that the robotic Hatter ISN'T a changed Doc in this version. Instead, I, uh, got him mind-raped by the Queen and driven the BAD insane while she built a robotic duplicate to take his place. He does manage to give Marty the DeadTime watch, but ends up dying because of mortal wounds inflicted by his robotic self. I also had an idea about the meta-essence the friendlies gave containing part of their personalities (like if you could get meta-essence from Rabbit's corpse, you'd see about his obsession with lateness). The whole thing is actually written up in Overly Plotted Bunnies, but I'm not so interested in writing it now.

4. BTTF/Discworld -- Something I'd love to see at some point, especially if it was done with Rincewind. Doc and Marty visiting the absolutely weird and wild world of the Disc would be awesome, I'm sure. No plans to write this one yet, though -- mostly because I'm still working my way through the books. (I'm up to "Guards, Guards!" Being introduced to the Night Watch, who look great. :D)

5. BTTF/Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog -- I actually just came up with this a few days ago while trying to think up fandoms for the meme. I dunno how it would work, but Billy meeting the Doc and Marty could be cool, right? (Maybe he'd try to steal the time machine to save Penny?)
