God you are so right about the rumbly. I love the raspy, rumbly, grumble and hum. Make you go a little hazy and smile kinda goofy. They both got it.

I'm glad you liked the prompt. I had fun writing 'em and thinking them up. I get all kinds ideas that never get written or passed a few sentences and i refuse to call them plot-bunnies. I bet it was fun working GhostSickness!Kirk, he's such a 'fearless' character it's always fun to see them yellow.

Let me know what you think when you get to SotE. It's got demons and angels and gore and ice. it's a little more mopey than I normally write and, oddly, has nary a single horse in it. (I'm an equestrian and ALL my fic have horses in 'em).

That's why I like SPN, it's down to earth and realistic and their world is literally our world. They reference up to date politics and popular culture and everything. It's adaptable and the nature of the characters and their purpose can blend easily... of course that leads to some pretty sloppily made crossovers, present company excluded, there have been some excellent crosses in this exchange... including MINE! It's mine!

I'm so glad we're all Lore Junkies 'round here. We should start a club.

If Heroes amuses, it amuses, and if it doesn't, it doesn't! Heroes is just my main fandom, and you want everyone to like what you like, you know? ;-)

Anywho, I think the reason Supernatural crosses so easily is that it's fairly self-contained. Even when Sam and Dean are trying to avert the Apocalypse, it's all done behind the scenes and under the radar, whereas other fandoms are mucking about in high-level politics (Heroes) or the whole premise of the whole is in an entirely different place (Lost). But you can easily have Sam and Dean cross paths with another fandom because you don't have to bend Supernatural canon to have some guest characters be the Freak of the Week. Supernatural is very accomodating that way!

I was talking to a buddy of mine, trying to explain SPn and I told her just this: their world is our world. Everything that happens for us is happening for them, but not always the other way around. The reality of it is brilliant and like you said makes for easy crossovers. I think it's probably one of the most used fandoms for x-overs on ff.net because of the reasons you said, just damn easy fo it to slide in, especially with stuff like crime dramas and monster/sci-fi shows.
