Comments: You know, a while ago, I just kept seeing Sailor Moon/Wheel of Time or Ranma/Wheel of Time crossovers, and I never quite understood it. Admittedly, I last read the Wheel of Time series five years ago, and only through the fifth book, so I’m not exactly a big fan of it. But you’d think that a series with NO SIMILARITIES TO SAILOR MOON OR RANMA WHATSOEVER wouldn’t be a practical crossover target.
But, whatever. THis rec isn’t about the inexplicability of a Sailor Moon/Wheel of Time crossover. It’s about a fic that made it work, and work well. For starters, the author takes full advantage of the fact that Ami is, quite frankly, a genius from a far more technologicly advanced world, when she starts working to defeat the Dark Lord. But that isn’t it - a lot of the fic so far is about the type of culture clash that would occur if a girl from modern Tokyo fell into a world that was mostly medieval. The sheer inability of each other to understand on occasion what Ami’s world was like - it’s a nicely done outsider POV on our world, that also serves to further illuminate their world as well. I could ramble on about this for forever, but it’s 11:15 and I have to be at work at 8:00 tomorrow, so I’ll shut up.
One chapter of a theoretically multi-chapter fic, incomplete.
