2018: Dear Crosser-Over(er)

[complete...and long!]

First of all, thank you. This exchange is easily one of the most complicated fic challenges out there, and yet continues to produce some of the niftiest and most purely amazing stories I see over the course of a fannish year.  As a practitioner of the crossover art myself, I am invariably impressed both by the quality of stories that show up here in general – and by the ones that are written for me in particular.  I have no doubt that whatever I receive when the reveal goes live will be wondrous, and for that I am profoundly and unreservedly grateful. This will be in four, count them four, parts this year, because it seemed to work well last time. So what you'll get first is the “why I’m here” spiel, followed by likes and dislikes, followed by canon-specific notes, followed by notes on my actual request-clusters.

In closing: THANK YOU for your patience and creativity.  And again,don't hesitate to ping me through the mods if you need to.  (I'll try to answer more concisely than I have here....)
