Have you recommended Daemonology? Or is that a crossover? Are fusions crossovers, AUs, or both?
Yup! (http://thefourthvine.livejournal.com/46015.html) I love that story with an unholy glee, and I would explicate at length, except for I think I got about as coherent as I can about that story in the rec. (Hence the link.) And my own reasoning is - well, I count it as a crossover, but I classify crossovers as a type of AU, so for me, if it's a crossover, it is by definition an AU. All crossovers are AUs, although not all AUs are crossovers.
Oh, god, I'm not making any sense at all. I need sleep *whimpers*
On the matter of AUs in other fandoms, have you ever recommended astolat's All The Wonder?
Yup! (http://thefourthvine.livejournal.com/6942.html) (And, OMG, it's recommendations post number 23. Wow, that was a long time ago, in fannish terms - thank you for inspiring me to look back through my tags.)
Speaking of incredible Master & Commander AUs written by Shalott (how was that for a lead in?), you've read Duende (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/33/duende.html), right? I didn't think I could love another M&C AU as much as I love All the Wonder, but Duende is definitely competing fiercely for the honor. I would gladly see a twenty-novel series for either AU. Or, ideally, both.
Also, there need to be more due South/SGA crossovers. I can't even find the one that I read before, now, which is tragic.
I completely agree. I've read a few, but the one that springs immediately to mind is, unusually for me, actually art (http://brevisse.livejournal.com/84967.html). The drawing with Fraser's personal item never fails to cheer me up. I look at it often.
Re: right, let's try it with correct html this time.
