I thought the Calvin & Hobbes story was fantastic up until the crossover, which to me detracted from the wonderful story of how Calvin grew up without losing Hobbes
Yeah, I was disappointed in that. I'm not an SGA fan, which could be why that rang false for me, but I really enjoyed that story, and to have it suddenly turn into a crossover at the end ...it didn't work for me the way perhaps the author had hoped. Again, probably because I'm *not* a fan of SGA.
I love crossovers, but with something like Yuletide, I wonder if they're not cheating a bit - a safety net for people to fall back on when they're a little unsure of the crazy new fandom they've agreed to write in. Or perhaps a way of ensuring people who only read in one fandom will read a story in another...
