Forgot this in the signup, but I love treats!
Castaspella (She-Ra 1985)/Adam | He-Man (MOTU Revelations)
Castaspella (She-Ra 1985) & Teela (MOTU Revelations)
Angella (She-Ra 1985) & Marlena (MOTU Revelations)
Castaspella (She-Ra 1985) & Marlena (He-Man MOTU 1983 cartoon)
Castaspella (She-Ra 1985)/Adam | He-Man (He-Man MOTU 1983 cartoon)
Castaspella (She-Ra 1985) & Galadria (Visionaries)
Adora | She-Ra (She-Ra 1985) & Allura (Voltron 1984)
So MOTU is really one of my first fandom loves, and I'd love to see these mashups. I also seriously ship Casta/Adam, so feel free to work that in on any of them.
More in letter!
So while I do see He-Man and She-Ra from the 1980s as a single fandom, many exchanges do not. I do see the MOTU Revelation/Revolution as its own thing, and like the idea of the 80s characters interacting with the MOTU Revelations versions like they’re an alternate universe.
For the 80s cartoons, they’re pretty self explanatory. Casta is one of my favorites, and I think a more Eternia focused story with her and the He-Man characters would be fun. I also think she and Galadria would be an interesting pair. Adora and Allura seem like they could have a fun adventure with each other – Eternia, Etheria or Arus.
Cherry Ames (Cherry Ames) & Peggy Carter (Captain America movies)
Cherry Ames (Cherry Ames) & Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (MASH TV)
Cherry Ames (Cherry Ames) & Captain Carter (What If Cartoon 2021)
I love Cherry Ames and think pairing her up with either of these three would be awesome. Cherry Ames, SSR Nurse? An older Cherry in Korea?
More in letter!
Pretty self-explanatory. I love wartime Cherry the most (although some of the later titles get very specific) and think she would be a great match for any of the three.
Tiffany Wield (Nonesuch-Heyer)/Richmond Darracott (Unknown Ajax - Heyer)
Tiffany Wield (Nonesuch-Heyer) & Lydia Deveril (A Civil Contract - Heyer)
Tiffany Wield (Nonesuch-Heyer) & Julia Oversley (A Civil Contract - Heyer)
Patience Chartley (Nonesuch-Heyer) & Jenny Chawleigh (A Civil Contract - Heyer)
Heyer mashup! I have thought Julia vs. Tiffany would be a delightful showdown but Lydia v. Tiffany might be EVEN better. Or she meets Richmond at a ball? Or Patience and Jenny enjoy a perfectly lovely country house party.
I love a Heyer mashup. AND the chance for Tiffany to get a set down from Lydia (or for Lydia to reflect maybe Julia isn’t quite so tiresome?) is hard to pass up. Patience and Jenny seem like they would be delightful together. Feel free include other characters from other books for filler, these 3 are just my faves.
Race Bannon (JQ Cartoon) & Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (HB ND TV)
Jonny Quest (JQ Cartoon) & Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (ND HB SM)
Jonny Quest (JQ Cartoon) & Voltron Force (Lion Voltron 1984)
Jonny Quest (JQ Cartoon) & Adora | She-Ra (She-Ra Princesses of Power Netflix)
Benton Quest (JQ Cartoon) & Fenton Hardy (Hardy Boys - FWD)
Benton Quest (JQ Cartoon) & Emmett Benton (Jem Cartoon)
Race Bannon (JQ Cartoon) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
The classic Jonny Quest is one of my faves, and I'd love to match them up with a variety of people.
More in letter!
So it just seems like Benton Quest would probably know Fenton Hardy and Carson Drew, so run with that. The kids solve a mystery together. They just run into each other and solve a mystery.
Jonny and Adora feel like they could have an interesting adventure together.
Benton Quest, working on Synergy? Feel free to drag the rest of the Jem crew in!
Quests meet Voltron? Sounds like a good time.
Spock (SNW) & Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)
Spock (SNW) & Delenn (Babylon 5)

La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW) & Michael Garibaldi (Babylon 5)
Joseph M'Benga (SNW) & Stephen Franklin (Babylon 5)
Christopher Pike (SNW) & Jeffrey Sinclair (Babylon 5)

Ro Laren (TNG) & Susan Ivanova (Babylon 5)
Beverly Crusher (TNG) & Stephen Franklin (Babylon 5)
Beverly Crusher (TNG) & Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan Saga)
Star Trek Meets Babylon 5 is basically the theme here - not concerned with the how as long as we get the what!
Bonus Beverly & Cordelia could be a lot of fun.
More in the letter!
Star Trek meets Babylon 5. I am a lifelong Star Trek fan but I really really LOVED Babylon 5. I still do. There was something about it that was smart and incredible and there will never be another like it.
But I’d love to cross it over with Star Trek. People are lined up with the characters I think would be the most fun together. I don’t care HOW they get crossed, feel free to make it as technical as you like. I have a few favorite people, obviously – I love La’an and think she and Susan would be an excellent pair. Chris Pike and Jeffrey Sinclair both know something about the weight of destiny. M’Benga and Franklin would be an excellent pair of rule breakers. For the TOS Number One, I do mean TOS/Majel Barrett only, not Rebecca Romjin’s excellent character. Pavel Chekov and either choice would be excellent. And I think Ro would probably get along with Susan a little too well.
Cordelia and Beverly – Again, I don’t care how but these two could be fun together. Also SCARY but fun.

Joe Hardy (ND HB SM)/Jessica Wakefield (SVH books)

Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (ND HB SM) & Jerrica Benton (Jem Cartoon)
Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (ND HB SM) & Jonathan Hart/Jennifer Hart (Hart to Hart TV)
Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (ND HB SM) & The Scooby Gang (Scooby Doo Where Are You 1969 cartoon
Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and a variety of friends. The mystery does not need to be robust.
More in letter!
Exactly what it sounds like.
I think either of the Joe pairings would just be fun.
Nancy goes to visit her aunt’s friend in Maine? Frank and Nancy go to Disneyland OR solve a haunted house mystery?
Jerrica Benton hires them to solve an issue, but will they discover her secret?
Nancy/Frank solve a mystery with Jonathan/Jennifer and realize that’s their future? (Bonus points for a Robert Wagner joke if you’re familiar with the 1970s TV show)
Mystery where they run into the Scooby Gang? Sounds like time for some extra good traps.

Frozen meets everyone, entertainment ensues.

Looking for light here.
Anna/Kristoff & Rapunzel/Eugene just seem like they could have a fun double date.
Anna & Elsa & Queen Arianna – If you want to play on the theory that they are related, go right ahead (for the above one as well) – if not, just a state visit.
Anna & Ben – So my fanfic writing mini-me and I were talking about the cracky extravaganza that is Descendants (shows, I have read the first 2 books) and imagining Anna’s reaction to the Villain Island thing. We agree she would not be on board. Let it show.
Elsa & Visionaries – Since these two are both ice and water types, I think it could be fun.
Elsa & Allura – Sounds like queen stuff to me,
Kristoff & Sven, Anna/Kristoff & Voltron Force – I have a image in my head of Lance laughing and repeating “the Reindeer’s name is Sven” while all Frozen characters look at him like he’s crazy. Feel free to include Romelle as well!
