Subject:      Possible Crossovers

I've been working on putting together my first piece of fanfic for the list
here, and I'm coming close to completing it. However, after seeing some of
the interesting crossover stories that occasionally crop up on the list, I
thought I'd send some of the possible plot-lines and cross-overs that I came
up with, but ultimately rejected.


1. Highlander/Mork & Mindy

After arriving to Earth from another planet (as we all know that Immortals
are really space aliens), Mork gets swept up in the game.
     "Mork calling Dawson, come in Dawson..."
     Unfortunately for this alien, he runs afoul of Duncan MacLeod.
     "There can be only one... nano, nano."
     CLANG! CLANG! SLASH! STAB!
     "Oh... shazbot..."
     QUICKENING.


2. Highlander/Smurfs.

     The battle for supremacy had gone on long enough, as the evil Immortal
Gargamel continued to search for Papa Smurf's head.
     But Papa Smurf was receiving much needed training.
     "That sensation you're feeling, Papa Smurf, is the power of the
Smurfing."
     Then the showdown in the dark tower.
     "Your cat Azrael can't help you now, Gargamel. There can be only one!"
     "Laa laa la la la la, Laa la la la la..." Slice.


3. Highlander/Melrose Place.

     Duncan arrives in LA to escape the peaceful and puritanical lifestyles
of the Seacouver area, and moves into Melrose Place, where he quickly cleans
up all those messy love triangles.


4. Highlander/Scooby-Doo.

     After hanging in back of the Mystery Machine with Scooby and Shaggy,
chowing on all those Scooby Snacks, now Duncan has a legitimate reason for
having all those flashbacks.


5. Highlander/MacGuyver.

    In the middle of battling it out with some Immortal named K-something,
Duncan loses his sword.
     Is this the end?
     No! He quickly throws something together out of duct tape, toothpicks
and laundry detergent, and he's back at it.


6. Duncan's Angels.

     Three beautiful women in spandex outfits work for a mysterious director.
It would work out great except that no one ever gets to see anything other
than Duncan's hands.


7. Highlander/Barney

     "Today, boys and girls, we're going to meet our special friend visiting
all the way from Scotland..."

     The last dinosaur becomes extinct.


8. The Duncans of Hazzard.
     "Coo, coo, coo, I'm Roscoe P. Coltrain, and this here's my dog, Flash."
     "Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod."
     As the battle ensues, them good ole country boys turn to a large man in
overalls.
     "What wuz that he said, Uncle Jesse? There can be only one?"
     "Yup," says Jesse around the reed he's sucking.
     "Hoo boy, good thing, that. Cuz we can't count higher than that!"
     "Yee-haw!"


9. Highlander/Love Connection.

     "And then what happened?" the host asked.
     "Well, Chuck. Up 'til now everything had gone great. But we get in to my
apartment, and he reaches into his coat and whips out this huge... sword."
     Gasps from the audience.
     "Duncan, do you have anything to say about that?" Chuck Woolery asks.
     "It wasn't like that..." he starts, but is interrupted.
     "He starts talking about getting a buzz, only having one, and wanting a
quickie right there!"


10. Highlander/Seasme Street

     Duncan takes the fledgling Immortal Big Bird (can you see this one
coming?)... under his wing. But it doesn't last long, for Bird's neck just
proves too tempting a target.


11. Highlander/Love-Boat.

     "Dammit, out of my, Gopher. Now, Capt. Stubbing, there can be only one."


12. Highlander/Knightrider.

     Using startling new technology, Duncan's new Katana has a glowing red
light that travels up and down its length, uttering wisecracks to the
Immortal at every turn.


13. Highlander/Buck Rodgers.

     "There can be only one... bidi bidi bidi."
                              -Twiki.


14. Highlander/CHIPS.

     "Ponch, shouldn't we respond to that 3-11 in progress?"
     The man on the other motorcycle merely smiles.
     "Naw, partner MacLeod. I've got a date. What could be more important
than that?"


15. Highlander/Renegade.

     Adrian Paul staggers off the set after ten minutes.
     "Agh... bad acting..." he mutters, barely comprehensible, clutching his
temples with both hands. "Got... to get... away..."
