If you're not on fanthropology, then scoot on over and join the conversation about what would happen if characters with similar names were swapped between universes: When Luke Duke trades with Luke Skywalker. When Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Jack Harkness trade - so one universe gets a bisexual roguish conman, and the other gets . . . . well the same thing?

If nothing else, you've got to see the mayhem that starts when Jack Bauer, Jack O'Neil, Jack Harkness, and Jack Sparrow go universe-hopping!

Both the Capt. Jacks can come play in my bedroomuniverse any time they want to!

There's an icon I've seen that suggests that the Captains Jack would probably play with each other, given half the chance...

I have long wanted to write two crossovers, but with actually identical names. But I am reluctant to post these there; I'd rather write them myself:

1. Q (James Bond) swaps with Q (Star Trek). "Here you go, Jimmy-boy. Press this button and the watch puts out a magnetic field that will burn out any machinery within 100 yards; press this one and you'll be teleported straight home. Oh, and James: do let me come along this time?!"

2. Hastur (Darkover) swaps with Hastur (Lovecraft). Two deities, no waiting. Um, does it matter that they're almost polar opposites in temperament and what they stand for? :-)
