Talk:I am writing a story merging Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Skyrim together... Any ideas or thoughts would be great

Crossovers are generally a bad idea. While it may sound awesome to have Delta Squad, Commander Shepard, and the Dragonborn kicking all sorts of ass together, the reality is that combining these things will leave you with a deeply flawed, unwieldy, and uncompelling plot that will most likely fail to hold the reader's interest all the way through. It isn't impossible to make a good crossover, after all, the Alien vs Predator franchise is very successful and has a compelling plot, but the story of the Alien franchise and the story of the Predator franchise are both very similar in timeline and overall tone, allowing them to mesh almost seamlessly, and the storyline for Alien vs Predator is also written by professional writers. Henceforth, instead of writing a crossover, I'd advise that you write a seperate story for each franchise.
