Crossovers are a genre of media in which two fictional universe are joined in order to combine settings, plots, and characters. Professionals use this medium to great success in game series such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Kingdom Hearts. Unfortunately, some amateurs who don't have any business writing stories often use crossovers in fanfiction, hentai, and artwork.
A common element in crossovers is pairings. For some reason, characters from two or more different series are made into rivals. For other reasons, characters from multiple series are made into lovers.
As with most fanfics, crossover exist as the result of fanfic writers attempting to live out their fantasies through fiction. These writers want to experience a world where fictional universes collide, and they want to take credit for putting those fantasies on paper.
A very rare occasion, which is thankfully restricted mostly to fanfiction, has emerged, known as the Crossover Crisis. This is when a crossover is done incorrectly, and actually fucks-up the canon, and instead of being an amusing read, it just turns into an out-of-place disaster that absolutely ruins the rest of what is otherwise a good (or at least decent) fanfiction. One of the most famous examples is My Immortal, which has two examples of this, making an already absolutely shite fanfiction an atrocious abomination if one observes it. And unfortunately, it is slowly catching one.

- Chris-Chan – Mostly Sonic and Pokemon
