What irks me a little, just me myself privately, is that this rule even includes crossovers with books long since in the public domain — so no crossovers with The Odyssey, The Canterbury Tales, Hamlet, The Three Musketeers, Pride and Prejudice or Sherlock Holmes, or any movie or TV series based on them. (Lisa McD herself posted a crossover with A Christmas Carol before the rule; today, it would be forbidden. She uses this example to illustrate the rule.)
As I remember it, the rule was created just as I'd mapped out a YB/FK crossover, which I then unhappily dropped. In those days there was really no place besides FKFic-L to share an FK story (and no place at all to share YB). I suppose that I could pick it up again at this end of history...
