This is definitely a definition thing. I have the following rules for how I categorize:
Crossover - each universe is distinct, and the borrowed character is operating under its own rules. Fusion - there is only one world, with a set of rules (or canon, so to speak) that applies to all characters no matter the originating universe.
no subject
