Crossover
A crossover is a fanwork in which one universe melts with another universe, or characters from one universe cross over into another universe. An example for a Supernatural/X-Files crossover would be a story in which Sam and Dean help Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigate a supernatural phenomenon. Alternatively elements from Star Wars, such as the idea of the Force, may be used in a story set in the Supernatural verse.
Crossovers occur on all fan works including Fan Art, Fan Vids and Fanfiction
Supernatural tends to be crossed with fandoms that have similar themes (Whedon-verse, True Blood), share actors (Gilmore Girls, Dark Angel), or are simply popular (Harry Potter, Twilight).
