I removed the Glee tag since this is neither really a crossover or a fusion. Glee just exists as a TV show in both our world and that of the Winchesters.

I just saw this note AFTER posting the podbook, and now it doesn't want to let me remove the glee and crossover fandom tags off of that post >.> SORRY!

[cybel]

Hey, no problem! That's what I'm here for! Only a mod can remove tags. :-)

thank you ♥
and hmm, I guess the author and I need to revise our definitions of crossover....

[cybel]

The definition I'm going by is that a crossover is as a fan fiction in which either characters from one fandom exist in (or are transported to) another fandom's world, or more commonly, characters from two or more fandoms interact.

If I am interpreting this story correctly (and I haven't had time yet to read/listen to it completely), that's not at all what is happening here. It appears to just posit that a TV show named Glee exists in the Supernatural world, the same as McDonalds, or Disneyworld, or Shark Week might exist there. Is this not the case?

[lunchee]

That's my definition too, but i don't know, i think it has to do with being able to enjoy it so thoroughly when you know of both shows. I suppose you can't call it a fusion or a crossover, but you wouldn't call it a straight fandom fic either, if that makes sense?

[cybel]

It does make sense, and it's often a difficult call to make. Occasionally when one major fandom's characters are transported into another major fandom's universe, even if no characters from the second show are involved, we've chosen to tag both fandoms here and in the archive. Even in these cases, though, there is not unanimous agreement about doing so.

Imagine, though, trying to cross tag both fandoms every time a second fandom is referenced in a story, as is the case with yours, or even every time a story involves a movie or book being recast with characters from a different show. For one thing, we'd have run out of tags here long ago. For another, a lot of fans of the second show are likely to be pissed off to find out the characters present have nothing to do with that show and belong to a different fandom entirely, one they might know nothing about or even actively dislike. Tagging with both fandoms in these cases might as easily cause a fan to avoid the podfic entirely as to download it.

As I said, complex issue.

[lunchee]

Very complex! And tagging would be a nightmare, so I don't fault you for doing only as much as you need to at all (less paperwork = GOOD). If I had to try and classify this, it would probably be primary fandom:spn, secondary fandom:glee, but I can do something like that because I'm not dealing with gigantic amounts of recordings like you guys :) I can imagine the nightmare ensuing..

Either way you'd hope people wouldn't just download things willy nilly without at least checking out the summary first, or if they do, to be pleasantly surprised at what they hear :D I must say, I've yet to hear any negative criticism on it; you'd have to be pretty offended to come back and compose bad press.

[cybel]

Indeed!
