Mixing Worlds

Remember how last week I read Justine Larbalestier's How to Ditch Your Fairy? Well, yesterday I read another faerie book. This time it was Melissa Marr's Fragile Eternity, the sequel to the much loved (by me) Wicked Lovely. And now I can't stop trying to combine the two worlds.

Can you imagine what would happen if Marr's faeries found themselves attached to humans in Larbalestier's New Avalon? Charlie thought the All-The-Boys-Like-You Fairy was bad, but imagine the horror of having Niall as your own personal fairy. You would have to beat off both boys and girls with the proverbial stick.* I suppose Keenan or Donita would be helpful to have around when it came to warming things up or cooling them off, but it would suck if you were one of those weird luge/bobsled kids and had a Summer Faerie hanging around all the time. And imagine the complete airhead you would turn into if your aura was constantly clouded by a Summer Girl.

Sounds horrific, right? But interesting. I can't help but thinking what stories we would have if fictional YA worlds started colliding. What if Miles Halter and 13 Little Blue Envelopes' Ginny were to start hanging out? What would Alice Cullen think of Zoey Redbird?** How would Blair Waldorf adjust to life at Frankie Landau-Banks' boarding school?

So, YA writers, are you out there? Are you listening? We want cross-over novels! Please?

*We won't even begin to discuss how much you would enjoy beating someone with a stick if you had Naill as your own person faerie.

**I'm thinking that Zoey and Alice would be big shopping buddies.
