Rule number one of writing crossovers:

Dear Fanfic writers:

When writing a crossover fic, you must include actual characters from each of the shows you are writing about.

Thank you,

Me

I feel your pain. I often wish to say this about fic in a single universe....

It was billed as a House/24 crossover, but it didn't have any canon characters in it. No House, no Jack, not even any of the supporting cast.

A Mary Sue/Marty Sue crossover, one from each universe. I didn't even see any mention of the canon characters/places in the parts I read.

It made my head hurt.

Aha! So you prefer fanfic like majikspides and Roadkill and Tarantulla used to (still do?) write! Got it!!

Hey, wish Myr a belated happy Birthday from me.

If I email, will you reply sometime this century?
