Er, yeah. I've seen the various chapter posts coming up for that fic and had a lot of the same reservations as you express here. Though for me the killer is the John/Sherlock, but whatever...
Though, I have more qualms about historical periods that I know a fair bit about than those I don't (such as Ireland in the 1920s). I mean, if the author screws up the history part, I'm not going to know about it, am I?
And OMG TJinC crossovers.
For some reason, the first thing that comes to mind is sports RPF crossovers. Merrick / Sepp Blatter, anyone?
Susan Layton stars in a Chalet school crossover. [Actually, I think Susan's tragedy is that she wants the world to be like Chalet school.]
Daphne and Aunt Shalini hit the road, Thelma and Louise-style.
