I'm sorry but that has been my experience. I've seen too many "Gandalf fights... X" that sounds like someone has been playing "Magic the Gathering" far too intently.
One big exception that I once found was a Dune/Star Trek TNG cross over that was incredibly well done. The person writing felt like they were channeling Frank Herbert the tone of the story was so very much like the original Dune series. He should have given Kevin J. Anderson lessons.

Ah, well, crossovers rarely work. You should try something set in Chicago at the same time as the Dresden Files, but not featuring characters from the series. That way you get Dresden-style stories without inaccurate voices or cannon-smashing interactions.

That's a good thought and in fairness. The Story I mention I found on an ancient website back when I was in college in 1993.

So, I know that this is far from being a solid WOJ to stand upon, but I know that Jim’s stated several times that he’s got a specific order of publication: first Peace Talks is going to be done, to make the fans happy; then Brief Cases to be done, to make the publishers happy; and then the next Cinder Spires; to make him happy. I’m paraphrasing slightly.
… does this mean that we might be closer to getting a date for Peace Talks, and that it might be before Summer 2018? Because that would be awesome.

Leave it be, sir, that way leads to madness.
