I got the urge to look up the spoof story we were working on here for a while, and I thought I remembered BfloGal posting it on Fanfiction.net. I normally don't want anything to do with fanfiction.net, so it kind of explains why I thought it would be easier to find it there than it would be to find it here. I was very, very wrong because there are a lot more Monk stories there that I figured on finding. But during my search I came across this one crossover story, and although I haven't read it yet, the premise is made of awesome. In fact, I may not ever read it, because as awesome as the premise is, somehow I think that any story posted to ff.net can't possibly measure up to the awesomeness and I will just be disappointed.

It's a Monk/Psych/Death Note crossover. I only know what Death Note is because of my daughter, so for anyone else who doesn't know, Death Note is about this notebook (the Death Note) that belongs to a shinigami (a Japanese death god) named Ryuk, and the way it works is that the shinigami (or a human who might somehow come into possesion of the Death Note) writes a person's name in the notebook while thinking of that person's face, and the person dies. If they write down a time and way that the person dies, then that person will die exactly as described in the Death Note. If they don't specify a particular time or way for them to die within 40 seconds of writing their name, the person dies after the 40 seconds is up from a heart attack.

In the Death Note series (it's a manga series) Ryuk is bored one day, so he drops the Death Note on the street with instructions in it for it's use, and it's found by the very intelligent teenage some of the police chief named Light Yagami, who starts writing down the names of criminals and says he does it to make the world a better place, because they need justice. However, the police are unhappy about it (rightly so), even if it's only criminals dying and they launch an investigation with the intent of catching the killer (dubbed 'Kira' but the media), and Light
s dad is in charge of the case. They also bring in L, who is actually like Monk in some ways- brilliant, a little nuts, tends to put me off balance, ect... but he also is practically a sugar addict whose a little bit of a slob.

Anyway, that's the basics.

When I told my daughter about the story, she started laughing and said, "Shawn would say, 'I'm getting something... the killer, Kira... Is Zac Effron!" which would be totally hilarious, and here's why-


Then we started joking about how everyone else would react, like Lassiter would say, "Okay, where are my handcuffs? Guess what, Pretty Boy- Where you're going, they aren't really big fans of High School Music--Ack!" :Drops dead:

And Gus would say, "Shawn! Stop calling him Zac Effron! Did you not just see Lassiter drop dead of a heart attack?"

SHAWN: Please, tell me you don't really believe this stuff! Seriously, someone writes your name in a notebook while thinking of your face and you die?

(Meanwhile Light is scribbling furiously and muttering to himself)
LIGHT: Lavender...Gooms. (Looks up and waits)... Damn!

SHAWN: It's like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

GUS eyes Light nervously.

GUS: Shawn...

LIGHT: ... Silly...pants... Jackson... Damn!

STOTTELMEYER: Calm down, it is really stupid.

MONK: Absolutely, ! No one can kill just by writing in a notebook!! It's preposterous!

LIGHT scowls at Stottelmeyer, but is still writing and muttering: Skoony... Pardon me, is that 'Y-O-U-T-U-R-N' or
'U-T-U-R-N'?

SHAWN: 'U-T-U-R-N'. But it's totally not gonna work.

LIGHT: Single...ton.... Damn again!

GUS: Why are you trying to kill me?! I'm not even the one who called you stupid?

LIGHT doesn't answer, but is writing again.

LIGHT: Magic...Head.

GUS: Would someone take that notebook away from him?!

SHAWN: Don't worry about it, he's just drawing little stick figures... Really unfortunate,kind of mutant stick figures...

GUS: Those are Kanji, Shawn! That's the way Japanese people write!

SHAWN: Really? That's just weird.

LIGHT: Damn! Why aren't you dead?!

GUS:... I am so glad you never tell people my real name!

RANDY, who has been looking at his own notebook curiously, waffling over whether to try it for himself, suddenly looks up at LIGHT

RANDY: For the record, my name isn't really Randy Disher. It's actually Lt. Leland Stottelmeyer. Three 't's if you count the one in 'Lieutenant'...

STOTTELEMEYER Glares at RANDY

RANDY: What? I said Lieutenant, not Captain.

MARCI pops out of nowhere and shouts: Hi! My name is Natalie Teeger, and I think you have stupid, emo boy hair!! Ha-ha! That's spelled 'N-A-T-A-L-I-E T-E-E-G-E-R'. And you eat boogers. And your handwriting is terrible!

L: He has to be thinking of the person's face as he writes their name. If he writes her name but thinks of your face, it won't work.

NATALIE: That's right, Marci Maven! Marci spelled with an 'I' instead of a 'Y'.

STOTTELMEYER to MONK: What are you doing?

MONK: Calling the hotel Sharona and I stayed at eight years ago. I want to ask them the name of that comedian. If I describe what the person looks like...

STOTTELMEYER: Okay, enough! Give me the stupid notebook, so everyone can stop freaking out!

LIGHT: Fine, it's not working anyway.

Wow who is that guy? He looks too young maybe but he's making me bi lol.

Liv

I just started a new thread on the Psyche board....a FAN FIC crossover entitled "Mr Monk meets the Psychic Duo" after reading your thread I felt it only appropriate to offer the second POST to you and your daughter.....Someone had to write the first one to get the ball rolling....I think with some of the creative writers we have on both boards we can have a lot of fun........

I hope the long discussed Monk/Psyche episode will inspire people to get involved in a positive/creative way. We'll see

Can I just copy and paste this over there?

That worked out nicely....good job!

Liv. This story was just fabulous, although we don´t have Psych in Finnish tv. But I love the story.

Could Light add my name to the note book?

It wasn't as well recieved on the Psych board .

Are you sure you would want him to write your name in the notebook? You would die.

Oh. It wouldn´t work anyway. And he does not know my look.....unless he is stalking me in FaceBook.

But it would be pity to my family. Maybe then no,

The young man BourneAgain who is very active on the Psyche board and has written some storys .....I haven't read them yet but I'm thinking they are along the lines of Lee's books on Monk....anyway I suggested a FAN FIC combining the two shows......I gave them some examples as too how FAN FIC could/would be a fun way to go....if it takes fine if not all we can say is WE TRIED.......

Adrianna...don't make me hurt you You will NOT put your name in any DEATH BOOK!! GRRRRRRRRR If this thread takes off on the Psyche board I'll write you in so you can follow along....eventually Psyche will come to Finnish T.V. and you'll laugh at how it all fit together.....then you can tell your children how Liv and Wolfie made you STAR!!

Just fwiw, hadn't even seen those other series and still enjoyed reading it!

I'm a fan of The Ring (or I should specify, Ringu, the Japanese version) and love that kind of crazy random DOOM stuff!

That just about describes Death Note. Crazy Random DOOM stuff.

Shouldn´t people try everything once? All right, I promise to reconsider this.
Sweet to take care of me, Wolfie and Liv....

Please feel free to add me to your stories, Wolf....I always enjoy them, as you know.

But I think, that Finnish tv should reconsider its programs...we don´t have Burn Notice, Psych or Royal Pains...happily we have Monk, Bones and Grey´s Anatomy...although the episodes come to F. one or two years late...

Light remains me Dexter, a murderer, who kills only bad guys, so maybe they are heros.

But is this a chain story thread...or are we just talking...not a bad idea that either.

I believe it was Liv giving us an example of "what could be" or "what she and her daughter like to do for fun" which is a whole lot better than how most children relate to thier parents....but that's another story. Of course "DEATH BOOK" could be a warning....so if your daughter goes Goth, joins a coven, or has Vampire teeth implanted don't say I didn't warn you.

But as it realted to the thread we are/were trying to get off the ground it was a Fan Fic story similar to Dragon's Lair but using Monk and Psych as the crossover shows .....but so far one no one has been particularly receptive to the idea...

Eh. Their loss.

I know it makes no sense given the difference in time period, but I'd enjoy a Monk / Magnum P.I. crossover. At the very least, Tom Selleck could guest star in a Monk episode.

I understand this term crossover, but I have learnt it here on the USA Forum. Are they usually stories, or have someone also filmed crossovers? The results would be interesting.

They were all the rage, especially in the 1980s.

See "Crossovers between established shows".

If you're a law and order fan, you may remember the crossover between Law and Order and Homicide: Life on the Street. Interestingly enough, the Detective Munch character from L&O: Special Victims Unit originally came from the aforementioned Homicide show!

In the 80s we saw such crossovers as Magnum PI and Simon and Simon, and Magnum PI and Murder She Wrote.

I watched Magnum P.I. a lot as a kid. I always thought it was cool that Rick had mafia connections even though he was ex-military and pretty straight.

What I'd really like to see is a Monk/Castle crossover, although any Monk crossover would probably fail. Maybe Tony and Traylor could do cameos on Castle.

LOL! I love that show. I would love to see what Monk would think of Castle and Castle of Monk. Castle would flirt with Natalie, I'm sure, and he might even consider maybe basing a character off of Monk, but in the end decide that no one would find a character based off Monk believable.
