Crossing-Over is a Furry Transformation Webcomic written by Paradox F. about a ferret named Cliff who gets into trouble after prowling the streets at night wearing a mask. The story is PG-13 and is a mish-mash of several ideas into one. There are dinosaur-like creatures in this modern-looking furry setting and for a genderbending comic, it's played quite straight. The comic started in 2012 and updates every one to two weeks. You can read it here.
Not to be confused with the Harry Potter fanfic.
Tropes included:
- Attractive Bent-Gender: Cliff's alternate form is tall, long-haired and has a nice figure.
- Beast Man: The comic's characters are mainly humans with animal features pinned onto them.
- Big Eater: Cliff's alternate form eats more than one would expect.
- Clark Kenting: Cliff's mask is just a blindfold with holes for his eyes.
- Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: It's implied, by law enforcers, that being out on the streets in a shady get-up is not that uncommon as one might think.
- Easy Sex Change: Cliff changes by glowing with a bright flash of light.
- Furries Are Easier to Draw: The art is evident of this and the data page lists why furry was picked as the art style.
- Gender Bender: This does not show up until the third chapter but it does happen.
- Gender-Restricted Ability: Cliff's alternate form is faster, stronger and more durable.
- Manchild: Cliff may be mature for his age but he's still himself mentally when transformed.
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman: Cliff does this for a moment with one hand after his first change but got interrupted by his opponent.
- Multilayer Façade: Cliff has two or three different identities depending on how you look at it.
- Overnight Age-Up: Cliff's alternate form is definitely older than his normal self.
- Secret Identity: Cliff literally goes under different identities when wearing the mask, not wearing it, and in between.
- Third Law of Gender-Bending: Cliff gets strangely used to his new body right away.
- Utility Belt: Cliff brought and used TWO grappling hooks, a crowbar and carried some weapons too. All from a kit in a hobby store!
