| - This article is about the fanfic series. For the series of published science fiction novels called The Grand Tour, see Ben Bova. The Grand Tour series is a collection of fanfics written by Drunken Grognard. It is a Mega Crossover featuring appearance of numerous series, but mostly focuses on the casts of Star Trek, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Ranma One Half, and Sailor Moon, with semi-major appearances of Black Lagoon and Slayers characters. The first entry of the series, aptly titled Grand Tour, began life a Crack Fic that did its take on the common fanfic gag of Ryoga's ability to get lost being equated to being able to end up anywhere in the multiverse without trying. This time however, this ability is considered quite a danger that the TSAB ends up tracking him down, but not before the USS Voyager tries to exploit Ryoga's 'gift' in an attempt to return home. This leads to a chain of events that has the USS Voyager stranded in the Mirror Universe, Ranma testing his luck against Gohan and Zuko, the TSAB investigating the future rise of Crystal Tokyo, and Lina Inverse and company ending up in the world of Berserk. The second entry of the series, Journey, shifts away from the multiversal romp of the first to focus on the growth of several characters. Ranma Saotome, having gained a couple skills during the events of the first fic, finds himself taking up a role of martial arts sensei to Nabiki Tendo. Not only that, he's charged by the TSAB with supporting the Outer Senshi in Tokyo's defense while the Inner Senshi go to Mid Childa for training under Nanoha Takamachi. Things get tense however, when Youma attacks keep increasing with no end in sight. The third entry, Odyssey, returns to the multiversal nature of the first. In a galaxy far far away, Admiral Thrawn orders the creation of an engine that allows travel between dimensions, the technology gleamed from a Borg Ship that chased Voyager into the GFFA during the beginnings of Grand Tour. With this engine, Thrawn hopes to gain an insurmountable advantage against the New Republic with the ability to appear anywhere instantly without warning. Elsewhere, the Federation, using the data from the Voyager's travels through dimensions, decides to launch a new exploratory mission to explore alteranate realities, with Captain Jean-Luc Picard striking out where no one in the Federation has gone before. And in the aftermath of the events of Journey, the TSAB finds themselves at war with another multidimensional power, a war that neither side wanted. Little did anyone suspect the events to come would lead to a multiversal threat forming. Events that would draw Lina Inverse and her home dimension right in the middle of the chaos... A fourth story, Walkabout is done as well. Here, Ranma tries to hash out some stability in his life, complicated by the fact that several Earth governments, along with the TSAB, are sending agents to his Dojo for training. Meanwhile, Fate and Nanoha are in Tokyo for maternity leave, having conceived with the help of Mejere's technology, and Genma got Ranma engaged to a denzien of the Magic World, one who really doesn't take no for an answer. And the Japanese government really doesn't want to let anyone else know about the Magic World... It has also acquired a side story, fleshing out the Top Gear Mid-Childa special mentioned below, apparently in an attempt by the author to 'get the ideas out of my head so I can work on the stuff I want to work on.'
