... Then I'd say it counts as a crossover, wouldn't you?
The author's note makes me think that the kid should know better. For one thing, they can spell.
Would anyone like to kill the fic that adds in something called Sylvari, apparently from a continuum called Guild Wars, forces Treebeard out of character, has a Sue
called Ceres who is speshul, in-jokes that make no sense, etc. And this is from the first two chapters. It's called Wild Growth and it's on the Pit.

The author thinks that it shouldn't be marked as a crossover, despite adding a species, names, and characters from Guild Wars.
What is this sort of crossover called? Full co-habitation? I think it could be that.
And specific, for that matter. If I have a character refer to an off-screen train named Thomas, that doesn't mean it's a crossover with Thomas the Tank Engine.
On a side note, saying someone 'should know better' is another way of saying they don't; that means it's bordering on a personal attack of sorts, which obviously we don't do. ;) It can be a pain at times, but that's how it goes.
hS
It's one thing if the series references something in another fandom, but this one seems to have adopted a chunk of worldbuilding.
Ah, sorry. What I suppose should be said, in the more politically correct way, is that the suethor seems a bit different from our run-of-the-mill suefic writer: they have a good grasp of spelling and grammar, and possibly a beta reader.
Precisely. Has it already been murdered?
And it's demon miss, my friend. :)
It seems that no, it was not. Also, I stand corrected.
S'alright.
I have limited knowledge of Guild Wars, I'm just gonna go check if a Sylvari is what I think it is.
