[ SLANG ][ STORYTELLING ][ NOUN ]
When two previously separate storylines, fandoms, or personal narratives get referenced together and their internal rules visibly contradict each other.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The crossover episode caused a full lore collision, half the fandom is still arguing about which timeline wins."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'lore-accurate' into the moment two lores actually meet and clash, borrowing 'collision' from physics language for incompatible systems meeting.
