Ligatures are a tricky subject. My Typography students always come with fabulous ideas, like blending different Serif Letters together and creating any kind of Monogram looking logos.
I always encourage them to work with the white space instead of with the letter itself. That way, one realises the atrocious shapes of that counters rather than the actual shape of the resulting ligature.
Other thing that is good to keep in mind: If you can't draw it with a calligraphic pen, it's very likely a bad a idea.
