(no subject)

Okay, so it came up in discussion, and I was wondering how many worlds we really are running here. Past and present. It's interesting so see plots and such where worlds cross over.

So here's the question: Which worlds cross over? Mesh? Meld? Evolve into one another? What have you mentioned in game that brings the worlds together? Joe Manco finding Meg's Paris comes to mind. So does Wellard and Archie hearing tales of Jack Sparrow and Norrington when they were boys, and Crowly's and Aziraphale's presence in Firefly's worlds.

Meg visited Gavroche's grave, in Paris.

So far, in one group, I know we have DiR, PotC, HH, Sharpe, and Cordelia Vorkosigan's canon linked together, through various events and histories. It rather works, because DiR is the only one with a set magic "system", so no clashes with other magics.

*racks brain*

I didn't know about most of those till quite recently, but DiR and the Vorkosiverse were first established as the same 'verse here, when a much older (for some value of "much older") Will Stanton shows up on Sergyar for a visit.

I do recall it being established that Chloe from the 24-verse had heard of Charlie's band from the Lost-verse.

Sam's world is the future of Christine Daae's. He was around at (and indirectly partially the cause of) the big Opera Fire.

Well, the Mirrors, La Vita Nuova, and Medea plots were all massively crossover-y affairs in an out of the Second Age (Forsaken-verse) Across a wide-range of canons.

I think what she's asking is, which worlds are considered to be the same world. Not just characters visiting each other's.

The Good Omens-verse is the (Tonks variant of) the HPverse, by Millicanon, I think. So the HPverse is, by extension, also the Firefly-verse.

And the Firefly-verse is linked to the Dark Tower mythos by virtue of one of the Beams in the latter (not to mention that the Hands of Blue are, Millicanonically, the can-toi from DT), and Tom found traces of a Beam in one part of London Below.

The YW world and the DiR world have been . . . sort of linked, by virtue of the Speech and the Old Speech, but it seems pretty clear that they're not the same world. Same sheaf of worlds, perhaps.

*nods* Considering that the magic systems are quite different in TDIR and YW, not to mention the basis of power structure, it's safe to say that they're not the same world. The magic used in both is sort of compatible, though -- that is to say, we haven't yet blown up the bar by combining the two. ^_^

Keyword there being yet.

I think we've more or less made it Millicanon that the Roswell and Wheel of Time worlds are the same.

Mmmm.

Actually, we noted a similarity and left it open to flexibility as to whether or not there is strict identity between the worlds there.

Thankfully, it's WoT canon that there are multiple Mirrors of the Wheel, which can explain another world that has extreme similarity from the same Age or a different Age, just one hop over.

The worlds of "King Kong" and "Dead Like Me" are linked via Daisy Adair.

Rent and To Wong Foo: Angel met Vida Bohemme at some point pre-bar. (And Vida's still got about a year before Angel dies, if I'm remembering dates right.)

There was discussion of linking Silent Hill and... canon that various kitsune-pups are from whose name escapes me. But I think that fell through on a few technicalities, which is just as well because the series makes it hard enough trying to contain internal consistency.

There's a videogame reference that links Van Helsing canon with Castlevania.

Most of my pups' canons are not really crossover-friendly. I mean, how many other canons are there with anthropomorphic computer programs interacting with humans?

I don't think it's been specifically mentioned in-game thus far, except that Shelley is subject to Bone Daddy-death, but Debi and I loosely decided that the Scary-go-Round world is in fact Roundworld, from the Dicword canon.

(It's would explain so. Much.)

...Discworld. I can spell.

There's also a connection, at least, between Young Wizards and Neverwhere.

Hi, Gavroche. :D

Oh, yes! Thank you.

*forgetful*
