Quote:Q: Does Drunkard's Walk crossover with any other fanfic series?
A: Yes, several, in fact. Readers may recall that Legion and Minerva from Ed Becerra's megaseries Legion's Quest appear in chapter 5 of Drunkard's Walk II. It's no secret, between their dialogue and the information on the main DW page on this site, that Drunkard's Walk X is intended to explicitly pair up Doug and Legion for a joint adventure.

Establishing that DW and Legion's Quest exist in the same "meta-continuity" means that the (in)famous Twisted Path series by Twister is also contiguous with DW, by virtue of its close integration with LQ. And since the beginning of Barry Cadwgan's A Wolf In Crisis specifically intersects (however briefly) with events from the end of Twisted Path 3, it, too, is part of the same continuum.

The incomplete Legion's Quest story entitled "Mi Vida Loco" also links in Jeff Hosmer's Dirty Pair saga, featuring Jusenkyo-cursed Zen. You can find those stories on his page, under the great, big "DIRTY PAIR / CROSSOVERS" headline.

(Ed's use of the Undocumented Features universe in his first LQ story, though, was unauthorized by Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins, the central editorial force behind the EPU creative collective, and any place it claims in UF continuity has been rejected as invalid and nonexistent. Beyond that, the UF universe has been officially closed to new authors for many years. Therefore, out of deference to Gryphon, I will not presume to say that DW can possibly intersect with UF.)

Furthermore, we have Mark Latus' permission to include Titanite (aka Titania Hobbes and Sailor Polaris) from the Dark Kingdom Renegades in Drunkard's Walk X. This will draw the Sailor Moon Expanded project into the meta-continuity, even though Titanite's presence is only one of her "Bogosity" stops.

Then there is, of course, Drunkard's Walk V, which explicitly crosses over with Christopher Angel's Oh! My Goddess self-insert fic, Oh! My Brother!. And OMB naturally draws in with it all the "subuniverses" found in God's Toy and its affiliated "omake" series, God's Toychest.

Doug visits Fenspace, the shared-world weird-tech space opera setting born and written on my discussion forums, in the prologue for Rob Kelk's story Galactic Girls. While this is a Stagger, or fan-written story, I consulted heavily on it and I consider it as official as it can get without me actually writing it myself.

Finally, Drunkard's Walk appears as itself -- as a fic -- in Craig Reed's Bubblegum Avatar. It is included in a collection of fanfiction that is provided to Sylia Stingray along with other Bubblegum Crisis materials -- plus Craig Reed's self-insert character -- by Ishmael, a godlike being who needs an agent to act in that particular BGC universe. Craig's Sylia apparently finds Doug amusing when he's not actually in her face, because she makes Craig use Doug's name as an alias on several occasions. Ishmael also explicitly states that the fanfics he's provided all detail existing alternate universes, which expands the realm of possible cross-connections with DW by a couple more orders of magnitude than I think I really want to deal with.

All other fics or fic series which explicitly intersect with any of these stories would also belong in the greater multiverse so defined, but at this writing, I'm not aware of any other candidates for inclusion. Besides, don't you think that's enough already?

If you're curious as to what this greater continuum actually looks like, though, long-time reader and forum member M. Fnord, with help from the greater Drunkard's Walk Forum community, assembled in September 2007 an impressive diagram of the interconnections, which you may download here. (Warning -- it's freakin' huge.)

Borrow that Stonehenge that Spinal Tap takes on tour.




As for the wizard, wouldn't Willow do?

Ah, yes - that's the tricky part.
