''The Tale of Westala and Villtin'' is an [[{{Usenet}} alt.fan.pratchett]] fanfic series written by Örjan Westin, Marco Villata and Elin Rosén. Not Creator/TerryPratchett fanfic; ''alt.fan.pratchett'' fanfic.
The main characters are two heroes, with a notable resemblance to both the authors and Literature/FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser, who over the course of their adventures encounter various heroes and villains with a similarity to other afpers. Parodies of anything else the authors can think of also make regular appearances, if at all possible in combination with the above.
The series currently runs to one novel-length fic, one novella, one quick skit, and one unfinished novel-length fic. While the first one was started on the spur of the moment and continued in a rather random fashion, the second one was much more planned, which may be why it became moribund.
The Taleoverse has even [[RecursiveFanfiction spawned its own fanfic]].
The series comprises
* ''[[http://tale.cunobaros.com/tales/talenoframes.html The Tale of Westala and Villtin: Ill in Anorankhmar]]''
* ''A Midwinter's Tale'' (novella)
* ''A Birthday Tale'' (skit)
* ''[[http://tale-chronicler.livejournal.com/ The Second Tale of Westala and Villtin: Return of the Striking Knights]]''
----
!!Tropes:
* AdjectiveAnimalAlehouse: The Plummetting Lemming in Anorankhmar and the Unobtrusive Beagle in Hannovarian Hinckley (a parody of the Snooty Fox pub at former [=DiscCon=] location Hanover Hotel, Hinckley).
* AlternateUniverseFic: Arguably, an AlternateUniverse RealPersonFic (although only a handful of said people are famous). Just as arguably, an original creation which uses a few obvious characteristics as starting points.
* AuthorAvatar
* BigBadDuumvirate: Bos and Ballong in ''Ill In Anorankhmar''
* BumblingSidekick: [[BigBad Lord Sopracasa's]] manservant Malindrew in ''Return of the Striking Knights'' is a pastiche of [[Series/BlackAdder Baldrick]], complete with turnip obsession.
* CatGirl: The Goddess Pfeiffa -- the Taleoverse version of Bast. Yes, named after [[Film/BatmanReturns Michelle]], but also the Lapine word for "cat" in ''WatershipDown'' is "pfeffa".
* ChristmasEpisode: ''A Midwinter's Tale''
* CityOfAdventure: Anorankhmar
* CoatHatMask: In ''Striking Knights'', the Upright Man and his sidekick, [[Discworld/{{Maskerade}} Walter]] [[Radio/TheShadow Allard]], wear Cloak, Hood, Mask.
* {{Crossover}}: ''A Birthday Tale'' crosses over with ''another'' afp tradition, Paul Jamison's Birthday Salute. Versions of the ferret characters from the Salute also appear in the Tales proper.
* DeadFic: ''Return of the Striking Knights'' was last updated in 2009.
* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser.
* HerCodenameWasMarySue: Largely the point.
* HurricaneOfPuns: The other point.
* MrExposition: Kendy D'Avid in ''Return of the Striking Knights'' knows a lot about the history of Anorankhmar and will rattle it off enthusiastically if asked.
* MagnificentSevenSamurai: Autopet is assembling such a group, with appropriate {{Punny Name}}s, in ''Return Of The Striking Knights''.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Afpers with "dragon" in their username tend to get it literalised. Major players include a friendly eight foot long specimen with similarities to both the Luggage and [[Franchise/{{Alien}} the Xenomorph]], and a Prince of Dragons who is [[TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX only known by a symbol]].
* {{Prequel}}: ''A Midwinter's Tale''.
* ShoutOut: To ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' (obviously), ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', comics, music, and much, much more. Like ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' itself, it has an [[http://tale.cunobaros.com/awvf/index.html annotations page]].
* SomethingThatBeginsWithBoring: Westala and Villtin play I-Spy on the way to the Truefort Manor. Messy tries to start a game while locked in a cell, but the only thing there is "Shackles".
* WaxingLyrical: Characters often do this, for example Sherrilob's deduction that one of the heroes is Messy Marall results in an extensive quote from "Hands Clean" by AlanisMorissette "Ooh, this could be Messy..."
* YouMeanXmas: Midwinter Night in ''A Midwinter's Tale''.
