1 | The ''Calvinverse'' is an unofficial name for TheVerse of Creator/{{Swing 123}} and Creator/{{garfieldodie}}'s ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' {{Fan Fic}}s.[[note]]When asked if they had an official name, garfieldodie responded with a ShrugOfGod and that "we don't think of it like that" - though [[AscendedFanon he later referenced the name]] in the epilogue of "Black Rain".[[/note]] |

3 | All of them share some common traits: a tendency to rely on aliens and monsters, a lot of {{Genre Savv|y}}iness, LampshadeHanging, and general [[{{Troperiffic}} troperifficness]]. Oh, and a hefty dose of AdaptationExpansion and ScriptFic. |

5 | The other main gimmick of the series is that they all pretend to be either an animated movie or a series on a children's network, and thus most MediumAwareness moments refer to those areas (though, confusingly, there are some references to fanfiction elements, such as chapters). |

7 | ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is the main focus of the canon, running for five seasons (with [[ScheduleSlip increasingly sparse updates]]). However, after garfieldodie took over uploading duty from Swing, he announced that Season 5 is the last season of ''The Series'', but the verse will continue in a series of one-offs that will eventually bring everything to a close. |
8 | |
9 | After ''The Series'', garfieldodie proceeded to upload a rewritten version of ''Fanfic/CanYouImagineThat'', including a coherent timeline for the series, as well as the long-awaited rewritten version of ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesIILostAtSea''. ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesIIIDoubleTrouble'' and ''Fanfic/TroubleIsland'' have also been rewritten, with numerous in-between stories such as ''Fanfic/TheCollective'' building up towards a climactic final confrontation in the completed rewritten version of ''Fanfic/RetroChill''. |

40 | * ''Can You Imagine That?'' – "Now set immediately after the final strip. I like to imagine this as an experimental TV movie the network was attempting before actually going ahead with a movie. Upon outstanding viewing figures for this, they commission..." |

42 | * ''Calvin and Hobbes: the Series:'' '''Seasons 1 - 4''' – "The first season probably needs a rewrite. ''Attack of the Teacher Creature'' would be rewritten to take place during this season, re-purposed as a TV movie. All other seasons would proceed as they are." |

57 | There are also several {{recursive fanfic|tion}}s using the same characters, though none have been addressed by the main two authors as canon. Among these is ''Fanfic/ThePezDispenserAndTheReignOfTerror''. |
58 | ---- |
59 | !!This series is the {{Trope Namer|s}} for: |
60 | * APlanetNamedZok |
61 | ---- |
62 | !!Common tropes in the stories include: |
63 | * AdaptationExpansion: Several new characters are introduced. |
64 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: ''Every'' alien speaks English. |
65 | %%* AnimatedAdaptation: Most of the stories are fake ones. |
66 | * AnimeHair: A ''very'' common trope throughout the characters in the series. It's often {{lampshade|Hanging}}d as well. |
67 | %%* APlanetNamedZok: {{Trope Namer|s}}. |
68 | * CanonDiscontinuity: |
69 | ** The official timeline implies that the original versions of the rewritten versions are not canon. |
70 | ** At the end of the ''Retro Chill'' rewrite, garfieldodie confirmed that ''Which Way is Where?'' is no longer canon. |
71 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: Most of the characters. |
72 | %%* EnergyWeapon: A number of gadgets in the series have these. |
73 | * {{Fainting}}: Quite a lot of people faint in shock in these stories. |
74 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6633809/1/Prelude-to-a-Season Prelude to a Season]]" is entirely made to drop hints for an upcoming storyline for the (now officially canceled) Season 6 of ''The Series''. Nonetheless, later Season 5 stories seem to follow up on it. |
75 | * MediumAwareness: An odd case -- since it's a ScriptFic, all the Medium Awareness moments are movie and TV show-related. It even has [[MediumAwareness/TheCalvinverse its own page!]] |
76 | %%* MonsterMash: ''The Luna Syndicate''. Lampshaded by Socrates. |
77 | %%* PostModernism: A fair amount of it. |
78 | %%* RayGun: A common weapon. |
79 | %%* RoguesGallery |
80 | %%* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Common in Swing's writings -- less so garfieldodie's, but there are a few misspellings here and there.%%Meaning? |
81 | * {{Troperiffic}}: Oh yes. If there's a science fiction or action-related trope out there, chances are the verse will have used it. |
82 | %%* TheVerse |
83 | %%* WhamEpisode: ''Fanfic/TheCollective'' |
84 | %%* WorldOfWeirdness |
85 | * YourMom: Calvin is rather fond of these types of jokes. Using examples from ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' is also common. |
