3
4	The stories written by Tropers/WarioBarker, some over the course of at least a decade. Only some of these have been published.
5	----
6	!!The Four Stories
7	The four that began this whole lineup. The early ones were conceived when the author was very young, and hence may seem childish in nature.
8
9	* '''The First Story''' - A girl, her father, and her best friend find a dog on the side of a lake... (originally written circa 1994)
10	* '''The Second Story''' - Four sentient animals find themselves face-to-face with a certain blue box... (''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}'' / ''Series/DoctorWho'' CrossOver; originally written circa 1996)
11	* '''The Third Story''' - Four Pokémon are sucked through a [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Time Gate]], meeting a lamb who would later be Susan Wise... (originally written circa 1999)
12	* '''The Fourth Story''' - [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash Ketchum]] and friends travel to Poorfield Beach, where they discover much more about not only themselves, but just how many worlds there are... (originally written circa 2002)
13	* '''The Twelve Dimensions''' - The result of combining the above four. A young man collapses, then awakes in a strange land 1,000 years into his future with no way to get home...but with so much to see and do in these new worlds, would he even ''want'' to go home if given the chance? (originally written circa 2004)
14	----
15	!!''Series/DoctorWho: The Continuing Adventures''
16	Chronicles an unspecified incarnation of the Doctor, albeit long after he ''should'' be dead...
17
18	* '''Azumanga Who''' - The Doctor finds himself and his daughters stranded in Japan, thanks to an inexplicable fault with the TARDIS. Although he merely wants to fix the Ship and leave, the Doctor requires help from a certain prodigy at a certain school - but several people from his past have other ideas...and it seems the Doctor is missing his memories of them. (crossover with ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'')
19	* '''An Azumanga Halloween''' - Tomo gets Yomi to dress up as the "super cow" from a show they like, but Yomi doesn't feel comfortable with how realistic her costume seems to be. [[spoiler:Those aren't prosthetics.]]
20	* '''Jani's Birthday Trip''' - The Doctor and Hannah take Jani Bodmann into his future, but the TARDIS ends up overshooting its destination - and lands on an Earth ruled by the Supreme Overlord.
21	* '''R&S Depression Syndrome''' - Rebekah and Sarah are captured, as are the Doctor and Hannah...but Rebekah and Sarah are helpless, and when all is revealed it sends the Doctor to the brink of sanity.
22	* '''An Insignificant Choice''' - The Doctor feels a strange sense of dread and weight about something that ''should'' be considered trivial at best. Making this decision won't change anything...right? [[note]](The first half, set prior to "The End of Time", is [[spoiler:where the timeline diverges: one choice led to the canon Eleventh Doctor, the other led to this path[[/spoiler]].)[[/note]]
23	* '''Phases of the Moon''' - The Doctor and Hannah, now alone, travel Earth as the TARDIS regrows. In March 1984, a strange girl calls for help from an abandoned German mansion, but perhaps some riddles are best left unsolved... (crossover with ''[[Anime/TsukuyomiMoonPhase Moon Phase]]'')
24	* '''Master Slave''' - The Doctor's first incarnation, walking the Earth without his Ship in 2009, visits the residence of a young girl he knows is being held there against her will.
25	* '''The Matter of the Cake''' - The Doctor gets moody. Hannah tries to [[Film/NapoleonDynamite build a cake]]. There are words. And slapping.
26	* '''Terror of the Zypedrians''' - The Doctor is summoned by the White Guardian to stop a Zypedrian before it can kill Chris Davola, the first Human to meet the Venusians (which in turn led to a war that nearly wiped out the Zypedrians), before he is born in 1990.
27	* '''The Final End''' - The Doctor, Hannah, Allura, and Chrissie discover that all is not well on the Eye of Orion...and the menace behind it, who claims to have secretly controlled the Time Lord's every move since his Eleventh incarnation, wants him dead for what may be the most sympathetic of reasons.
28	* '''The Dreamer Wakes''' - Perhaps the Doctor shouldn't have known about this...
29	* '''Death is But a Whisper''' - Someone is after the Doctor, Hannah, and Allura, and will stop at nothing to get his way.
30	* '''The Path of the Doctor''' - The Doctor regenerates once more, and things go very awry... [[note]](Also titled "[[spoiler:Return to the Canon]]".)[[/note]]
31	----

36	* '''Allura's Hospital''' - Allura and her friends, having escaped the clutches of an old foe, find themselves in an abandoned Japanese hospital in 1951. To protect themselves and not look out-of-place, they use their combined knowledge to restore the place back to working order as a cover, which also requires they legitimately help those requiring medical aid. The story covers the next 50 years, an era full of events large and small...until 2001, when the Doctor enters their lives again.
37	* '''"Princess" Allura [=McCoy=] in the Wrestling/{{WWE}}''' - A familiar woman takes down a renowned Superstar who causes trouble in her bookstore, and finds herself employed by [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon a certain man]] who thinks her "I've lived for over three millenia" story will draw big ratings.

64	** '''Revenge of the Fallen''' - The Doctor finds himself in a strange new world, and Fate gives him the task of tending to a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Kirlia]] who has also found herself in this place.

80	----
81	!!These stories provide examples of:
82	* ActionGirl: Allura. Although she was that way before these stories, she hardens over the course of centuries to the point of using firearms in ''The Reason Why''.
83	* AllJustADream / OrWasItADream: Dreams are a common thread in these stories.
84	** Dream Gates, which debuted in ''The First Story'', are an odd sort - if the events in the dream would benefit the greater good in reality, the events typically come to pass. Susan Wise appears to have had some power over the Gates, since no dreams involving harm to her ever came to pass.
85	*** Allura is said to have written a series of books on the Gates (looking into both their positive and negative aspects), including one specifically aimed at children. A book published under her name which promised get-rich-quick schemes regarding the Gates was quickly pulled once it was realized that no, Allura didn't write that one.
86	** Several stories discuss the power of dreams, such as ''Azumanga Who'' (which also states that dreams of one Realm take place in the other, a thread visible in ''Hawk, Bull, Slim, Slash'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen'').
87	** There are a few hints that this may overlap with DreamApocalypse.
88	* AlternateUniverseFic: When the author began writing this continuity, Series 4 was still airing and he hadn't seen it. The Doctor hence regenerated into Ronald Howard, then Jonathan Gundrie, then Creator/HughLaurie.
89	** The remainder of Ten's life was added later on, with ''An Insignificant Choice'' as the point of divergence.
90	** In early 2011, the author made the timeline diverge at Nine[='s=] regeneration, although the sole difference was the Doctor's appearance/voice - Rich Karley, not Creator/DavidTennant. That said, it seems Karley's Tenth Doctor is a result of the current Doctor's memories being faulty for whatever reason.
91	** With the events of the show's "''x'' of the Doctor" trilogy in 2013, Howard and Gundrie were removed.
92	* ArcNumber: [=DB082319882358=]. First appears in ''Azu-Who'', last appears in the more positive ending of ''Last Peace'' (and the latter is suggested to be the same instance that appears early in ''Glass Life'').
93	* {{Backstory}}: ''The Twelve Dimensions'' builds many of the characters and concepts, along with the reason why the Doctor doesn't recognize Allura and her friends in ''Azu-Who'' despite their being from his past.
94	** ''Glass Life'' is this both in- and out-of-universe.
95	* BerserkButton: Don't hurt children when the Doctor's around, especially not his own. And if you '''kill''' one (or more) of them...basically, run, [[PapaWolf for all the good it'll do you]].
96	* BittersweetEnding: After all is said and done, [[spoiler:the Doctor himself gets one]].
97	* BookEnds: The more positive ending of ''Last Peace'' has Chiyo starting to tell ''The First Story''.
98	* TheCameo: Many, including fellow authors and the Doctor's previous incarnations.
99	%%* {{Crossover}}: No, ''really?''
100	%%* CurtainFic: ''The Matter of the Cake'', for one.
101	%%* DarkFic: ''Project RINI'' is the biggest example.
102	%%* DownerEnding: The more negative ending of ''Last Peace''. [[YouBastard Oy.]]
103	* {{Fanverse}}: Nearly all of the author's stories share one continuity.
104	%%* GameShowAppearance: ''Stars & Money''.
105	* TheHeroDies: The Doctor, but this isn't really too surprising since regeneration is a major part of the character.[[spoiler:The ''Death Is But A Whisper''-''The Path of the Doctor''-''Last Peace'' trifecta results in him suffering a FateWorseThanDeath.]]
106	* MeaningfulName:
107	** Susan Wise is taken from her original name (The Wise Old Lamb) and her real one. Indeed, she even resembles her "actress" as she appeared in ''More Than 30 Years in the TARDIS''.
108	** Project RINI, though what it stands for is only revealed in the canon ending: [[spoiler:'''R'''eformation '''I'''s '''N'''ot '''I'''mpossible]].
109	* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Mainly because the Doctor [[spoiler:actually died long ago; Daniel, a companion of the Doctor, had his memories "splintered" by the Ship after the latter died to make him believe he'd regenerated. His "previous" incarnation had likewise been a companion, and had become the Doctor in much the same way]].
110	** In ''The Final End'', the Doctor [[spoiler:meets the Author (Daniel himself), who is behind the death and destruction in that story]].
111	%%* PersonOfMassDestruction: Susan Wise.
112	%%* RageAgainstTheAuthor: ''The Final End''.
113	%%* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Several times.
114	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld:
115	** The Doctor, unsurprisingly. While his current incarnation looks to be in his early-to-mid-30s, by this point he's somewhere north of 2,000. [[note]](According to him, at least. In this case, though, it's not "the Doctor lies" but [[spoiler:the fact the Doctor has actually been long-dead. The current Doctor is unaware of this, having had the real Doctor's memories/knowledge and some of his DNA put into him by the TARDIS]].)[[/note]]
116	** Allura, Chrissie, etc.
117	* RealSongThemeTune: All chosen for having similarities to the ''Doctor Who'' theme.
118	** The ''Dreamscape'' series uses a portion of DEVO's "Disco Dancer".
119	** ''Revenge of the Fallen'' uses portions of Pat Benatar's "Invincible".
120	** ''Last Peace'' uses the short theme from ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}''.
121	** Other songs used include a portion of "Land of Confusion", most of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hQiFgyYCT4 this]], and the theme heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x363d-oplGY&t=6m44s here.]]
122	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: ''R&S Depression Syndrome'' is easily the biggest example, and for good reason.
123	* SharedUniverse: Occasionally, the author's characters have been seen elsewhere by other authors - the Doctor and Hannah in ''[=AzuDrabble=] Daioh''; Hannah in ''Azumanga Politburo: Project Alice''; Allura's alter-ego Arulla in ''Every New Day''; the Doctor, Hannah, and the First Doctor in ''It Was Upon A Space Christmas''; and the Doctor in ''Memories''.
124	** While very likely unintentional, the Fifteenth Doctor in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6881512/1/Two_of_a_Kind Two of a Kind]]'' seems to resemble Daniel's, with Mystery somewhat resembling Hannah.
125	* ShoutOut:
126	** "[[Series/NationalBingoNight NOOOO DRINKOOOO! Soberness still on!]]"
127	** [[Series/WheelOfFortune A certain slide whistle]] plays at one point during ''Azu-Who'' for no particular reason.
128	** "Alright, class, today we'll do something different: [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner the effects of gasoline...on fire.]]"
129	** "[[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons JANE, STOP THIS CRAZY THING!!!]]"
130	** An ''Azu-Who'' chapter is completely irrelevant to the story and ends with a parody of the infamous ''Series/StElsewhere'' ending...which is then subverted in the next chapter by being a dream of the Doctor.
131	** Later in ''Azu-Who'', the Doctor, Yukari, and Osaka recite lines from "She Loves You" and a parody heard on ''The Dr. Demento Show''.
132	--->'''The Doctor:''' [[LampshadeHanging I was starting to grow bored of that double reference, anyway.]]
133	** An entire scene uses the Secret Word gag from ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'', with the word being [[spoiler:boobs]].
134	** "[[Franchise/StarWars A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...]] Oh, sorry. [[YouWannaGetSued Wrong...copyright-brand...thingy.]]"
135	** "[[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap THIS...IS...SPINAL TAP!]]"
136	** "[[Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero Buh-lieve it or not]], [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Daniel's not at home...]]"
137	* ShownTheirWork: A header in the author's works (only his own private files) is dedicated to him using what he wrote to figure out the best slotting in his canon.
138	* [[spoiler:StableTimeLoop]]: Nanami. [[spoiler:After dying from the energy taken to save Earth and restore it (and its inhabitants), an act which also ripples back three years and is what caused the TARDIS to go berserk, her last breath creates a glass coffin which shoots off into space. The coffin ends up landing on another Earth during the "Allura's Hospital" period where Allura, now hardened due to various reasons, extracts the DNA which results in Yukari and Nyamo conceiving Nanami and a sequence of events that results in the girl being entrusted to "M".]]
139	%%* TimeTravel
140	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hannah, Allura, and the "good side" of Lavos enjoy tea.
