19	* ''Across a Star-Swept Sea'' by Creator/DianaPeterfreund is a version of ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel'' [-IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE-]!
20	* The ''Literature/AlexisCarew'' series is what ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' would be, if the setting was even more forced to be ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' [-IN SPACE-]. Ships have actual sails that are set by hand, [[SubspaceOrHyperspace darkspace]] is treated like [[SpaceIsAnOcean an ocean]] with currents and "shoals". In darkspace, ships are navigated by dead reckoning (effectively making guesses) and fire broadsides at one another using hand-loaded cannons. Even the official currency is based on the pre-decimal British system, likely confusing many modern readers. And every single ship part is given an archaic naval name (to the point where a ship's mechanic is called a carpenter despite using a 3D printer instead of wood), causing Alexis to frequently get confused by seemingly made up words like "futtock".
21	* ''Literature/TheAutomaticDetective'' is ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' [-STARRING METALHEAD!-]
22	* ''Literature/BenHur'' is ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' [-IN [[BibleTimes BIBLE TIMES!]]-]
23	* The novel ''Billion Dollar Boy'' is ''Literature/CaptainsCourageous'' [-IN SPACE-]!
24	* ''Literature/TheBookOfTheNamed'' is ''Literature/WarriorCats'' [-IN PREHISTORY AND EVEN MORE VIOLENT-]!
25	* ''[[Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures Captive of the Red Vixen]]'' is an Age of Sail Romance [-IN SPACE-] with [[TalkingAnimal ANTHROPOMORPHIC FOXES]]!
26	* ''Literature/ChristianNation'' is ''Literature/LeftBehind'' [-WITH [[PersecutionFlip CHRISTIAN DOMINIONISTS AS THE VILLAINS AND NON-CHRISTIANS AS THE VICTIMS]]!-]
27	* ''Chronicles Of The Nephilim'' is ''Series/GameOfThrones'' [-WITH [[Literature/TheBible BIBLE]] CHARACTERS!-]
28	* ''Literature/CiaphasCain'', '''Hero of the Imperium!!!''' is {{Literature/Flashman}} (with a side order of the same author's Literature/McAuslan) [-IN SPACE-].
29	* ''Conan and the Treasure of Python'' by John Maddox Roberts is ''Literature/KingSolomonsMines'' [-WITH [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian CONAN]]-]!
30	** ''Conan the Rogue'' by the same writer is HardboiledDetective fiction (borrowing the story elements from ''Literature/TheMalteseFalcon'', ''Literature/RedHarvest'' and ''Literature/TheDainCurse'') [-WITH [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian CONAN]]-]!
31	* Creator/DavidDrake's ''[[Literature/HammersSlammers Cross The Stars]]'' is ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' [-IN SPACE WITH ALIENS INSTEAD OF MONSTERS AND A ManipulativeBastard TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE HERO'S WORLD INSTEAD OF SUITORS TRYING TO MARRY PENELOPE. AND A MERCENARY COLONEL-turned-MILITARY DICTATOR INSTEAD OF ZEUS-]
32	** Sequel ''The Voyage'' is ''The Argonautica'' [-IN SPACE WITH A FEMALE JASON RECOVERING HER CRAZY UNCLE's EXPERIMENTAL FTL DRIVE TO CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE FAMILY MEGACORP-]
33	* ''Literature/{{Damned}}'' by Creator/ChuckPalahniuk has been described as ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' [-IN {{HELL}}-]!
34	* James Patterson's ''Literature/DanielX'' series is Franchise/JamesBond [-WITH A TEENAGE [[HumanAliens ALIEN]]!-]
35	* ''Literature/DeadSilence'', a salvage crew finds a GhostShip-- in space! Described as ''Film/Titanic1997'' meets ''Film/EventHorizon''. Played with in story as the ghost ship Aurora was actually built to resemble a sea going luxury liner to give potential passengers a sense of familiarity.
36	* ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' is ''Series/TheWonderYears'' [-AS A BOOK SERIES AND IN THE PRESENT DAY-]!
37	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
38	** ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}'' is ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' [-WITH WITCHES-]!, although there's a bit more {{Deconstruction}} than that. In fact, the Witches books in general are typically [[TwiceToldTale a twist on a classic story]] or, in two cases, [[TheBardOnBoard a Shakespeare play]].
39	** ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'' is ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' [-WITH FOOTBALL-]!
40	** ''Literature/NightWatchDiscworld'' is superficially ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' [-IN ANKH-MORPORK!-]... [[SubvertedTrope except it's a bit more complicated than that]]: The InspectorJavert equivalent is an unambiguously heroic character (albeit a shining example of GoodIsNotSoft and GoodIsNotDumb) and the fugitive he's doggedly pursuing is a cheerfully psychopathic murderer reminiscent of ComicBook/TheJoker, for a start. And there's TimeTravel involved.
41	** Similarly, ''Literature/TheTruth'' is ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen'' [-ALSO IN ANKH-MORPORK!-], but with one rather important difference: [[spoiler: The shadowy conspiracy is trying to ''depose'' Lord Vetinari, not keep him in office.]]
42	* ''Literature/DivineMisfortune'' is ''Literature/AmericanGods'' [-AS A COMEDY-]!
43	* ''Literature/DorkDiaries'' is ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' [-FOR GIRLS!-]
44	** Or ''Film/MeanGirls'' [-IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!-]
45	* ''{{Literature/Dune}}'' is ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia'' [-IN SPACE!-]
46	* S.M. Stirling's ''Literature/{{Emberverse}}'' is Myth/KingArthur meets ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' [-AFTER THE END-]!
47	* ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain'' is ''Literature/{{Illuminatus}}'' [-AS A [[SaturdayMorningCartoon SATURDAY-MORNING CARTOON]]!-]
48	* The ''Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse'' novel ''The Eternity Casket'' is ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' [-IN SPACE! WITH ADDED ''DOCTOR WHO'' WEIRDNESS!-]
49	* ''Literature/AFallOfMoondust'' is the sinking of the submarine [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_K13 K13]] and the rescue of the crew [-ON THE MOON-]. (The novel was written in 1961, before the successful landings of the ''Surveyor'' and ''Luna'' probes put an end to the "deep Moondust" theory.)
50	* ''Literature/FightClub'' by Creator/ChuckPalahniuk is ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'' for the post-modern era.
51	* Creator/JoeHill has referred to ''Literature/TheFireman'' as being "''Literature/TheStand'' soaked in gasoline".
52	* Creator/IsaacAsimov
53	** ''Literature/TheFoundationTrilogy'': Dr Asimov was open about his efforts to write a ScienceFiction [[TheEpic saga]] that was effectively ''Literature/TheDeclineAndFallOfTheRomanEmpire'' [-IN SPACE-]! Trantor is the capital of Rome, and the primary perspective is from a planet at the outer edges of the empire, watching as they grow to supplant Trantor as the [[GalacticSuperpower capital of a galactic empire]]. Several aspects of the collapse are recycled to fit the new setting, such as the Byzantine Empire (Cleon II is Justinian I and Bel Riose is Belisarius) and the sacking of Rome (Trantor's CityPlanet is torn apart and the capital is moved to Neotrantor).
54	** ''Literature/WordsOfScienceAndTheHistoryBehindThem'': The entry for "Echinodermata" explains a medieval theory that aquatic life was a mirror to terrestrial life. Thus, many living things from the oceans are named "sea _____", as in "____, but from the sea". A list that includes sea lions, sea hogs, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins.
55	* ''The Game of Empire'' by Creator/PoulAnderson is ''Literature/{{Kim}}'' [-IN THE Literature/{{TECHNIC HISTORY}} UNIVERSE-]! [-WITH THE [[GenderFlip DAUGHTER]] OF DOMINIC FLANDRY-]!
56	* The children's book series ''Get Ready for Gabi!'' is ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' [-IN THIRD GRADE-]!
57	* ''Godspeed'' by Creator/CharlesSheffield is ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' [-IN SPACE-]!
58	* ''Literature/GoodOmens'' is ''Film/TheOmen'' [-BUT FUNNY!-]
59	* ''Literature/TheGraceOfKings'' by Creator/KenLiu is the [[UsefulNotes/DynastiesFromShangToQing Chu-Han Contention]] [-ON AN ARCHIPELAGO WITH AIRSHIPS-]! Xiang Yu is replaced by Mata Zyndu while Liu Bang is replaced by Kuni Garu.
60	* ''Literature/TheGraveyardBook'' is ''Literature/TheJungleBook'' [-WITH GHOSTS!-]
61	* Now that ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'' has entered the public domain in the United States, there are many retellings [-WITH OPENLY LGBTQ CHARACTERS!-]
62	* ''The Grey Bastards'' by Jonathan French is ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' [-WITH HALF-ORCS RIDING PIGS!-]
63	* ''Literature/GuardiansOfGaHoole'' is essentially UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo [-WITH OWLS-]!
64	** Alternatively, it's ''Literature/WarriorCats'' [-WITH OWLS!-]
65	* Creator/RobertAHeinlein makes a lot of use of this trope:
66	** ''Literature/DoubleStar'' is ''Literature/ThePrisonerOfZenda'' [-IN SPACE-]!
67	** ''Literature/CitizenOfTheGalaxy'' is Rudyard Kipling's ''Literature/{{Kim}}'' [-IN SPACE-]!
68	** Among ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress'', ''Literature/RedPlanet'', and ''Literature/BetweenPlanets'', it's obvious the American Revolution [-IN SPACE-]! was a big thing with Heinlein.
69	** ''Literature/RocketShipGalileo'' is Nazis [-IN SPACE-]!
70	** ''Literature/StarmanJones'' is Horatio Alger [-IN SPACE-]!
71	** ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' is ''Film/TheSandsOfIwoJima'' [-IN SPACE-]!
72	** Etc. You get the picture. To his credit, Heinlein never pretended to make stuff up out of whole cloth, as he had several characters in several books explain at length. (e.g., [[Literature/TheRollingStones1952 Hazel Meade Stone]] explaining that she was going to do an episode of her radio serial as Shakespeare [-IN SPACE-].)
73	* ''Literature/TheHermuxTantamoqAdventures'' is ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' [-IN A [[RetroUniverse RETRO UNIVERSE]] WITH DETECTIVES-]!
74	* ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'': The ''Argo II'' InUniverse.
75	* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' started out as ''Literature/HoratioHornblower''... [-IN SPACE-]!, with the series physics specifically designed to create a futuristic version of WoodenShipsAndIronMen. Later, it made a major [[OffTheRails hard turn away]] from this. "Echoes of Honor" was ''Film/TheGreatEscape'' [-IN SPACE-], as well the Hornblower novel ''Flying Colours'' [-IN SPACE-].
76	* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Panem is, for all intents and purposes, the Roman Empire [-IN THE FUTURE-]!
77	* The novel ''Literature/InfernoLarryNivenAndJerryPournelle'' by Creator/LarryNiven and Jerry Pournelle, is ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' with DeadToBeginWith, sci-fi GenreSavvy protagonist instead of Dante who tries (unsuccessfully) to explain Hell as LostTechnology or an "Infernoland" created by aliens. His guide isn't Virgil, but UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini. Additions to the original include a Hellish version of a CelestialBureaucracy in which damned souls as well as demons work, new torments for [[StrawmanPolitical both extreme environmentalists and wanton environment-destroyers]], and the theologically questionable revelation that anyone can escape Hell through redemption and sincere effort.
78	* ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' is ''Franchise/StarWars'' [-IN MIDDLE-EARTH-]! (though it diverges from the plot in the last two books)
79	* At its core, ''Literature/IntoTheDrowningDeep'' is ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' but on the ocean. It is a sequel to a story where a shipload of people were lost, where a more heavy armed ship is sent to the area by a powerful corporation that is interested in capturing one of the dangerous creatures that caused the loss of the first ship. The sirens are similar to xenomorphs in a number of ways such as having vaguely humanoid but monstrous and slimy forms, predatory instincts, the capacity for strategic thought, deadly blood and the ability to climb sheer walls. Ultimately, the climax comes [[spoiler:when the characters encounter the much larger female of the species]].
80	* ''Literature/TheJeremiahSchool'' is ''Literature/HarryPotter'' [-WITH CHRISTIAN CHILDREN BEING PROPHETS GOING TO A SPECIAL BOARDING SCHOOL IN AMERICA-]!
81	* ''Leviathan '99'' by Creator/RayBradbury is ''Literature/MobyDick'' [-IN SPACE-]!
82	* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' is ''Literature/ThePilgrimsProgress'' [-IN MIDDLE-EARTH!-]
83	* ''Literature/LordOfTheWorld'' is ''Literature/LeftBehind'' [-BUT CATHOLIC-]! Except [[OlderThanTheyThink it came first]], so actually ''Literature/LeftBehind'' is ''Literature/LordOfTheWorld'' [-BUT EVANGELICAL-]!
84	* ''Literature/TheLostFleet'' series is a loose retelling of Xenophon's ''Literature/{{Anabasis}}'' [-AS {{SPACEOPERA}}!-] One could also make a case for the protagonist being ComicBook/CaptainAmerica [-IN A {{SPACENAVY}}!-]
85	* ''Literature/TheLunarChronicles'' is a FairyTaleFreeForAll [-IN THE SCI-FI FUTURE-]! Which means that it's often [-IN SPACE-]!, but not always. As the title suggests, the "Literature/SnowWhite" kingdom, which the BigBad rules, is [-ON THE MOON-]!
86	* According to WordOfGod, the setting of ''Literature/TheMachineriesOfEmpire'' began as ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'' [-IN SPACE-]!
87	* Several reviewers have referred to ''Literature/TheMartian'' as ''Series/MacGyver1985'' [-ON MARS-]!
88	* Creator/BenBova's ''Mercury'' is ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' [-IN SPACE-]! to the point that he's lucky that work is in the public domain.
89	* The teen horror novel "Mirror, Mirror" is Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray set [-IN A HIGH SCHOOL-], with a female protagonist and as indicated by the title, a mirror that represents how much uglier the girl's personality is becoming. In the CruelTwistEnding, she doesn't die like her book counterpart, but is horribly disfigured in an accident. Her reflection, like Dorian's painting, is now flawless.
90	* ''Literature/MusketeerSpace'' is ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' [-[[GenderFlip GENDER-FLIPPED]] (except Athos) IN SPACE-]!
91	* ''Literature/MyWeirdSchool'' is ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' [-IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL-]!
92	* ''Literature/NightsideCity'' by Creator/LawrenceWattEvans is a HardboiledDetective mystery, with all the typical attributes of the genre--set on a faraway planet of a future interstellar civilization--and with first-person narrator being Calisle Hsing, a woman detective.
93	* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' is ''Literature/HarryPotter'' [-WITH GREEK MYTHOLOGY-]!
94	** Alternatively, it's Myth/ClassicalMythology [-IN AMERICA-]!
95	* S.M. Stirling's ''Literature/ThePeshawarLancers'' is Rudyard Kipling [-AFTER THE END-]! involving a noble family founded by ''Flashman'' -- who could, it is true, successfully survive and escape post-apocalyptic Victorian England though sheer cowardice and get a knighthood from the deal.
96	* The ''Literature/PrinceRoger'' series is Xenophon's Anabasis [-In SPACE-], at least for the first three books.
97	* Creator/DonaldKingsbury's ''Literature/PsychohistoricalCrisis'': This novel [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Creator/IsaacAsimov's efforts to write ''Literature/TheDeclineAndFallOfTheRomanEmpire'' [-IN SPACE-] by having the protagonist find a copy of the original work in an antique shop. He's excited to discover a genuine Earth document, but his mentor declares it a [[ParodyDisplacement clumsy fake]] that's based on the much more recent history covered by Dr Asimov.
98	* Creator/DavidDrake 's ''Literature/{{RCN}}'' series is, according to WordOfGod, ''Literature/AubreyMaturin'' literally [-IN SPACE-]!
99	* ''Literature/RebornAsASpaceMercenaryIWokeUpPilotingTheStrongestStarship'' is a HaremGenre {{isekai}} [-InSpace-]! Or alternatively, ''VideoGame/EliteDangerous'' [-AS A HAREM ISEKAI!-] Could go either way with this one, really.
100	* ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' is ''Series/GameOfThrones'' [-WITH FURRIES-]!
101	** Alternatively, LetsPlay/LuckySevenDX describes the series as being "like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]], but [-WITH MICE-]."
102	* Creator/LarryNiven, after writing his famous science fiction novel ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'', later realized that he had ended up writing ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' [-IN SPACE-]!, with the plot and characters mirroring those in the story.
103	* ''Literature/TheRiseOfTheSaxons'' is ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries'' [-IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND!-]
104	* ''Literature/{{Rook}}'' by Sharon Cameron is a version of ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel'' [-IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE-]!
105	* ''Literature/TheSelection'' is ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' [-WITH PRINCESSES-]!
106	* ''Literature/{{Silverwing}}'' is ''Literature/WatershipDown'' [-WITH BATS-]!
107	* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is ''Literature/TheAccursedKings'' [-IN A MEDIEVAL AGE FANTASY WORLD!-]
108	* ''Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy'' by Creator/CSLewis has been called ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' [-IN SPACE-]!
109	* Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheStand'' is ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' [-IN POST-APOCALYPTIC AMERICA!-]
110	* ''Literature/TheStarsMyDestination'' is ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' [-IN SPACE-]!
111	* The Franchise/StarWarsLegends give us plenty of examples:
112	** ''Agent of the Empire'' is James Bond [-IN SPACE!-]
113	** ''Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter'' is ''Film/TheTerminator'' [-IN SPACE-]
114	** ''Literature/DeathTroopers'' is a ZombieApocalypse [-IN SPACE-]!
115	*** Specifically, it's ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' [-IN SPACE-]!
116	** ''Literature/FateOfTheJedi'' is the Franchise/CthulhuMythos [-IN SPACE-]!
117	** ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' is ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' [-IN SPACE-] and with multi-book plots!
118	*** ''Spore'' is ''Film/TheThing1982'' PG-rated and [-IN SPACE-]!
119	** ''Literature/TheGloveOfDarthVader'' is ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet'' [-IN SPACE-]!
120	** The ''Hand of Judgment'' duology (''[[Literature/StarWarsAllegiance Allegiance]]'' and ''Literature/ChoicesOfOne'') are ''Series/TheATeam'' [-IN SPACE!-]
121	** The ''Literature/HandOfThrawn'' Duology is a FixFic [-[[ArmedWithCanon IN CANON]]-]! (And also in space.)
122	** ''[[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy I, Jedi]]'' is FilmNoir [-IN SPACE-]!
123	** The ''Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy'' (at least the dynamic between Luke and Kyp) is ''Franchise/XMen'' [-IN SPACE-]!
124	** ''Literature/JunieBJones'' is ''Literature/{{Ramona}}'' [-AS A [[SpoiledBrat SPOILED BRAT]]]!
125	** The ''LiteratureMedStarDuology'' is ''{{Series/MASH}}'' [-IN SPACE!-]
126	** ''Literature/NewJediOrder'' is an alien invasion movie [-IN SPACE-]! and DarkerAndEdgier.
127	** ''[[Literature/StarWarsScoundrels Scoundrels]]'' is ''Film/OceansEleven'' [-IN SPACE!-] In fact, the intended title was ''Solo's Eleven'', but [[ExecutiveVeto Lucasfilm's lawyers decided that it was too close to the copyright]].
128	** ''Literature/{{Shatterpoint}}'' is ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' [-WITH JEDI-], ''according to [[Creator/MattStover the author]]''.
129	* ''Literature/ASymphonyOfEternity'' is Creator/KenBurns Civil War, InSpace, using {{Magitek}} combined with {{Literature/Flashman}}, Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy with elements of ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' thrown in.
130	* The ‘’Literature/SystemDivine’’ (‘’Literature/SkyWithoutStars’’, “Between Burning Worlds” and “Suns Will Rise”) series is ‘’Literature/LesMiserables’’ [-IN SPACE!-]
131	* "The Tea Master and the Detective" by Aliette de Bodard is about a wounded veteran struggling to make ends meet whose life is changed when she meets a consulting detective with astonishing powers of observation and an equally astonishing lack of social graces -- in other words, [[Main/SherlockHomage they're Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes]], only on a space station in the far future (and also 'Holmes' is a woman and 'Watson' is a female-identifying space ship). The author acknowledges the inspiration in the afterword.
132	* Pat Murphy's ''Literature/ThereAndBackAgain'' is, unabashedly and transparently, ''Literature/TheHobbit'' [-IN SPACE-]! SpacePirates, good and bad tend to fill in many of the groups in the novels (i.e. the Bilbo equivalent journeys with an all-female group of adventurers, and standing in for Orcs are the Resurrectionists, a [[{{Series/Firefly}} Reaver]]-like bunch who capture people and harvest their organs.
133	* ''Literature/Timeline191'' is UsefulNotes/WorldWarI and UsefulNotes/WorldWarII [-IF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA STILL EXISTED-]!
134	* Creator/StephenBaxter and Creator/ArthurCClarke's ''Time Odyssey'' trilogy is ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' [-WITH SCIENCE-]!
135	* Nick O'Donohoe's ''Too, Too Solid Flesh'' is literally ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' [-WITH ROBOTS-].

137	* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'':
138	** ''A Civil Campaign'' is Creator/GeorgetteHeyer [-IN SPACE-]!, as confirmed by WordOfGod.
139	** Barrayar is {{Ruritania}} [-IN SPACE-]!
140	* ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' is a meta-example. The book is part of the [[DeadHorseTrope forgotten genre]] of "Invasion Novels," wherein an alien (read: foreign) power would conquer England. Wells decided to make the aliens SPACE! aliens this time around. And thus was the AlienInvasion trope as we know it codified.
141	* ''Literature/WarriorCats'' is ''Literature/WatershipDown'' [-WITH CATS-]!. Alternatively, it's ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' [-BUT IN A SERIES-]!. Or ''Literature/CatPack'' [-BUT [[DarkerandEdgier DARKER AND EDGIER]]-]!. After it's success, the Creator/ErinHunter team (and sometimes individual members of it) tried to replicate it with other {{xenofiction}} works:
142	** ''Literature/SurvivorDogs'' is ''Warrior Cats'' [-WITH DOGS-]!
143	** ''Literature/SeekerBears'' is ''Warrior Cats'' [-WITH BEARS-]!
144	** ''{{Literature/Bravelands}}'' is ''Warrior Cats'' [-IN AFRICA-]!
145	** ''Literature/WingsOfFire'' is ''Warrior Cats'' [-WITH DRAGONS-]!
146	** ''Literature/TheTygrineCat'' is ''Warrior Cats'' [-WITH MORE FANTASY ELEMENTS-]!
147	* ''Literature/WatershipDown'' is ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' [-WITH RABBITS-]!
148	* ''Literature/{{Wolf Breed}}'' is {{Manga/Elfenlied}} in TheMiddleAges [-WITH WEREWOLVES!-]
149	* Creator/StephenKing's novel ''Literature/WolvesOfTheCalla: Franchise/TheDarkTower V'' is ''[[Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960 The Magnificent Seven]]'' [-WITH ROBOTS-]! And [[LampshadeHanging openly admits to this]], as the characters begin to realize that [[MediumAwareness they're characters in a Stephen King novel!]]
