Every Work of Fiction is True in Another Universe

Or more accurately, multiverse. For every work of fiction that is created, a complete multiverse exists where the events of the story are true. Every multiverse has one and only one universe each selected to appear as the main story of an original work of fiction in every other multiverse, and the only way to unearth all the literal Alternate Universes is through What If? stories. This would explain the complex network of Shout Outs that pervades modern fiction. Though, if you think about it, this also makes Trapped in TV Land, Refugee from TV Land, and Real-World Episode the same trope under different names. Crossovers share the same multiverse.

Which brings up the question: what are plot holes? "Hiccups" in the fabric of that world's reality?

This would also explain why some of the worlds on Sliders seemed to be ripped straight from films and other forms of media, they were actually in those worlds, or poorly written fan-fic versions of them at least... Or do fan-fics actually get their own universes?

On the last question, I like to assume that yes, yes they do. Fanfics are still fiction after all. And good point on the Plot Holes, maybe some weird thing in one universe can cause weird inconsistencies in another or something. I dunno, it's not like I know every single detail of the multiverse.

The fact that fan-fics get their own universes scares me. I'd hate to drop into a MLP fanfic universe... *shudders*

So what you're saying is that all the fictional universes (lit, tv, etc.) are real, just shown through 'windows' such as the tv and books? Freaky... But cool!

Assuming this, our imagination must be some kind of power that lets us watch what's happening in other universes without actually being there. The TV Shows, books, games, etc. are the ways we subconsciously found to show other people what we see in these universes, since there's an infinity of universes and one cannot reach all of them alone, which also justifies why we human beings value works of fiction so much: It's our joint effort to see, compreend, and learn from all the infinite existance where we live in.

...True dat. It has to be. _{Speaking of which, agh why is it that every time I try to share an alternate universe of an already existing universe I end up procrastinating on the fanfic and no one else gets to see it? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!? ARCEUS DAMNIT WHOEVER PLACED A RESTRAINING BOLT ON ME GET IT THE FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW!}

Yeah pretty much.

Or any Crapsack World, for that matter.

The way I see it is that ther is only one multiverse containing every single possibility including most works of fiction and writing fiction dosen't let you look through some sort of window it's more of a broken clock being right twice a day thing. Also ( this is where it can get confusing) traveling to another crapsack dimension and making better dosent actually do anything it just creates variations of what could of happened aswell as one where you never showed up and also creates a myraid of variants of your home universe.

Strangely enough I actually understood the latter part of that and not the first part (I'd already thought of the second—no, actually I'd already thought of that and just didn't feel like bringing it up).

The first part is basically the same qs the general idea except it basicaly allows universes that are a mix of say , DC comics and power rangers because everything shares the same multiverse

Also I felt pretty proud of myself for that last part , I explained it a lot better than I thought I could.

Technically crossovers also have their own multiverse, I never said they didn't in the OP.

What i mean is the multiverses are all conected in a big extradimensional web. Sortof eliminating the idea of isolated multiverses.

Uhh I think I need a diagram or something, I think I might get what you're saying but I'm not sure :/

You've probably got it and I can't give you a diagram, partially Cause it would require more than 3 dimensions, and partially Cause I can't draw worth a shite

Riiiiight... ._______.

_{Wait aren't you the guy from Tropers are the Result of a Genetic Experiment?}

Yep , and you're the girl from it. Do try to keep up

Why yes. Yes I am.

Hmm, maybe if we can examine the multiverse more clearly we might be able to figure out what we need to do here, how we were created, what to do about them or whatever...

-GASP- crossing threads. Woman you cray-cray

Don't examine the multiverse nothing good ever comes of it

You ever consider using the edit button? Would be a lot faster.

I couldn't help it, I just had to. XDDDDD

ORLY? Prove it.

I thought about it but then I was all" fuck that shit" so I decided otherwise

...Ok then. XDD

Look trust me nothing good comes of multiversal stuff

Really? Why, then?

Because you can't actually change anything , all you get i'd a total mind screw
