** [[Literature/BrightFallsMysteries Jane Doe]], [[Literature/AgentG Agent G]], and [[Literature/LucifersStar Cassius Mass]] all show up in the multiversal tournament of ''Literature/TheTournamentOfSupervillainy'' with the first two becoming regular cast members.
*** Later, the protagonists of ''Literature/CthulhuArmageddon'' show up for the HollowEarth in ''Literature/TheFutureOfSupervillainy'' where the book serves as a FullyAbsorbedFinale.
*** Happens again in ''Literature/TheHorrorOfSupervillainy'' when William and Nancy from ''Literature/PsychoKillersInLove'' appear.
** Happened with the Literature/RedRoom trilogy when it was written in as a prequel to the Literature/UnitedStatesOfMonsters universe despite originally having been a separate urban fantasy group.
* ComicBooksAreReal: All of his various books are fictional media properties in other universes, which leads to the odd situation of Gary and other characters knowing characters from reading their books or watching their movies.


Added DiffLines:

* TheMultiverse: All of his fiction shares one and started having characters jump from one reality to another. Mostly this is restricted to his comic book universe but is referenced in their home books.
