* ''anfic/PokeBattles'': The community was tight-knit enough that some of the versions were collaborations between authors. Arguably, the network's policy of one version per unique combination of authors encouraged this--Got an idea that doesn't fit into your current version but you want to do more than one battle for? You need to find a coauthor or two for it that you're not working with elsewhere.

Similarly, OutlivedItsCreator works must be co-authored, because the work must out live their original creator by having a second one. But since it's not specific to literature, its examples also go here.

Written literature is usually a solo endeavour. Which is another way to say, "books usually only have a single author".

The requirement of the truth, to speak of probabilities, creates a new category. Books with more than one author.

This is the index for works in that category.

Works by {{House Pseudonym}}s are a subset of this, as it groups multiple authors of a work, therefore making its works automatically coauthored, so listing them here is redundant and unneeded. But since it's not specific to literature, its examples also go here.

Similarly, OutlivedItsCreator works must be co-authored, because the work must out live their original creator by having a second one. But since it's not specific to literature, its examples also go here.
