Strictly speaking, the following are not ''all'' {{shout out}}s; some are actually minor sources that just end up ''acting'' like shoutouts. Feel free to correct or add anything that previous contributors have overlooked, because there's ''always'' going to be something that previous contributors have overlooked. This list is all but ''guaranteed'' to ''not'' be complete and exhaustive. No one, not even the creators, is sure how many sources have contributed to the setting over the years. (For a quick idea of how densely a single ''UF'' story can be packed with references and sources, check out [[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=2&forum=DCForumID19&viewmode=threaded this thread]] on the EPU Forums. This is, it should be noted, for one of the ''shorter'' pieces. Also check out the quote at the top of the main page, which packs ''seven'' references into a single InTheNameOfTheMoon speech.)
