Rules of the topic:
1)Treat the source materials with respect.
2)Nothing is actually canon, so just have fun with it and relax a bit.
3)If you got an old or particularly large source topic, be a pal and show everyone where to look.
This is a worldbuilding topic dedicated to putting together a setting that uses as many of our stories as we can squeeze in. Get them all in there.
Actual roleplaying will likely be at a low, so don't feel like you need to write well or shown some dedication to this topic. It's all for fun, so if you have an idea just mention it. Let's get some DEEPEST LORE!

Okay, putting a little thought into it, I submit my first draft for a 8 day, 4 week, 16 month calender. The eigth day is tenatively referred to as "Penday", and the months are based on the order of irckun's regular users by appearance on the original user notes. Some of them are kinda weak so if any could be better mention it.
Keeby: Greenwall
Scraggy: Slacks
Koopario: Noko
Asphoxia: Celes
Mouser: Bomba
Lenrap: Frantics
Oshalite: Larimar
Planetbox: Cronian
Trebletech: Bass
Shuckle: Marmalade
Villerar: Vaudeville
Spindow: Revolver
Monarch: Empire
Kiptoke: Altime
Minimii: Minuet
Anagalmeshu: Culcin

Compiling the cyoas I know of to go over for material. Planet has mentioned before that he archived a lot of this stuff already, so I'll be sure to swap out any links with something more permanent if he gets them to me. We ought to also include any RP's we've done as well I feel, but knowing the crowd we have that may not be completely possible. |

Geez I don't even remember that Project Fusion thingAlso, I think you should add Billbert the Fish's Quest for Redemption to the list. Anyway, if you want those more permanent links, they're on The Wayback Machine. Just time in www.brawlintyefamily.keenspot.com/forums into the top bar. You'd have to navigate manually to the CYOAs though. I can try to find a few links when I'm not on a phone. |

Wow we've got a lot of stuff here. This'll be interesting to work with.
I think that A Musical Adventure might as well be added to the list as well. For how short and lingering-deathy it all was, there were some good ideas in there that I had meant to build on.

Speaking of which, we should probably get Anagalmeshshu's help for some of his CYOAs that didn't last longer than a page.

Okay. I think I dug up the last of the material from bitf and kun.
I'll definitely be updating it with planet's saved archives, but in the meantime let's start pouring over the resources. Here's where it gets fun as we look through the stories and find the characters, areas, items, and events and how they work together.
From here go ahead and spitball whatever idea you have. Does this character seem like they'd know this one? Was that underground fightclub happening at the same time as the nuke deal was falling apart? Don't even feel you need to use this material, if you have an original idea or new blatant ripoff then bring it up.

Peewee the Dinosaur is the first comic I took a look at. From the short comic strip Scoli produced, we learn that Peewee has talents in being a clown, a plumber, and being on fire. He exists with the modern era of whatever realm he inhabits by virtue of indoor plumbing, but he seems to also have no problem crossing over to other worlds.
Much like Chicken Boo or Sir Bearington, Peewee could make for an excellent historical mimic throughout the ages of the crossoverse. By repeatedly assuming the identities and professions of others until the inevitable realization that the friendly and charismatic fellow that has grown to be near and dear in everyone's hearts is in fact shockingly a mighty terrible lizard could make for some interesting shenanigans. I can already see the notion of a political frontrunner in Kip's Ahcyoas surrounded by rumors of being a lizard person from the tabloids.

Wait I just thought of something.
Who is a person from someone's CYOA who uses magic controlled by a musical instrument? Bill T. Dunban, AKA The Fermata.
Who is ANOTHER person from someone's CYOA who uses magic controlled by a musical instrument. Whoever the main character in Dimitri's CYOA was.
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?
Also, I feel like all of the Lenrapian "play as yourself" CYOAs should be part of the same area somehow... Though I'm not sure how my #kun thing in neverending would fit into that...

They should totally make a band together!
We'll need to go over everything to be sure, I don't see why, unless somebody clearly died for real along the way of one cyoa that they can't do that. Given though that neverending had clear mention of a chatroom as a physical space, we'll need to decide whether or not that adventure in particular 'actually' happened or not in the setting or if it was internet shenanigans.
If the later I would vote on making it part of the pokemon realm, the internet being there makes a lot of sense.

You know, that's an interesting similarity there. Perhaps there could be a bit of that duel-world magicing I played with going on for mister Fermata. Or not, I dunno. Also, clearly,the #kun group is either a famous band of world-hopping explorers, subjects in a matrix-style computer simulation that continuously drops them into fantastical situations as some sort of research/training, or were abducted by Chronos Krate or some similar planetboxian fellow for the #kun in Neverending thing. |

I don't have any problem with every mystical system coinciding together, even the ones that would take the same spot or conflict with each other on principle.
We should actually consider how such things would interact if they collide.

That brings up another question. How would Chronos Krate fit into this? Because obviously, he's basically just the guy who breaks natural laws so that more bizarre things can happen and reports activities of the main characters of the CYOA, but his character design makes it's pretty clear through his character design that he's associated with the mighty Planetbox. Do other author's have similar things, or is the mighty Planetbox the only one who bothers to organize stories in this way?
Speaking of which, where would author figures even be? Are they in another dimension that's somehow connected to the crossoverse? Because it's pretty unlikely that they would actually reside there, at least in the mighty Planetbox's case.

We can have a version of them representing in the crossoverse, perhaps up to and including a council of all the characters that revolve on a world bending magnitude of power.
If we were to decide immediately the dream realm seems like an easy place to choose. But we could also employ a location that solely doesn't exist in any realm so we don't have situations like Touhou where everyone has a demigod for a neighbor if that'd work better. But as far as Chronos goes there shouldn't be any problem or special exceptions made for him as far as reality warpers go, aside from a notiom that there could be other reality warpers he would need to mind to keep anyone from getting out of hand.

I think if author inserts are a thing it would easily explain how more ridiculous and unrealistic plot line things could happen in the dimension as more standard realistic stuff.
Also, the #kun Forums Hunger Games should definitely be a part of this somehow.

Never mind those two RPs I hosted on the BitForums they were never approved, never happened, and as much as I'd love to reboot the good one, nope never nuh-uh clear it.
Hero's Adventure and Ballad can certainly be canon in some way shape or form. Maybe we lost Max and Trucy along the way and we can lowkey try to find them again.
I dunno about Dekora.
Oralcean Oddessy is by no means a part of this huge mashup, but there are ways to get to it. So yeah keep it listed why not.
I agree with the Hunger Games bit from Planet.
What I usually like to think is that authors only exist in the real world--our world. Using our writing skills, we make avatars for ourselves that highly surpass any of the other things we create in fiction in most aspects, and then we follow those avatars through their adventures. They have their own memories that exist alongside the author's from time to time, but it's more of a way to individualize the author from their avatar and enable them to do things that the author normally wouldn't dare to and maybe hesitate on some of the things they would. Narrators can be chosen by both, assuming existing lore doesn't conflict with the process, and are usually just there to keep the avatar from writing every single word of narrative. However, altering the things they narrate is often impossible.
TL;DR Make some avatars stick our memories in them and then let them do whatever they will. Add assistant narrators so the avatars can be lazy while still letting your events come to pass, and yeah.

I look forward to your explanation for the existence of 7 alternate Earths, many of which are now irradiated and destroyed. Furthermore, all of which are in different time periods, and one of them is in the future. "Airship Leviathan" hasn't even gotten past the introductory post and contains a whole different world... Also, "Postcards From Above" is not a CYOA. I believe it was my very, very short-lived webcomic series.
Edit: huh, 42 posts. Don't panic, everyone. So long and thanks for all the fish. Oh no, not again. I wonder if it'll be friends with me?
Edit 2: If you want, I'll write up some terribly convoluted and disjointed explanation for the existence of 7 alternate Earths... or I could actually update the AHCYOA...

Running with how nukes work in Neverending, with them simply vaporizing the target. I haven't gotten into the events of any AHCYOA yet but if we apply that tweak to them then any mutually assured destruction that sets off in one storyline could eventually lead to the reconstruction of the next cyoa in the line, or timeline since the future would need to be the last cyoa on the stack regardless of order.

I think that's the best solution. There's actually an interesting concept in Drake's Equation where basically, in order to estimate the amount of civilizations in the universe, you have to take into account the average lifespan of a technologically-competent civilization, the implication being that the civilization will eventually destroy itself or be forced to leave their home. It could be along the same lines for the various Earths, they just always take the more violent option.

Interesting potential idea as well, does a nuke destroy the affected area on disintergration, or does it remove the area without a trace?

Current list of Muses, The Nine Absolute Authorities of Crossoverse, Actual Contextual Godmodders.
Calliope (epic poetry - SableXeno)
Clio (history - Kiptoke)
Euterpe (lyric poetry - Asphoxia)
Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry - Toad)
Melpomene (tragedy - Spindow)
Terpsichore (dance - Lenrap)
Erato (love poetry - Dimitri)
Polyhymnia (sacred poetry - Koopario)
Urania (astronomy - Planetbox)
If we need to adjust them or a better candidate arises we can bring that to discussion, but for now these will be the author avatars in setting. As they are literally the users personality, they will be the only characters explicitly off limits without approval, Though I do forward the notion of asking Treble to submit a lore description for each muse to work into the setting, something akin to the pieces he did for posters in his CYOA "The Author", fittingly enough.

Fun answer is Cyborg Cat Boogaloo. Real answer was I wanted to give him a spot but slots were short so Dancing was funny.
