#0, Who is fiction within UF?
Posted by trigger on May-06-09 at 01:01 AM
This is a bit of a thought experiment/game for the folks who are a tad rabid about all things UF. Think of it as an online scav hunt.

So the new story (thanks Geoff!!) on the Forum had me wondering about who remains fictional within the UF universe.

For example Sabertooth is "real" but Peter Wimsey is "fictional" - right? And we know this because Sabertooth walks and talks, while Devlin Carter uses Wimsey as a model of blithering idiot.

We know that Corwin Ravenhair is real, but Corwin of Amber is not because CR is named after the character (see SOS).

So what else in UF is "fictional" that might have otherwise been pretty good source material? To keep it real, let's only use materials that appear in UF as fictional - don't go making stuff up!

And don't reference shows/music/writing that appears in UF as biography or entertainment - that means you cannot cite Agent A-ko because in UF she has a tv show that's vaguely based on her life. It's got to be something that even in the UF remains fictional (i.e. not based on people living or dead in UF).

Off the top of my head:

(1) Anything from Amber that isn't Julian (from SOS)
(2) Zorro (from the ACROSS episode when the reports burst in on Agent A in SOS)
(3) The Peter Wimsey Novels by DL Sayers (SOS)
(4) Muj'a bortaS (aka Battlecruiser Vengance, created by John Ford, from SOS)
(5) The Hornblower novels (SOS)
(6) Bugs Bunny (SOS)
(7) The Princess Bride (SOS)

any others?
