Soliciting suggestions and info for a Teraverse page on "All The Tropes" - Bob Schroeck - 08-31-2016
Good afternoon, folks. I've working up a page for the Teraverse for the All The Tropes wiki (separate from that for The Secret Return of Alex Mack), and I thought I might throw what I've dashed down so far up here on the forums for suggestions and additions as I write it. I've only barely begun to search through the stories for information on sources, and I haven't even given serious thought to the trope list yet, and I'm hoping there will be stuff that's obvious to other people that I can include. Also, what with the Teraverse writers and readers here in the forum, I'm sure someone has a favorite quote which will work for the top of the article.
Oh, and Batzulger, can I snag that image you created for the Teraverse Wikia to use on ATT?
Anyway, here's the (very fragmentary) start to the page I've got:
{{work}}
{{quote|''"How do I become a hero?"'' More than one person has asked me this, and I think this is a really great question. You do not need superpowers to be a hero. There are everyday heroes all around us... All you need is the morals and the strength to ask the question you already posed.|Terawatt, in Chapter 73 of ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]''}}
''[[The Teraverse]]'' (also called the "Alexverse") is a [[Shared Universe]] [[Fanfic]] setting created essentially by accident by author Diane Castle, with the publication of her [[The Secret World of Alex Mack|''Alex Mack'']] fanfic ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' between 2012 and 2014. The story of how Alex Mack transformed herself from "a kid with powers" to her Earth's counterpart to [[Superman]] inspired a whole raft of other fan writers, who began creating their own stories set in the same world (with Castle's permission).
At its core, the Teraverse started out as a blend of ''[[The Secret World of Alex Mack]]'' and a highly variant version of [[The DCU]] in which counterparts to the characters of the latter are starting to appear (not necessarily in familiar forms) at the turn of the 21st century. As writers joined the project and added their own ideas to the 'Verse, it quickly evolved into a world that only superficially resembled our own before the advent of Terawatt, and which had a secret history of metahumans and weird science dating back centuries or even millennia. Along the way a world that started out with a mostly [[Black and White Morality]] became somewhat more nuanced, but never to the point of excusing its villains and their depravity.
The Teraverse does not yet have a dedicated home page, but a listing of its fics is included on the home page for Castle's intersecting series ''A Brane of Extraordinary Women'', and all of the fics in it can be found on Twisting The Hellmouth. Also, [[Spacebattles.com]] hosts [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/teraverse-discussion-thread.427130/ discussion area for the Teraverse.]] With the number of contributors it possesses and the rate at which stories in its 'Verse are being written, it may come to rival ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' in size and scope in only a few more years.

The Teraverse overlaps with Diane Castle's series ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Series-2585 A Brane of Extraordinary Women]'', which chronicles in its various parts events which take place in several different universes, of which the Teraverse is only one.
There also exists a ''Who's Who in the Tera-Verse'' guide, listing characters, organizations and locations in a format similar to that seen in "official" guides to [[The DCU]] and the [[Marvel Universe]]. It can be found [http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30831/batzulger+Who+s+Who+in+the+Tera-Verse.htm here]. (Warning! Spoilers abound!)
Finally, artwork for the Teraverse can be found on the home page of ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Series-2585 A Brane of Extraordinary Women]''.

* Finally, in an unusual case, characters from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]], [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], [[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' and ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' (among others) briefly appear in a metaphysical realm attached to the Teraverse to {{spoiler|[[Psychopomp|lead Shar into Heaven (or Valhalla, or both]])}}.
Some of these may be thoroughly transformed and not obvious. For instance, the Unversal monsters are more homages than direct imports.
[[In-Universe]] works which have some influence on the events of one or more stories include:
* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''
* ''[[The Flying Nun]]''
* ''[[Kim Possible]]''. Despite this being an In-Universe work, the Teraverse has a dimensional counterpart to Shego in Siobhan Bri, and one to Kim in Trish Chabot.
* ''[[Men in Black]]''. Despite the existnce of a dimensional counterpart to Agent K in the Teraverse, there was still a ''Men in Black'' movie, whose iconography and codenaming conventions the ISERB have appropriated.
* ''[[Mission: Impossible]]''
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''
* ''[[Orca: The Killer Whale]]''
* ''[[The Pink Panther]]''
* ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''
* ''[[Star Trek]]''
{{tropelist}}
In addition to those tropes present in ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'', the stories in the Teraverse make use of the following:
* [[All Myths Are True]]: {{spoiler|Shar is given the choice to go to either the Christian Heaven or Valhalla after she dies. [[Take a Third Option|(She chooses ''both''.)]]}}
** Centuries of weird biosciences are responsible for at least some creatures of myth being real, or at least made real after the fact.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: Very much one of [[The DCU]].
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Deliberately done by the authors to reflect the more advanced tech of the Teraverse. (And [[Word of God|according to one of the authors]], to [[Take That|annoy readers who get too obsessive about that kind of thing]].)
* [[Anime Catholicism]]: Very much averted by ''It's Just A Habit'', which depicts a very real Catholicism.
* [[Bad Habits]]: Averted by Sister Marie of the Order of Sainte Jeanne, who is a genuine nun who happens to have super powers.
* [[Cameo]]: Alex/Terawatt herself makes surprisingly few appearances in these stories, and when she does it's almost always as a supporting character.
* [[Christianity Is Catholic]]: Well, for Sister Marie it is.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab|Giant Enemy Lobsters]]: Larry, Darryl and Darryl, the bus-sized lobsters that appear in Boston, led by the Merman.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: In addition to the products of Nazi weird science, there are also Lord Deathstrike's lizard-men and wolf-men.
** The Merman.
* [[Hollywood Nuns]]: Averted with The Order of Sainte Jeanne.
* [[Lower Deck Episode]]: Several stories shift the focus to the less-prominent members of the SRI, and let us see just how badass they can be on their own.
* [[The Men in Black]]: Field agents of the ISERB have sort of fallen into using the MIB look and feel, lifted from a ''[[Men in Black]]'' movie which appears to have been similar to the one in our time line.
* [[Meta Fic]]: A couple of the stories include or are actually glimpses at [[In-Universe]] fan works, including content posted on "Twisting the X-Men", the counterpart to the series' host site Twisting The Hellmouth in a world where Buffy Summers is a real person but ''not'' a Slayer.
* [[Nuns Are Spooky]]: Although she actively works to avoid this trope, Sister Marie of the Order of Sainte Jeanne does sometimes give off this vibe -- particularly in a moment in ''It's Just A Habit'' where she castigated the mayor of San Diego for trying to politicize her, then flew into a church whose doors opened for her apparently on their own.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Lord Deathstrike's "wolf-men". They don't actually change, physically, but are in all other regards basically Hollywood-style wolfmen.
* [[Psychopomp]]: The girls {{spoiler|whom Shar meets immediately after her death}} in ''Ye Shall Not Die Alone''.
* [[Shared Universe]]
* [[The Verse]]
* [[Weird Science]]: Much of it dating back to [[Those Wacky Nazis]]. The summer 2016 story ''Dirty Science'' is about a US military team set up to recover and protect artifacts of weird science, some of which was created "off the books" as part of [[wikipedia:Operation Paperclip|Operation Paperclip]] immediately after [[World War II]].
** Some of it is even older. There's the work of Hugo Danning in the very early years of the 20th century, and Salazar's alchemical experiments with the radioactive meteorite he found some ''centuries'' earlier.

Under crossovers, there is also:
My Secret Identity
Carrie by Stephen King
Firestarter by Stephen King
The Wild Thornberrys
Congo
Suggested Tropes
Secret Identity Vocal Shift (Alex / Terawatt)
Reasonable Authority Figure (Mostly Jack but there are a few others)
Boxing Lessons for Superman (As Alex and the other super people tend to actually train with combat and other skills)
Honestly, you can just skim the superhero tropes for a starter.

Batzulger -- Thank you! I just went through the Who's-Who and every author note on every story, and I'll cross-references your lists with what I assembled.
Deadpan -- those six works are all part of the original "Secret Return of Alex Mack", which has had its own page for many months now, and are already included in this new article by reference. The tropes... I don't think we have any of them on the "Secret Return" page, I'll have to put them there. Thanks!
I'll update the skeleton above with what I have now just as soon as I save this reply.
EDIT: Deadpan, "Secret Identity Vocal Shift" appears to be a trope created at TVT after the fork. We don't have it.

hysteriumredux and Diane have been informed. hysterium will get his full list up here soonish. Diane thinks it's cool. Also Men in Black was a movie in the Teraverse. It's just that a 'real' organization decided to use its schtick as it was so appropriate to their mission and helps divert attention. Kim Possible is also fictional.
And finally, that's the wrong Sabotage you have listed. That's the 2014 Schwarzenegger movie, not the 1996 Dacascos one which it should be.

- Bob Schroeck - 09-01-2016
Okay, I'll fix all of those right away. And thanks for the further info. However, I've never seen any Kim Possible -- who is Siobhan Bri supposed to be? Kim herself?
Oh, and thanks for touching base with Diane and hysterium.
Such obscure sources... so many of these works are going to be redlinks once it's posted, since they've never been written up on ATT. Even both Sabotages!

- batzulger - 09-01-2016
heh. It feels like all the Teraverse writers take a perverse glee in finding the most obscure x-overs they can. CaptainBoulanger is waiting to be approved on these here forums too.
Siobhan is inspired by Shego, the secondary main antagonist. Trish is the one inspired by Kim. Neither one of them are those characters, as Kim Possible is fictional in the Teraverse.

- CapBoulanger - 09-01-2016
Let's see...
Canon characters I have introduced to the Teraverse:
Harmony Kendall (BTVS/ATS) - IJAH chap. 94
Ed Chigliak (Northern Exposure) - IJAH chap. 117
all other canon characters appearing in IJAH were previously introduced in TSROAM
much of the cast of 'Life's a Beach' is the characters from the film 'Jerry Maguire' (these are actually *not* AU; the movie could have taken place in the Teraverse...)
much of the cast of 'Five Golden Rings' are AU versions of characters from Eric Flint's 'Ring of Fire' series novels
I am preparing a list of the works I have cited as remaining fictional; it is an extremely long list, as the song titles used as chapter titles in IJAH are being chosen by Marie herself (and thus are in-universe). In many cases, they are cited only due to Marie having used one or more tracks from their soundtrack for chapter titles, but if the soundtrack exists, the movie must, right?
At present, having only skimmed one-third of IJAH, the list has 27 entries, including one novel, two television shows, 19 standalone movies, and 5 movie series. (The series are: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Sister Act, and The Trouble with Angels/Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows)
- robkelk - 09-01-2016
Asking as somebody who hadn't heard of this shared-world before this thread...
Where do I start reading? What should I read to get the "important" events?
(And the answers to these should go on the wiki page, too.)

- CapBoulanger - 09-01-2016
Start with Diane's stories; in chrono order, it would be the Hermione story, then League of Extraordinary Women, then TSROAM... all the other authors' stories branch from TSROAM.
Alternatively, you could start with TSROAM.
My IJAH, for example, runs concurrently with roughly chapters 14-110 of TSROAM, and has direct quotes from chap. 14, 73, and 80-81. (off the top of my head)
- Bob Schroeck - 09-01-2016
Everybody who was waiting for approval now has it.
Batzulger, thanks -- I've been describing people like Bri or Kevin "Agent K" whatshisname as "dimensional counterparts", if that's okay with folks.
Rob, the relevant links are:
* http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=30822]Hermione Granger and the Boy Who Lived
* http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=26436]The League of Extraordinary Women
* http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=28614]The Secret Return of Alex Mack
You can then use the list in the article skeleton above to read everything else in the order of its publication. This is critical for some storylines, as there are a couple of subseries within the Teraverse.
As far as exactly where to start, I started with League, then went to Secret Return when Diane completed it. I have yet to start Hermione, although it's in my Kindle waiting for me to get to it.
EDIT: And Rob, if you haven't already looked at the page for Secret Return on ATT, stay away from it. Lots of spoilers.

- Bob Schroeck - 09-01-2016
Okay, after going through the stuff hysteriumredux sent me in email, let me clarify a little bit what I consider qualifies as a source:
If it's already a source for The Secret Return of Alex Mack, I don't want to list it here unless it has a completely new and different contribution that doesn't appear there.
Likewise, existing characters from Secret Return don't need to be documented. Also characters from The Secret World of Alex Mack who didn't appear in Secret Return but have shown up in later works. They're already subsumed under the contribution of Secret Return to the Teraverse.
Also and especially, any and all DC Universe material is similarly assumed, because of the construction of the Teraverse. No need to document every character or name from DC.
If it exists in-universe, it probably isn't a source. If a character gets an alias from a work, that work isn't a source (although it may count as an in-universe work that affects the plot).
I do want to list in-universe works that have an effect on the story. Please identify them as such, or list them separately. (For instance, hysterium has an orangutan named "Zaius" and reasonably lists "Planet of the Apes" as a source -- but he doesn't tell me if Zaius is the Zaius native to the Teraverse, or an ordinary orangutan named for a character in a movie.)
You don't need to list real and/or historical personages. I'm only tracking fictional works that contribute to the 'verse.
I hope this actually makes things easier for anyone else who has yet to work up a list.

My first story, http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30513/ba ... +Laugh.htm starts roughly about at Chapter 175 of TSRoAM and doesn't use much of anything but the world building concepts up to that point. My second one, And I Thought I was Crazy, ends at Chapter 219 and it's last chapter holds a huge spoiler fro TSRoAM Chapter 219 and further. All the rest basically follow each other and overlap slightly.

I've elmiinated all TSRoAM, BZ and real-life characters, and any movie/literary references that don't significantly impact the TeraVerse (e.g. 'Space Cops' or "West Side Story'). Not sure how to class "Oddjob' or 'Dread Pirate Roberts', as they do impact significantly, so you'll have to make the call.

-------------------
New Canon Characters Used:
It's Just A Habit contains AU versions of:
- Harmony Kendall (BTVS/ATS) - chap. 94
- Ed Chigliak (Northern Exposure) - chap. 117
(all other characters are original, real/historical, or were previously mentioned in TSROAM).
Life's A Beach
- most of the supporting cast is made up of the characters from 'Jerry Maguire'. (These may actually not be AU.) The story takes place several years after the events depicted in the film.
Five Golden Rings
- most of the characters are AU versions of characters from Eric Flint's 'Ring of Fire' universe novels and short stories ('1632', '1633', etcetera). The Ring of Fire event did not occur in the Teraverse. The placesetting and characters in the books, however, do exist, and are thus AU from the scheduled date forward. (The story itself is taking place approximately five to six years later.)

The setting, characters, and storyline of the game are remarkably similar (adjusting for format) to the 'Ring of Fire' novel series in our own universe (which does not exist in the Teraverse and, in fact, is the basis for the characters in FGR who are themselves responsible for creating and marketing this game).

Wow. Thanks, Cap.
Everyone's done so much work, much more than I had intended, and I'm grateful. Now I just need to collate it all, and actually write the article.
EDIT: Oh, yeah, meant to ask the forums at large: Does anyone have a favorite quote from a Teraverse story to use as an epigraph on the start of the article? I've been wracking my brains for something reasonably emblematic of the 'verse as a whole and failing.

“How do I become a hero?” More than one person has asked me this, and I think this is a really great question. You do not need superpowers to be a hero. There are everyday heroes all around us... All you need is the morals and the strength to ask the question you already posed.
