[OOC][SI][Multi-Xover] Calling All Writers - There's Nothing Better

Hmmmmm...

In Toradora!, this is canon: while complaining about all of the things that make the transfer student so much more perfect than her, Taiga says that Ami has the same name as Sailor Mercury.

I would expect that, the closer a universe is to a "slice of life" story, the more likely it is to have the same media that our universe has.

In my self-insert's case, it's an interesting question. The Railgun girls (excepting possibly Saten-san) don't have time to read manga, but Sailor Moon is famous enough that they should at least have heard of the story. Going the other way, the Certain Magical Index and Certain Scientific Railgun stories didn't exist when Sailor Moon was written.

Not all worlds have to have the same fiction.  Maybe in the Railgun world Naoko Takeuchi never became a successful mangaka(sp?)  Maybe in one of these other worlds, what is a minor/obscure manga/anime to us, is a well known/very popular title to some of your guests. 

This could be supported by canon - Mikoto is a fan of a frog character that most definitely is not Sgt. Frog, and there's a plush figure of another not-Sgt. Frog frog character seen in the Index/Railgun universe.

(And, yes, "mangaka" is the usual romanization.)
