Line 15:
* ''The'' example—the ''ultimate'' example—is the work known as ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', created by [[Eyrie Productions Unlimited]]. More or less continually written since the early 1990s by a dedicated creative team, running into many many megabytes of stories, ''UF'' blends together so many sources that ''no one'' has a definitive count of them, and has successfully combined them all into a single galaxy-spanning space opera epic with an internal history of thousands of years. The earlier works are admittedly crude—the first installment was intended as a joking "we could do something like this" example meant to be discarded when the "real" writing began—but ''UF'' (and other EPU) stories since the middle to late 1990s have all been of exceptional quality and workmanship.
** Also by the fine folks at EPU, ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'' starts off looking like just an ambitious [[Alternate Universe Fic]] for ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', but before long it becomes clear that this is a Mega Crossover world involving at least a dozen sources besides ''NGE'', and that it only tangentially ''resembles'' [[Canon]] ''Evangelion''. Interesting to note, that much as ''Evangelion'' was a [[Deconstruction]], almost an assault on the tropes of [[Humongous Mecha]], ''Neon Exodus Evangelion'' is an assault on what the authors felt was the meaningless nihilism of the original, and the fic can be somewhat hard to warm to.
* A relatively recent (as of 2017) but upcoming challenger to ''Undocumented Features'' first place position is ''[[The Teraverse]]'', a setting built on an odd blend of ''[[The Secret World of Alex Mack]]'' and [[DC Comics]], with somewhere between one and two hundred other works contributing to the mix. A year after the end of ''The Secret World'', Alex Mack is drawn into an interdimensional crisis, and upon her return decides to take on a formal superhero persona -- the first in her version of Earth. When she does, it's almost as though it were a signal for secret wars, ancient conspiracies, and even more people with powers to appear from the shadows where they had lurked up to then.
* ''[[A Game of Gods]]'' involves a group of mysterious beings kidnapping a host of beings from across the multiverse and throwing them into strange and perilous situations. The main cast of characters are diverse, and many of the worlds that the characters visit are drawn from other works of fiction.
* ''[[Journey Through the Multiverse (Roleplay)|Journey Through the Multiverse]]'' takes the multiverse-hopping premise from [[Kamen Rider Decade]] and [[Kingdom Hearts]] and plays it with a huge multiversal war for power, with multiple factions taking part in the war.
