* Stephen King's [[The Dark Tower]] series spans across the majority of his prior works.
* The ''[[Harold Shea]]'' series of short stories are about Harold and company visiting various [[The Verse|settings]] taken from mythology and [[Public Domain Character|public domain fiction]], usually one per story.
* Brazilian author [[wikipedia:Monteiro Lobato|Monteiro Lobato]] took this trope to [[Rule of Cool|insane]] [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|levels]] in his kid's books set in the ''Yellow Woodpecker Farm''. The eponymous farm is an interdimensional nexus to, essentially, every fantasy and adventure fiction character ever written, including but not limited to the Greek Gods, [[Sherlock Holmes]], the Neverland people, the ''[[Arabian Nights]]'', the fables from [[Aesop's Fables|Aesop]], [[The Brothers Grimm (Creatorcreator)|Grimm]], [[Hans Christian Andersen|Andersen]], [[The Three Musketeers (novel)|The Three Musketeers]], medieval Knighs etc etc etc ad infinitum. He even managed to throw in some characters copyright laws didn't allow him to. To top if off, characters native to the series' own universe are not few in number.
* [[Jasper Fforde|Jasper Fforde's]] like this trope a lot. Pretty much every Bookworld character in the [[Thursday Next]] series comes from another book. According to the rules of its [[The Verse|universe]] ''every'' book crosses over with it. [[Meta Fiction|Including itself]]. Many of the characters from the Nursery Crimes series [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|are right out of]] [[Nursery Rhyme|nursery rhymes]].
* Peter David wrote two novels where X-Men characters appeared in the Star Trek: The Next Generation universe.

** And then there is ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'', a action/strategy RPG featuring characters from [[Namco]] and [[Capcom]].
** ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' and ''Tekken x Street Fighter'' however are actual fighting games featuring Namco (''[[Tekken]]'') and Capcom (''[[Street Fighter]]'') characters.
** Only related through the VS. series via the appearance of ''one'' Capcom series rather than ''multiple'' but what the heck: ''[[Cross Edge]]'' is a RPG with Compile Heart at the helm of development. Characters from ''[[Darkstalkers]]'', ''[[Ar Tonelicotonelico]]'', ''[[Disgaea]]'', ''Spectral Souls'', ''[[Atelier Series|Atelier Marie]]'' and ''[[Atelier Series|ManaKhemia]]'' show up in this one.
** There's also ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom]]'', which returns to the gameplay of the Marvel series but instead pits the Capcom characters against the works of [[Tatsunoko Productions]] like ''[[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman|Gatchaman]]'' and ''Casshern''. It is basically ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' using Japan's Marvel.
** ''[[Project X Zone]]'' is an upcoming [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'', only now adding [[Sega]] (and technically [[Bandai]] of [[Namco Bandai]], with ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', and ''[[.hack]]'' being Bandai's franchises before the merger with Namco) into the mix.
