''[[Drunkard's Walk]] ([http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/dwmain.shtml link])'' by Robert M. Schroeck et. al.
* Recommended by [[User:Fast Eddie]], [[User:Vorticity]]
* ''Synopsis'': Colonel Douglas Sangnoir (codenamed "[[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]") is a metahuman operative for the United Nations ejected from his home universe by enemy action. As he travels from timeline to timeline in search of his homeworld, he encounters universes that are homes to people and situations the reader may recognize from works of fiction, but which are unfamiliar to Doug. Now with its own [[Drunkard's Walk|trope page!]]

* ''Pairings'': Many
* ''Synopsis:'' A sprawling [[Space Opera]] blending literally scoreshundreds of sources into a single, remarkably coherent whole with several thousand years of internal history. Despite its scope, it excels at following the lives of individuals and the effect they have on the people around them. There is no single plot that can be summarized, as the project is composed of scores of individual stories, ranging from short to novel-length.
* ''Comments'': The most ambitious -- and often the most successful -- [[Mega Crossover]] on the web. It's not to everyone's taste, and the earlier installments, especially the four "Core" stories, are often crude (the primary author/editor refers to these as his "Crap Years"), but material written since the late 1990s has been of consistently high quality. In particular, I recommend the "Future Imperfect" sequence entitled "Symphony of the Sword" and its related storylines. Be warned that there are bi, gay, and poly characters scattered throughout these stories -- "Symphony" has a particularly large number of them, given that the cast of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' plays a major part in it -- but since the authors prefer to leave bedroom action off-screen (with one notable exception), it's rare that anything more than PG-rated romance is seen. Be warned, though, that as of late 2008, EPU has produced over ''twenty megabytes'' of stories in ''Undocumented Features'' -- and most of it is addictive.
