Kelly Mc CulloughMcCullough's series of "science fantasy" novels follows [[Ravirn]], an immortal demigod descended from one of the Fates, through his misadventures in a Greek Mythology-meets-magical-Internet multiverse. Along with his sarcastic webgoblin Melchior and his love interest Cerice, Ravirn is nearly constantly trying to escape some kind of death sentence that he brought about by cheesing off one or more members of the Greek pantheon.
 
Books in the series:
Line 9:
* ''SpellCrash''
 
{{tropelist}}
----
Provides examples of:
* {{spoiler|1=[[A God Am I]]: Occurs near the end of SpellCrash}}
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: Played with by Fenris. When we first see him, he's in the guise of a normal dog on a leash. His true form is about the size of a draft horse.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Subverted. It's very much the case in some of the myths that form the source material; some of Ravirn's adventures involve breaking the status quo, as in {{spoiler|freeing Persephone from Hades and removing the sword from Fenris' jaw}}. It's even lampshaded in a threat from Ravirn to Lachesis: that the Raven has already wreaked several major and lasting changes to the Greek multiverse, and he is quite possibly capable of taking down Fate forever.
* [[Take That]]: In Webmage, it is revealed that Eris, the Goddess of Discord uses a Mac, while the houses of Fate all apparently use Windows. Though later, she seems to use some kind of virtual machine program to allow Ravirn to {{spoiler|code Orion, the spell meant to ruin Puppeteer}} using an interface more familiar to him.
{{quote| Ravirn: "I can see the commercials now: 'The Goddess of Discord uses a Mac. Why don't you?'"}}
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: {{spoiler|Persephone's virus!Sharra}} bids fair to destroy the mweb which notes the worlds' locations relative to each other, basically dissolving the multiverse.
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: {{spoiler|When Ravirn has the name Raven bestowed upon him, all of his trickster traits come to the foreground. After all, Raven is a minor chaos power. It even affects his behavior and judgement, making him less cautious.}}
