Line 9:
* ''A Fox in Tokyo'', which is [[Naruto]] in a Konohagakure that lives under the surface of Soun Tendo's Nerima. Naruto Shinra Namikaze, known as Uzumaki, grew up under constant ANBU guard against those who would have killed him for hosting the Kyuubi. Having been essentially raised by his special-forces guardians, in particular one ANBU Hound with white hair and one odd eye, he graduates the Konoha Ninja Academy to find a familiar face waiting as his sensei.

The stories share the experience of seeing familiar settings [[Alternate Universe Fic|folded, spindled and mutilated]] to make their host canons fit the quasi-[[Grimdark]] universal structure. It's very good writing, and a novel concept carried off well. The author cites ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' as an inspiration, but instead of the [[Author Avatar]] [[Original Character|Original Characters]]s that make up the core cast of UF, he uses the protagonists from whatever work he's fitting into Top Dog at the moment. There are also minor crossovers, references and [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]s to ''everywhere''; a list would be long, but includes at least ''[[Star Wars]], [[Star Trek]], [[Warhammer 40,000]], [[Discworld]], [[Girl Genius]], [[The Matrix]], [[David Weber]], [[Sluggy Freelance]], [[Tenchi Muyo!]], [[Dune]], [[Babylon 5]], [[Asterix]]'', the ''[[Cthulhu Mythos]], [[Sailor Moon]]'', and ''[[Transformers]]'' along with, of course, the three core continuities.
