    While extended Fictons are less common than in Comic Books, there are a few series (usually by a single author) that make up a common 'Verse:

    • Air Force Blues presumably shares the same universe as Box D Blues and Air Force Toons, the former a webcomic, the latter a newspaper comic, both done by the same author. While Air Force Blues follows a group of Air Force pilots stationed in Alaska, Box D Blues and Air Force Toons both follow enlisted airmen stationed at different bases.
    • Bobbinsverse: Bobbins, Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery. Crossovers: Goats, Superosity.
    • Crew Dogs, as mentioned above, shared a universe with Air Force Blues.
    • Cyantia: Satin & Silk, Campus Safari, No Angel, Shivae!, Akaelae
    • Girlyverse: Cutewendy, itself a variation on earlier comic Wendy, segues into Girly, which also features Wendy characters. Doctor Voluptua apparently takes place in the same world.
    • Gonter Verse: Pretty much everything David Gonterman has ever made, depending on his mood.
    • Furryverse: A lot of furry webcomics share characters; the character Zig Zag, most famous in her role in Sabrina Online, gets around.
    • Jenniverse: Unicorn Jelly, Pastel Defender Heliotrope, To Save Her
    • Megageekverse: Megatokyo and Applegeeks. A noted crossover between two authors.
    • Furthermore, Apple Geeks has done several crossovers with Ctrl+Alt+Del, but Ctrl+Alt+Del hasn't appeared in any Megatokyo comics.
    • ND Unlimited: Unlike Minerva, Namir Deiter, You Say It First. The non-anthropomorphic series by Terrence and Isabel Marks (Spare Parts, Undoubtedly Kawaii, The Shokora Diaries, Girichoko's Story) are fictional stories in that universe, and vice versa.
    • Narboniverse: Shaenon Garrity's Narbonic, Li'l Mell, Skin Horse.
    • Overside: All of Evan Dahm's comics are set here--Rice Boy, Order of Tales, Vattu, and a number of short stories.
    • Roomieverse: CRFH, UC Rats, the comic series version of Tangents (there were several 'Maritza's Minions' series, most of which lasted less than a year)
    • Shmorkyverse: Living In Greytown, Lizard (as much as the author would like us to forget these)
    • Somethingverse: Something*Positive / Something Positive 1938 / Midnight Macabre, Queen of Wands / Punch 'an Pie, Girls with Slingshots, Penny and Aggie, Cool Cat Studio, Sketchies, and possibly, by extension, Alternate Universe versions of the Fans, Clan of the Cats, Questionable Content, CRFH, and the inhabitants of the Walky Verse and Melonpool. There's a possible case for including Alternate Universe Sluggy Freelance characters as well. One of the few shared worlds by two or more authors.
      • This may be growing, like a strange and beautiful Myth Arc, to incorporate several of these other Verses into one Gestalt Webcomic verse.
      • Argumentatively, could be a larger Topatocoverse (after the company), with the Wiguverse, Xkcd, Dresden Codak, and even Little Gamers thrown in for good measure.
    • Walky Verse: Roomies, It's Walky!, Shortpacked, Joyce and Walky!. Crossovers: Melonpool, Fans.
      • Don't forget Questionable Content, when the Shortpacked! staff visited "Coffee of Doom", see (here) and (here), also done in a more subtle way (here)
        • Which is really weird, considering QC takes place in Massachusetts and Shortpacked is in San Francisco. That's a long way to go for coffee (and snark).
      • And Shortpacked! has joined the Something*Positive/Girls with Slingshots crossover, with Leslie adopting one of Sprinkles and Choo-Choo Bear's boneless mutant kittens.
      • And now it's crossing with Multiplex.
      • Dumbing Of Age is an Alternate Continuity of Walkyverse characters, without the alien stuff. Life Unembellished, as it were. (If it crosses over with just about any of the strips mentioned in the five preceding paragraphs, we could have some sort of multiverse-ending continuity snarl. ...Which might be fun to watch!...)
    • Wotchiverse: The Wotch, Cheer!, Triquetra Cats (arguably Zebra Girl, Accidental Centaurs and Abstract Gender as well, but most emphatically not El Goonish Shive, no matter how much the fans of both bitch about it.)
      • El Goonish Shive does take place in a multiverse however; its just that the entire multiverse exists within the canon of the one webcomic instead of being shared with other webcomics. Crossovers do take place in the guest comics though.
    • Wiguverse: When I Grow Up, Wigu, Wigu Adventures. Crossovers: Overcompensating.
    • Ultima-Java: Creative Media originally had a Multiverse in place, but has since January 2010, the concept has been removed, compressing all it's alternate coninuities into the UJ-verse. However Ultima-Java still hosts the pre-reboot continuity comic, that has been dubbed Universe 2 in reference to the DC Golden Age originally taking place on Earth 2. Ultima-Java also hosts other comics, that do not take place within the UJ-verse.
    • The webcomic hosting site Drunk Duck has a peculiar version of this, in that all webcomics hosted on the site apparently share a universe, as demonstrated by the myriad crossovers reminiscent of Marvel. And for some reason, the authors of the comics are included in the universe.
      • Perhaps not every one, but definitely most of the superhero comics.
    • Rival webcomic hosting site Comic Genesis has been known to randomly generate "Jams" on its forums. These Jams feature forum regulars as the characters, and generally consist of one of the forumites posting a part of the "story" (which rarely proves consistent or understandable), followed by a different forumite, and so on and so forth. The process is very casual and has produced a good portion of the in-jokes of the forums there. The Jams are chronicled (occasionally) at http://spacejams.comicgenesis.com/
    • The recent Crossover Wars linked a large number of otherwise entirely unrelated webcomics together. How much impact on functioning Canon the Wars had varies from comic to comic, however, so they can be considered part of the same multiverse only in the throes of WMG.
      • Then you have the spinoff The Crossoverlord which has tons of cameos from other webcomics all over the place. The comic's website even has a list of separate realities connecting various comics together (link). Like Crossover Wars, how the affect the various comics' canons varies.
    • The Vefurrin and HERO universe—the main character of the former, Ganymar, appears as a significant side character in the latter, and Word of God says that the two tales indeed take place in the same universe. Of course, given the seemingly strange and shifting nature of said universe, that really wouldn't be much of a stretch in any case.
    • The Dieselverse: R. Stevens' Diesel Sweeties and Lolbots. However, Word of God (via e-mail correspondance) considers the latter strip's characters to either be younger, or the strip itself to be Alternate Continuity. (Also, the strips' Red Robot uses the same chassis as Exploding Dog's Red Robot).
    • The Jet Dream Universe: The "TG Comics" titles Jet Dream, It's Cookie!, and My Jet Dream Romance take place in the same universe and share the same fictional publisher.
    • The Shineverse comprises both the main comic and its self-contained spinoff The Eagle of Hermes.
    • Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks already inhabit a shared universe, given the latter is a Spin-Off of the former. But then an Eerie Cuties strip did cross over with Paranormal Mystery Squad, which already has a shared universe with Vampire Cheerleaders and Aoi House - whether this crossover can be considered canon is probably WMG, but nevertheless the connection is there. And the themes of both universes seem to match, which simply adds credibility for a single shared universe...
