Classification
As with the alternative history article, a major task is the classification of subcategories and the drawing of lines between parallel universe fiction and closely related but separate subgenres. For instance, is the Michael Crichton novel really cross-time fiction or a conventional time travel tale? Is Piercy's "A Woman Out of Time" really cross-time fiction when it portrays alternate possible futures only one of which will end up actually existing depending on the heroine's actions in the here and now? Lots of fun (or pro-fun[d]?) questions to be answered here. Excuse the bad pun. -- dking, 1 march 06

ATTENTION, new Article: List of fiction employing parallel universes
Half of this article was taken up by a list, so I moved the list to its own article: List of fiction employing parallel universes
MANY UNIVERSES REALLY EXIST.
An article whose link is given below removes confusions about existence of parallel universes.

Clifford Simak "Ring Around the Sun."
Someone who knows the Simak story should include it.

Left 4 Dead 2 example is really sloppy
In the Examples section, the Left 4 Dead 2 bullet point is sloppy to the point of not being able to understand it. (I can't fix it because I don't understand it and have never heard of Left 4 Dead 2 before.) 209.237.105.194 (talk) 18:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
quantism
- In The Number of the Beast, Heinlein quantizes that the many parallel, fictional universes - in terms of works of fiction.
This usage of quantize is new to me. What, if anything, does it mean? (The sentence was more coherent but equally puzzling before the last change.) —Tamfang (talk) 04:01, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
