The Stephen King-verse has the interconnected characters appearing briefly in each other's stories thing going, too.
Also, Faulkner, of course.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Also, Faulkner, of course.
And one odd, glancing mention in Peter Straub's Floating Dragon, of one of the characters from Ghost Story.

There's also an amusing bit in Christopher Pike's Remember Me where one of the characters writes a short story that's essentially identical to The Eternal Enemy.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Can I say that I love how it always comes back to Christopher Pike?
Doesn't another Pike book have a character actually mentioning Fall into Darkness, as well?

Hee hee. Glad to see another Pike fan.

Hm, I don't remember that one. But I haven't read the books in years. I just read Remember Me again, which is why that one stuck out.
Another one is how Tolkien's The Two Towers has some cameos by characters in The Fellowship of the Ring.

OK, now I know I'm messing up my titles, but I think the girl in Fall Into Darkness (as long as thats the one where the girl went over the cliff) referenced the one where the girl faked her death on the boat.
White-fonted in case someone is still making their way through the opus-es (what is the plural for opus? Opi?) of Christopher Pike. You never know.

Hey. New board.
Another one is how Tolkien's The Two Towers has some cameos by characters in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Also? The Hobbit. One might think these books are all related or something.
(BWAH!)

So you're saying they have a...connection?

Straub also tied a bunch of characters together in the "blue rose" novels (and I think there was a novella there that I haven't read yet). It wasn't a series per se, but knowing who was who definitely added resonance.
