So I remember chit-chatting with someone (I've forgotten who and I'm too lazy to go back through plurk I'm sorry - I SHALL CREDIT YOU ONCE I FIND OUT WHO) about putting together a list of the alternate canon-names we're to have for the media our characters consume in this lovely AU.

Just cause everyone likes lists. No other reason.

I know I've already done it a few times myself in tags, but I think it might be awesome to try to have continuity on that front? Not that it really matters, it just sounds fun lol.

Anyway, I'd gladly make the list of what we have so far and give it to our lovely mod(s?) if anyone's interested.

Comment here with the stuff you've made up (if you remember it) and - ideally - the comment it was made in? SOURCE CHECKS PEOPLE /shot

I did Barry Totter for Harry Potter. WHOOPSES.
He went to Pigfarts and it was Platform 6 and 4/3rds that he took the Pigfarts express to.

These are cute! Good idea on making a list too.

It's possibly worth noting at this point that not all canon names necessarily require an alternative title because the name of the canon doesn't affect the characters. Like Being Human or ASOIAF. It's the canons that have character names or important concepts in the title like Harry Potter that require an alternative title.

Good to know!
