The Multiverse of fiction

Narratives are waaaaayy too linear. I know that sounds mad but I honestly think that writers restrict their imagination by sticking down the straight and narrow, so to speak.

Okay, so this is what we are used to, Linear Narrative

I've thrown in some of the funkier types of narrative just to make everything look snazz. Buuuuuttt my defective imagination tells me that that is  just not enough. I want something more complicated and diverse. I often wonder what it would be like if two or more very different stories crossed over into each other because of this similar element. The characters and the locations would be merged, because this 'common element' would need, want or require it to be that way. Here's an idea of what the linear timelines of the multiple narratives could look like

How about an analogy, though I realise this is going to sound stupid because I'm basically throwing stones at a wall to give a quick idea of what madness I'm talking about, and madness (view blog title) is what I'm good at.

Okay... you have Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (IV, V, VI). All three are epics in their own right, but people often hypothetically debate such questions as "Who would win between..." "Who was stronger..." and I think it should be explored more thoroughly in writing. What if the three Dark Lords, Voldemort, Sauron and Darth Vader were cast together by some greater being and the combined forces of the Death Eaters, Mordor and the Sith had the chance to take on the three worlds that had been somehow spliced into one hybridized universe.

Inevitably it would seem that 'LOTR' would be severely disadvantaged against the others with their fantasy and sci-fi powers but that can be part of the fun. Afterall, Gandalf could give them a run for their money and the heroes of Middle Earth are much more strategically minded when it comes to war; plus the wizards and witches fighting the good fight would more than likely prefer to protect and enhance the Middle Earth fighters than actually use their powers to kill.

Of course this is hypothetical and not fully thought out so it could be worked out that while they're universes are conjoined, they share each others' world's benefits. Magic, the force, armies and technology coming together. (Proper geek moment there)

I want to attempt to create several 'universes' that can collide together like I have explained, I already have UNISON and from there I want to make new stories that are original from UNISON but have some common element; an element crucial enough to bring them all together! That way I can bring the best parts of each story together, for me that would be epic; already I doubt whether such a book would ever be a good idea to write, but I know from the perspective of writing it it would be really fun!

Feel free to take apart the idea and tell me off for even thinking it up :)
Just a bit of madness from my head :)
