Fictional Series

This article will outline what series will and won't be classified as a fictional series and receive their own dedicated series pages in this wiki and what entries will and won't be considered a part of a series.

## What is Considered a Fictional Series

A fictional series is a series of works of fiction, meaning that they must either tell fictional events or be about fictional characters. This means that a fictional series can include fictional characters experiencing real events or real characters experiencing fictional events. This means that biographies, documentaries, encyclopaedias, newspapers or segments of news, talk shows and game shows will not be included under any circumstance in this wiki. In most cases simulation video games of any kind such as flight simulations, sport simulations and management simulations are considered fictional series because while being based on real life elements, they tell fictional events through gameplay, since the players' games don't follow real life events.

A fictional series covers any group of fictional works, regardless of the type of media, including books, films, television series, video games, physical games and movies with each of them being considered of equal importance. The number of releases is irrelevant for a series to be considered as such with singular releases that never had sequels, adaptations or in general never evolved into an actual series still receiving their own dedicated series page in this Wiki.

Only professional works that include registered trademarks and are copyrighted should preferably be included. A fictional series must also have some degree of popularity as it would be impossible to cover every piece of fictional work. Series that fell into the public domain are considered actual series, but only works that were released before the expiration of the copyright are considered.

To avoid excessive cross referencing, sometimes a group of series or Individual releases will be grouped into the same universe, with a seperat epahge detailing all of the connections for example, companies where all of their series are clearly shown to exist in the same universe through repeated crossover events such as in the case of series produced by Marvel or DC, or companies that release a number of singular releases or series composed of only a few entries and make it a staple to make connections between all of there series, such as in the case of series produced by Disney or Pixar.

## What Works are Considered Part of a Series

Works will only be considered part of the series if they are produced by the owners of the series or if they are produced by others under the owners license. This means any fan created or unauthorised content based on the series will not be included in the series no matter the level of popularity. In most cases Sub-Series and Spin-Offs of a series will be listed under the main series for simplicity reasons. A complete list of works considered part of the same series will be provided at the start of each dedicated series page to show what can be used to form a connection between series, whether that be a connection from that entry to another series or a connection to that entry from another series.
