Continuing narrative cycles

SPACE FLYING TIGER

Vacío Arpista’s career: five numbered installments plus later explicitly labeled interludes/continuations. Training, masks, territories, botches, Japan, Canada, hotel violence and posthumous fan memory.

PAGODA BENZ

Pagoda Benz, the Rat, the Cut-Out, Egglestone and a “Distended Universe” that explicitly absorbs Scaled Alps.

NULL⁰ / Guy Stole My Dog

NULL0, Rusty, EOS and One Big City: an open 1.1 chassis whose social orders are combat, fashion and dog breeding.

MY TRAIN WILL COME

A hidden two-part lottery narrative split across otherwise unrelated publications.

King Baggot / Pseudobaggot

Real silent-film history mutates into false memory, fake media, Baggot Brain and a Hollywood underworld continuation.

Suna Ralos / Cat of Creases

An earlier attributed tale is explicitly fed into a later retelling/visual apparatus.

Large worlds contained inside single works

Some stories do not need sequels because a single publication already behaves like a small city. Their cast maps preserve social information that a thematic synopsis destroys:

Geographic continuity

Lost Eros / Narrative Ecology tracks stories that share a civic field without pretending their casts have met. San Lucero operates similarly as a nearby social world.

Persona worlds

Cagliostro, Proteus III, REPTILE and Professor Sun A. Ra Los are unstable by design: music credit, fictional identity, attributed author, institution and joke can occupy the same name.

Small names that make the world bigger

Café Goblin and Plagiarist Pages demonstrate another continuity scale: a publication or event name can recur only twice and still make the corpus feel inhabited rather than freshly invented at every page.

For people, use the Cast Register. For exact source relationships, use the Continuity Ledger. For numbered and disguised serial structures, use Series & Continuities.
