ALL SCI-FI

[Tom]

In his classic ???biographies??? of fictional characters (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life), Hugo- and Nebula-award winning author Philip Jos?? Farmer introduced the Wold Newton family, a collection of heroes and villains whose family-tree includes Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, Philip Marlowe, and James Bond. In books, stories, and essays he expanded the concept even further, adding more branches to the Wold Newton family-tree.

A SECRET WOLD NEWTON
CROSSOVER CHRONOLOGY
PART I (Prehistory-859 c.e.)
http://www.pjfarmer.com/secret/chron/chron...on1-revised.htm

4, 000,000, 0000 BP
A galaxy spanning race or group of races known variously as the Ancients, the Founders, the Old Ones and Long-Gones having mastered time time travel attempt to travel back to the beginning of time creating fractures on the time continuum, leading to the creation of alternate universes.

2,0000,000 BP
While experimenting with various methods to repair the time continuum and fuse the ever burgeoning amount of alternate universes, the Ancients discover a method of creating Pocket Universes.

1,000,000 BP
The Ancients begin their transformation from matter to pure intellect and energy beings leaving behind what will amount to minute traces of their vast and powerful civilization. Among the artifacts are the Guardian of Forever, The Stargates and the Obelisks. Theories abound as to what the Ancient ones became; from the Organians to the Q Continuum to the Elder Gods.

750,000 BP
A Powerful race or group of races known as the Preservers, using technology abandoned by the Ancient Ones strive to achieve what the Ancient Ones did, to this end they seek to understand Life and Intellect by studying all sentient races in minute detail.

In many time lines this study was rather benign and did not affect the cosmos in any great manner. In these timelines when they located a species emerging into sentience they planted massive collection devices in the planetary core of the species world. These collection devices recorded the memories and personalities of every individual from their birth to their deaths up to the death of the species. (Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer)

In other time lines the Preservers studies had unforeseen consequences for they used more a more personal approach.

This was an experiment that went drastically wrong and had dire consequences for the cosmos. For it created the three parasitic races we know today as the Goa'uld, The Hive and the Colonists.

The Goa'uld became true symbiotes to the effect that if the parasite or host were abruptly killed, both would die. The Goa'uld were able to seize control of their hosts and eventually without interference, completely subjugated their host race's home world. After achieving space flight, they discovered and eventually seized control of the stargate transportation system. (Speculation based on information on the Stargate TV series)

The Hive formed a collective mind into which they subsumed their hosts; they had such control of their host's bodies that they are able to keep it alive viable even after physical death has actually taken place. The Hive was centered on one world until a scouting party of the Aliens known as the Grey's or Aesir visited the Hive home world. (Speculation based on information onDark Skies, TV series.

This is where the third mutation occurred. The Colonists were formed.

Although the Aesir are almost genetically identical they actually have three distinct racial groups, the Aesir, Vanir and Jotun. Each race had various traits evolved to deal with distinct hostile environments. Those members of the Jotun that were hived, taken over by a hive parasite found themselves host to a being which dissolved their bodies from the inside out, absorbing their DNA and genetic structure to become a hybrid creature. During the stage when the larvae is growing inside the body, its waste product is a thick black sludge filled with viral spores that can infect other species. The hybrid rips is way out of the host body in a violent and fatal fashion. After a period of savagery where it attacks, kills or infects any living creature it encounters the hybrid undergoes a further transformation. It becomes for all appearances a member of the Aesir free of any parasitic growths but its consciousness is pure Hive.(Speculation, formed from X-Files Television series)

600,000 BP

400,000 BP -
In the wake of the Fall of Lemuria, many surviving Lemurians found the first empire of Atlantis. The Lemurians are joined by other refugees from a crash of a Barsoomian spaceship, including La, daughter of Tario. More on the fate of La is revealed here. The first empire of Atlantis eventually falls, giving rise to a second empire.

THE COMING OF CONAN
Nineteen-year-old Conan is captured by a shaman who reveals the secrets of the past and the future. Among the visions revealed is that of King Kull of Valusia.

Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian issue 1, by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. The cross-references to Kull are so numerous throughout the Conan series, it would be redundant to list them all, so only selected references will be listed.

LAIR OF THE BEAST-MEN

The Ape-Men who capture young Conan and keep humans for slave labor all have Mangani names, perhaps pointing to the distant origin of the tribes which survived to live in 19th Century Africa.

Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian issue 2, by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith.

DEVIL-WINGS OVER SHADIZAR

Maldiz, the finest blacksmith and goldsmith in Shadizar, tells Conan that the gold piece he forges for Conan is "not quite up to a falcon I once forged."

Clearly, the origin of the fabled object known in the present day as the Maltese Falcon goes much farther back into ancient history than once was thought. Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian issue 6, by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith.

A SWORD CALLED STORMBRINGER

Young Conan fights along side a warrior from another dimension called Elric of Melnibon??.

Issues 14 and 15 of Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian, by Roy Thomas, Michael Moorcock, James Cawthorn, and Barry Windsor-Smith. The immortal warrior Kane would also meet Elric, proving that that the various dimensions in which the Eternal Champion stories occur are alternate universes to the Newtonverse.

12,000 BP -
Red Sonja's exploits also take place during this time period and she encountered Conan many times. Red Sonja's adventures are chronicled in novels by David C. Smith and Richard L. Tierney: The Ring of Ikribu, Demon Night, When Hell Laughs, Endothor???s Daughter, Against the Prince of Hell, and Star of Doom.
