Shared universe

A shared universe is a fictional universe in which multiple independently created works are set. One or more authors may contribute works to a shared universe. The works within the universe may share characters and other story elements, with or without continuity. Shared universes can be found in literature, comic books, films, television, anime and manga and are most commonly seen in fantasy and science fiction genres.

A good example of the shared universe in action is this after-end-credits scene from the film Iron Man (2008) where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) cross paths for the very first time:

(after end credits)
Tony Stark: (arriving home) Evening, JARVIS!
Jarvis: (voice distorted) Welcome home, sir...
(Stark stops as he sees a figure in his living room)
Nick Fury: "I am Iron Man". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.
Tony Stark: Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury: Nick Fury. Director of SHIELD.
Tony Stark: Ah.
Nick Fury: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.

Queen's University

A university located in Kingston Ontario that will take all your money and leave you ewith nothing but emotional damage and a fuckin expensive ass leather jacket you will never wear after you graduate.

You will start in first year full of hope and optimism but will promptly be crushed by the crippling weight of your own inadequacy and illitercy. Beware frequent police notifications about recently released sexual predators in your community and overpriced bus tickets.

The food is great tho. You better like pub food.

**cough**wuck festern **cough**

Yeah Queen's University Engineering is way better than Queen's Commerce. Sorry it's just facts.

university of gonzaga

The University that should be known for its academic record and lovely campus. However many will forever know it as the school that you don't take past the round of 32 in every march madness bracket you fill out. Chances are they are the one seed and will bust many brackets of those ignorant people who choose the coolest name or top seeded teams. Lastly Gonzaga should mostly be known as the best University to film a porno no questions asked.

Mate One: Yo mate you know that school that always screws you in your march madness pool.
Mate Two: Yeah you mean the University of Gonzaga. I've learned my lesson and have them loosing early every year.
Mate One (again): Oh Gonzaga, that is where I hit it off big in the porn industry.
