Terminology Thursday: Bookverse
For today’s Terminology Thursday, we’re learning all about the bookverse!
The term refers to the books or novels in fandoms which have canon in multiple media such as books, films and/or TV series.
Often used in the fanfiction community, the term bookverse is used to mark stories that are explicitly and exclusively based on the book versions, although some fanworks can also be set in a hybrid of the bookverse and movieverse (or TV series).
Some examples of fandoms with bookverse and other kinds of canon include Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings, Howl's Moving Castle, and many more!
Let us know your favorite bookverse in the comments or add them to our Fanlore page to help us expand it!
We value every contribution to our shared fandom history. If you’re new to editing Fanlore or wikis in general, visit our New Visitor Portal to get started or ask us questions here!
