User blog:Fan26/The Count's World Continuity

This blog is intended to be used as a citation when I find it necessary to explain the continuity of the Super Paper Mario characters in Poncho's Adventures. Below is an explanation for how they operate as they do.

The continuity I'm writing is the Count's World-verse, a post-SPM universe where Count Bleck and Tippi return to reassemble Bleck's team; this time not to destroy the multiverse, but rather to make it a better place. Even Dimentio returns, for reasons that are never elaborated on, though that absence of explanation has been used as a plot device.

The continuity appears in The Count's World, a series of continuation fanfics written by [|The Great Allie]. It is written in the style of a Saturday morning-cartoon, where most episodes/stories focus on the day-to-day happenings of the team. Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser all appear occasionally as well. Luigi, however, features unusually prominently. In Super Paper Mario, Nastasiahypnotized him to serve Count Bleck as 'Mr. L'. In the first episode/story, Dimentio brings him back to Castle Bleck to give his perspective on an issue, and from then on he, this time freely, joins the organization as Mr. L. (He chooses to act as Mr. L and not Luigi because he wishes to step out of Mario's shadow for once).

I was a bit hesitant about using The Great Allie's universe, but then I recalled this message on her Fanfiction.net profile: "'A message to anybody who is interested in writing Super Paper Mario fanfiction in the same continuity or scenario as that presented in The Count's World:

I can't take ownership of the scenario. You don't need my permission. Do it. Do it, and never look back.

Original characters appearing in any fanfiction published by TheGreatAllie are free for anyone to use, from Charlotte and Cousin Jen to Nawrocki. I feel kinda like a heel writing stories about copyrighted characters without asking permission, and then saying, "These are my OCs, donut steel!" Not that I think anybody wants them, and I respect other people's rights to keep their OCs under their control. I'm just putting that out there.

Anybody can translate or comic-ify or do whatever and spread the goodness of The Count's World, just so long as you don't just upload the story on a different website word for word. If you do that, you gotta fix all the errors I never went back and fixed because I keep thinking if I ignore them, they'll stop being wrong.'

So I'm having my characters operate in that universe.
