The Fan Effect

The Fan Effect was a universal phenomenon that created what was left of the universe. Everything from movies, books, tv shows, and other pop culture genres became a part of the real world causing mass chaos around the planet.

The government got a hold of the effect and turned their forces against it. In the end everything was fully stable but some pieces of the Fan Effect still remain in the universe. New planets were born, Milo City was established, and the world of pop culture was gaining popularity.

Milo City (where all the contributors and stories take place in) is the pinacle of pop culture and its where most of the Fan Effect is located. This explains why so many things happen to the contributors such as encountering fictional characters and gaining access to fictional weapons and powers.

The use of magic already existed, just that it wasnt part of the Fan Effect in any sort of way. Agent Zene, a secret agent working with the Milo City government and Chuck Connex, is obsessed with the Fan Effect and he continues to look for more pieces of what was left of the Fan Effect.
