Azeroth - home to Warcraft
WoT - I'm guessing he's referring to the Wheel of Time series
???
Krynn - Dragonlance's home world

And yes, I think. Wait no that's Neverwhere that I'm thinking of, so I dunno.

*chortles.* Pornoverse!

Yeah, World as Myth is why I'm doing this exercise...

I've heard of Prester John but don't know who he is...

and no idea about Drizzt.

Famous Fiction must include Avalon and Arthur et al. It may not be my cup of tea, but it is very popular.

For people: Sherlock Holmes. Poirot. Miss Marple.

Put Black Jewels in there, though I probably woudl not want to visit.

I'm without my books, darn it.

I say the Dresden Files are big enough to count (got a TV show).

Ermmmmm... I'll think on this more.

Some Worlds / Settings:
Terre D'Ange
Krondor
Uplift
Ringworld
Greyhawk
(seriously, I feel dirty even mentioning this) Faerun / The Forgotten Realms
The World of Darkness (good or bad it has more books than most other settings)
Melanie Rawn's Sun Runner setting (can't remember the name)
Westeros (a game of thrones, a clash of kings, an endlessly delayed sequel...)
the x-men setting in theory equals the marvel multi-verse, which has the dubious distinction of requiring more resets than a windows NT web server (yay continuity! Oh, wait...)

Some people
The Caesars
Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, Brutus
King Leonidas
Helen, Achilles, Hector, King Priam, etc...
Sun Tzu
Miyamoto Musashi
Roland
Yvain
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Li Mu Bai
