Names are Hard · 1:38am Jul 26th, 2013
Diplomatic resolution time!
So recently, a fancy-as-tea-with-the-queen fellow by the name of Tuxedo Jack has been asking me about some of the details of The Journey of Graves universe. However, it came up in our discussion that we didn't actually know what this universe was called. Derp.
So herein lies the question: what should it be called? Apparently, some are calling it the Spelliverse since magic plays a greatly elevated roll in it. Others refer to it as the Gravesiverse, in honor of titular character Gunmetal Graves. A third option is the Marshalverse, since the military structure incorporates descriptions of both the magic and the character.
Of course, there's also RarityisbestponyandshippedwithcoolestguyGravesiverse, but that might just be me.
Any of these names catch your eye? Any additional suggestions that blow these out of the water? Please let me know in the comments so I can finally do what I should have done a long time ago and name my firstborn. Grazie!
Sincerely,
GentlemanJ
That sounds just about right.
Marshalverse is sounds the best.
Marshalverse sound good
ultimatebadassGravesverse?
1236665 I second this motion.
I like the sound of Gunmetalverse, badass name for the most badass protagonist on this site.
1236721 That sounds awesome.
Marshalverse rolls off the tongue, Gravesverse gets stuck in the mouth and Gunmetalverse can give the wrong impression.
PleaseHasbromakemeintomyownstandaloneseriesverse?
But in all seriousness, Marshalverse is the only real option, it rolls right off the tounge, and doesn't make this sound as grim-dark as Gunmetalverse.

How about "The Journey"? Not every 'verse needs to explicitly have verse at the end of the name.
1236771 It'sbecauseit'sonBronystories'blogisn'titverse.

1236786 NobecauseIhonestlyhavenoideawhatthefuckisgoingoniverse.
Eh, there are to many 'verses'. I'd call it, The Marshals Canon.
EDIT: djthomp's suggestion, "The Journey" sounds good too.
1236806 They are discussing turning fanfics and such into user created episodes and series. Some of the shit we've been able to create can blow canon episodes out of the water.
1236815 Imagine if DWA was animated.
That'd be awesome.
1236823 I am unfamiliar with DWA. Fill me in please?
To throw in my two cents, or hay pennies as it may be, I've always referred to this series as the "Journeyverse" in my head as it is The Journey of Graves.
1236830 DWA is short for Doctor Whooves Adventures, which are radio plays made by SqeakAnon.
1236840 I'll have to look those up when I'm not half dead.
Marshalverse or the aforementioned Journeyverse sound good to me.
I'd say RarityisbestponyandshippedwithcoolestguyGravesiverse is a perfect name.
Marshalverse.
Also I still have to catch up
Your world your universe. I honestly don't see a reason why to stress this now anyways. In the end it will be your decision, and I highly doubt people would disagree with ya. When it comes to you, you will know. Trust yourself, and remember who you are...remember...*slowly vanishes into a large storm cloud*...Remember...

Of the options, Marshalverse sounds best, honestly.
Journeyverse
or
Marshalverse
Out of the few options, "Journeyverse" rolls off the tongue best.
I kinda want to propose naming it "Elderverse" after Operation Elder, mostly because it sounds awesomazing
Marshalverse certainly has a ring to it
I like Gravesverse, but Marshalverse works well too.
i like Marshalverse

These two are what sounds best to me. The "Journeyverse" or the "Elderverse"
I think Marshalverse sounds best.
marshalverse
Marshalverse
RAXACORICOFALLAPATORIUSIVERSE!
Well,is the 'verse' mandatory ?
If it is, my choice would be Marshalverse
I actually like The Journey most of all, but if we are going for on with an 'verse' ending, I think Marshalverse is the best. But I suppose since basically everyone is saying that, it doesn't have to be said by myself.
I like these 'verse' names, but I think it needs to be shorter than the offering so far and different from the rest of the 'verses out there.
In which case, I'd throw in a vote for the Journeyverse. Gravesverse sounds too dark, and has too many sibilants in it, and the Gentlemanverse has already been taken by a more... mature audience. So Journeyverse kind of has a good ring to it.
…Dresdenverse?
Or maybe just Marshalverse.
I'd say Marshalverse

It's not generally called the "Fallout: Equestria"-verse, as you put it, because first there was Fo:E, then there were the side stories, not technically canon to the original. Other 'verses are called "[insert-name-here]verse because side stories ARE canon to the main story, like the Winningverse and the Chessverse. The Winningverse also has some spinoff 'verses of it's own as well, but we don't need to talk about those (unless you want to...).
For some reason, Gunmetalverse got me thinking of Metal Gear Solid, and then my brain started alluding to the possibility that Graves is probably the reincarnation of Solid Snake or something, but yeah, I'd have to say that Marshalverse sounds like the best name we've got on hand so far.
Marshalverse? I know its already been suggested but it makes sense
1236665 Gotta agree with ya, Jocko.
