Talk:Made-up Places
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Name change?
As I've been working on this, I've realized that almost all of the entries on this page are going to be countries. Also, "places" is rather non-specific, as it could include things like "Coach Z's Boudoir". I think what we're really interested in is Made-up Countries. Anybody object to me moving this page there?

- But wouldn't we want to include made-up towns as well? I think we should keep the name, and specify in the intro that this is about geographical locations. Loafing

- And then there's things like the Sweet Sweet Rainbow Bridge and Cubeland, which are different from either of those things. --DorianGray 03:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Real Fake Countries
Dortugal, Prance, and Potamia don't really belong here, because they weren't made up by the characters.
- You bring up a great question — I'm not so sure. I was thinking about this, and I put them on here because I figured that In Search of the Yello Dello was kind of like a movie that the Homestar Runner characters did (they even made a commentary and deleted scenes). If it's a movie, then they're fictional places. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, though... Trey56 05:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, I didn't see your reply and deleted it straight away. I think that even if the characters made up the Yello Dello movie, the places are part of the legitimate story-telling. I think that places in this article should be ones where characters insist that they are part of their "real" world. To cover up lies, for example. Loafing 05:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

- So what should be included in the article? The suggestion of Sweet Sweet Rainbow Bridge (from flashback) would work. How about:
- Place (along with Land and Haggleston)
- Rotten Egglünd
- Neuconsin
- Big Old Tree (The Stick variation from different town)
- Folk Tale World
- Moses Maloneland
- Any others that are missing? Either way, this page will wind up being part disambiguation, part miscellaneous catch all. Also, we already have a list of this sort wbwolf (t | ed) 19:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

2 Things
1. The stone bridge from personal favorites is made up right?
2. The tour map with the cool tapes in welcome back had many made up cities right?
