[all] sorry about that. The 1979 bit I mean - you missed a great couple of decades there!

Snodgrass]One of the few children's tv with animals during 60's (other than Animal Magic) that I watched was Daktari with a cross eyed lion.
Is the fiction set in the real world?
[Snodgrass] No. I also missed a pretty reasonable couple of centuries
[Inkspot] Depending on your definition of "adult fiction". It is not adult in the sense that pornography is adult, but it is aimed at an audience that would be refered to as adults. Although of course it isn't entirely unsuitable for children.

I'll say Yes to make it simpler.

Is the fiction set on some version of Earth?
To clarify: the fictional worlds of Star Trek and Mad Max are both set in versions of Earth, whereas those of Star Wars and Narnia aren't.
[sadie] No, most 'alternate' Earth stories would be on the SF side of Inkspot's line.
Are the set of works books, or were they originally?
[sadie] Mostly
Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler
In the same vein, Rincewind?
[Inkspot] No. He wasn't usually/ever the main character
