ThousandWorlds is the Star Wars universe created by Maggie Nowakowska and Dyane Kirkland. It was the first complex fan-created Star Wars universe and the first of the stories was published in Moonbeam #3 in February 1978.

Dyane's participation ended with the story "It's a Man's World" in Guardian #3.

The stories were in Skywalker, Time Warp, and Guardian. They were later collected and published in the zine ThousandWorlds Collected.

These stories won at least one Fan Q.

A fan who reviewed a story in Grip #17 mentions the universe's influence: "I found her use of the word 'enclave' interesting; it's further proof of the influence the 'ThousandWorlds' universe has over SW fandom, much like several 'Kraithisms' that have come to be accepted almost as 'canon' in ST fandom."

At least one other fan wrote a riff on this series with two stories in Equal Space: "'Like Father' and 'Eight is More than Enough' are two short pieces based on a bit of Thousandworlds apocrypha involving eight bastard half-brothers fathered by Han Solo and their search for their father."
