Oddly, several series that I read are set in a shared universe. One example is Eric Flint's 1632/Ring of Fire books. There was a mass of short stories written in the Grantville Gazette (~100 issues as ebooks) plus the 1632 & Beyond books. I suspect that quite a few people share my love for those stories. Yes, some of the stories were written by known names but the majority were written by people with their first entry in professional writing.
