The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Is Mac God?
peregrine:
While I still disagree entirely with your premise (that this universe is caused by the second Pattern) I will admit that in an infinite enough universe (as in Amber) it's possible for there to be a Pattern out there. Though I don't think it's THE Pattern, because that is counter to the cosmology of the Dresden Files as we know it. You can only have one real true origin of everything.
That said, in the interest of fairness, I'd point out that Zelazny did insert himself into the Chronicles of Amber as a minor character. (The guard on the way to the Pattern chamber.)
That said, I disagree with the idea of a truly infinite multiverse that may have Spider-Man or whatnot in it. But that is because it seems to me that new universes are caused by a free will Choice made by a person, and no Choice a person can make is going to alter the rules of reality enough to make a radioactive spider give someone superpowers and not just make them very sick.

YAY. You did read it. He was also writing his own book. This would be another Zelazny like thing to do, Jim writing himself into the story. :)
Though it isn't unique to him of course.
Another thing that can be fitted with the Amber story is the other destroyed Patterns Merlin finds out exists. He is able to restore one of them, but I think there were like 8 of them. This could be similar to how many Universes that ended up destroyed by Outsiders, that Uriel ended up pulling the plug on.

The biggest example I can think of was Stephen King writing himself a big role in the Dark Tower series. From my understanding with fans it was hit or miss. Me personally, I loved it. I thought it was well done and it worked so well to tie this story to him as his magnus opus.

His main appearances were acceptable, but the Id/Ego/Superego Stephen King Triplets was a bridge too far.
Lost Merlin:
yes I agree with that. It was a stretch.
