 A limited multiverse is basically one in which there are some rules dictating how the multiverse works. We can technically consider Norse Mythology to have a limited multiverse, though you could also argue that Davies-era Doctor Who had a limited multiverse because traveling between multiverses was considered almost impossible and extremely dangerous. But that's a can of worms I don't want to get into right now. A limited multiverse is basically one in which there are some rules dictating how the multiverse works.

-Introducing the multiverse into a story is almost as bad as introducing [[playground:story:time-travel]], though time-travel is actually not as bad for the simple fact that you //can// write a good time-travel story if you're very careful. A multiverse story is basically impossible to write well unless you're omniscient (which you aren't and, if you were, you'd come to the same conclusion) or you limit the rules so much that it's no longer a multiverse.+Introducing the multiverse into a story is almost as bad as introducing [[lb:time-travel]], though time-travel is actually not as bad for the simple fact that you //can// write a good time-travel story if you're very careful.
