The Discworld series was a comedic fantasy series created by Terry Pratchett in 1983, starting with the novel The Colour of Magic. He continued to write further Discworld books until his death, to much acclaim, and the series has also branched out into video games, TV movies, and TV series.
The series has never officially crossed over with any elements of the Jenny Everywhere mythos. However, the unofficial short story Pratfall, written by Scott Sanford, featured a version of Jenny native to the titular Discworld, coming across the series' famous embodiment of Death. Its cover mimicked the covers of early editions of official Discworld novels.
Additionally, the concept of L-Space was alluded to in Jeanne Morningstar's The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere, and mentioned by name in Aristide Twain's You've Been To Eden, I Perceive.
Dog Days of Sumer made no use of Discworld concepts in its narrative but was released on May 25th, a date of some in-universe significance within the Discworld universe, and prefaced with two verses of a song extracted from Night Watch in allusion to that fact.
