I've never read the book/saw the movie so there is that.
I'm going mostly of the publication date in the wikipedia.
Well , someone posted a Abdul Alhazred, who was first mentioned in 1939, and nobody complained. I think that if you said "he was real in the Nasuverse", it could work. After all, Chtulhu exist in canon, so why not ?

on one hand, I'm not really sure how canon compliant it is under standard circumstances.
however, Nasu rules are subverted all the time, plus you could argue that "he was based on a real civil war soldier" and sneak him in. Besides, people make modern heroic servants in this thread all the time. (Whether they should or not is debatable, but they do.)
so really, it's up to you. If you want to, you could probably make it work in some capacity.
The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialisation in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909, to January 8, 1910. It was published in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte.Originally Posted by go matsfuck the whatJohn Carter was the lead character in the first novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, set on a fictionalized version of Mars known as Barsoom. Written between July and September 28, 1911, the novel was serialized as Under the Moons of Mars in the pulp magazine The All-Story from February to July 1912. It later appeared as a complete novel only after the success of Burroughs' Tarzan series. For its October 1917 hardcover publication by A.C. McClurg & Company, the novel was retitled A Princess of Mars.

It's pretty obvious GO kind of did away with the pre-established rules in order to find more low-hanging fruit they could make Servants out of. Or maybe book Servants are just special.
I mean, Vlad gets infinitely stronger by calling on the powers of the book that was written three years before the cutoff date. Either way, it's not like we haven't had a bunch of WWI/II and in between Servants in here already.
@ All these Telemachus sheets: I like the base idea as well, but for some reason I have this image of his bow NP being actually impossible for him to string "properly" and he just uses it some other way normally
Then after character development in a fic he strings the thing and "surpasses/equals his father" in the symbolic sense
Idk just a thought
@John Carter of Mars, something something he's a wraithlike existence inspired by a true story of someone actually going to another realm (Other Side or some elemental's RM or something) and summoned as "John Carter of Mars" something like Kojirou; bam, now you can bullshit it
and the wraith is born before 1900
so i guess you could do it with something along those lines but i wouldn't personally because i don't much like the idea itself
oh i should clean up and post a sheet i have here actually, nearly forgot this thread existed
When you read a post you made five years agoaccurate descriptions of Type-Moon media

Well Phantom of the Opera's summoning is possible because the individual who the book was based on was born prior to the 1900 cut off it seems and the Phantom you summon is basically that individual that's been affected and attributed with the book's content. So John Carter of Mars could be made into a Servant by saying that the individual who the book was based on was born prior to the cut off, which seems to be actually true judging from some of the comments in this thread.
