No, for the ones I'm holding, it almost has to be single-fandom; the ones labelled that way are in more of an all-cast vein. At first I had wondered if it meant a self-contained story rather than an installment in a series, but it seems like I'd seen one somewhere that contradicted that (although I can't find it now). All but one of the examples I have is from the same circle, tho, and I also have kind of a yorozu book of theirs (a collected reprint of works they had in commercial anthologies for several fighting game fandoms), and the last one I don't know anything about the circle except that one book. If the circle was known to work in multiple fandoms, it would make sense. Also these are from the period 1996-1999, so usage may have changed since then.
And thanks; the other yorozu books I've run across aren't ones that really pique my interest (mostly they're 18+ and I've been shying away from that, too; or else they're just not in a style that's to my taste), but I won't see the "yorozu" itself as such a barrier to trying them now.
