Most fictional work take place in real world unless there is a specific mythology and that is where you get niche universes. For example, Marvel Universe, Whedonverse and Breeniverse. They exist individually unless there is a crossover. When Marvel Universe overlaps with DC Universe I don't think it was named something new to represent the combined universes.

Fan produced vidoes can exist either with the Lonelygirl15 Universe/KateModern Universe (or a combination of both) or they can exist in an entirely new universe created by the writers/producers of the fan video series.
