Shown Their Work/Fan Works


 * The Back to The Future fanfic The Almanac Chronicles is accurate with respect to geography, as well as history from 1958 to.
 * TheThe Butterfly Effect fanfic The Butterfly Effect 0 is accurate with respect to southern New York state geography as well as historical events.
 * A lot of details went into the researching behind the locations, schools and universities that appear in the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle real-world AU Freefall, as well as
 * Half of Hunting the Unicorn is a Cerebus Retcon of Blaine's Relationship Sue and Knight in Shining Armor portrayal. The other half is showing what it would take to produce someone like Blaine. Given that the author is studying psychology and read up on medieval chivalry, it isn't surprising that some readers find it so believable.
 * The author of Hogyoku Ex Machina asked her high school readers if they could define tuberculosis without using Wikipedia to determine if Ichigo and friends would reasonably know.
 * Cornova did a lot of research with regards to the ins and outs of the Pokémon anime for Poke Wars.
 * Diane Castle, the author of The Secret Return of Alex Mack, has made a point of doing enough research (or perhaps using her own knowledge) to make the jargon and exposition of experts in various fields seen in the story -- including IT, physics, biochemistry, genetics, even the economics of being a freelance photojournalist -- accurate and plausible.
 * This tradition is continued by the many authors who contribute to The Teraverse (the Shared Universe spawned from The Secret Return); they all tend to Show Their Work and/or Write What They Know in a multitude of obscure fields.
 * Having a patient with an eating disorder, like Melanie in Astral Journey: It's Complicated, has occurred in many cases... it's known as chair rest. In fact, Bed rest had been commonly used in cases of mental illnesses. The practice is sometimes still done but in cases like back and labor pain, which it's typical done in a short period, often more than 48 hours. Now, it's common for recovery to have little need for bed rest as possible as NOT USING is just as bad.
 * In Part 8, Emma's details of her astral form upon in the A&E, Flatlined, are actually bases on real cases that had been report, some were even dramatized on TLC's Untold Stories of the ER.
 * In The Dark, Geri's recommendation of hypnosis has some research to back up it up. In fact, even Mythbusters put the concept of hypnosis by creating a mock-crime. The results from the hypnosis yielded results more effective than without.
