Line 625:
** Musical choices are a very common element. Fanfic writers will often put Hogwarts students (even pureblood wizards like Draco) in shirts advertising moody American Muggle bands [[Present Day Past|that hadn't even been formed at the corresponding timeline.]]
** Another ''Harry Potter'' fanfic, ''[[The Girl Who Lived]]'', features as its main character a [[Gender Flip]]ped version of Harry - who's also a nudist druidess. As can be imagined, this results in a ton of things being thrown into the plot that have absolutely nothing to do with the series, including a reference to [[The Lord of the Rings|Mallorn trees]]...
** In ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12562072/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Daft-Morons Harry Potter and the Daft Morons]'' by "sinyk", Harry is a [[Supreme Chef]] who, when he can wrest control of the kitchen from Dobby, creates utter feasts for his friends and loved ones. Inexplicably, one of the things he's mentioned as preparing for one meal are rissoles, an obscure Australian family "comfort food". It probably comes as no surprise that the author is Australian.
* A Drizzt Do'Urden fanfic that was slightly more nuanced than the standard. Catti-brie wanted to try bondage, and while Drizzt is at first interested, being from a society that is controlled by a frothing boot-on-the-neck abusive matriarchy, he started freaking out. He got used to it in the end, though.
* Fics in which the characters eat the author's favourite meal are quite common, and often not particularly problematic, but see the above mention of Pepper-Jack Cheese - it doesn't work when the food is not accessible or there would be other reasons for the characters not to eat it. For example, there was once a ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fic which featured the elves making a ''pizza''.
