Line 15:
** For Ranma of ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'', it usually indicates a story where he accepts and embraces his girl-side, often to the extent of abandoning being male altogether.
** In [[Harry Potter]] fanfiction, usually in stories written after the release of ''The Half-Blood Prince'', this is typically used to indicate a female Blaise Zabini.
** Multiple [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Bridgets]] were dropped on ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' fandom when the beautiful Tieria was revealed to have a masculine voice. Even now, people call for 'female!Tieria' or the more explicit 'Tiera-with-girl-parts'.
** This happens frequently with the ambiguous character Haku from ''[[Naruto]]'', but this tag also gets used all the time on ''Naruto himself''. Partially ''Justified'' in the fact that Naruto has been seen changing into a female form as part of a Henge (or disguise), based on himself if he were a well endowed female instead of a guy.
** Seen in video game fanfics in which a main character's gender can be chosen by the player, such as ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' (female!{{spoiler|Revan}}, female!Exile) and ''[[Mass Effect]]'' (female!Shepard) -- a corresponding "male" tag also exists.
** Seen in ''[[

* ''Gay'': [[Everyone Is Gay|Self-explanatory.]] Sometimes used if a character is portrayed as gay without being [[Slash Fic|involved in the main pairing.]]
* ''God'': A character is vastly more powerful, intelligent, and occasionally morally pure than in the source material. Similar to the below Uber tag, but more frequently used in negative criticism of a story than in the author's own description, with the frequent implication that the author incorrectly believes this version is [[Canon]].
Line 34:
** A subclass of this is the YAHF, or ''Yet Another Halloween Fic'', from the fact that it uses the gimmick of the second season episode "Halloween" to achieve the Uber effect.
[[Fanfic]] communities will often have tags specific to their fandoms that they use to describe tropes that occur with some regularity (Slytherin![[Harry Potter|Harry]], Future![[Heroes (TV series)|Hiro]], or Vamp![[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Willow]], for example).
The title of a given [[Fanfic]] 'verse, or an abbreviation thereof, can also be used to indicate the version of a character from that setting, particularly when there have been major changes to them: [[Undocumented Features|UF]]![[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Utena]], [[Sailor Moon Expanded|SME]]![[Sailor Moon|Jadeite]].
Line 42:
The practice is starting to seep out from fanfiction, though, and can also be used when talking about similar things in the source material, such as, for example, Future!Hiro, Vamp!Willow, or Brainwashed!Undead!Starscream (''[[Transformers Energon|Energon]]''!Starscream for short). It's also used in a more tongue-in-cheek manner to categorize examples of the [[Mary Sue]] in a quick, concise form.
It can also be used to identify a specific version of a character or work when it had been done by different people and/or in different media since [[Depending
