== Anime
* '' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6969408/1/ In The End]'' by [[V0ID]] starts seconds after the ending of ''[[Code Geass]]''. It fills in some of the moments that went unexplored, and continues on to the chain of events following the last episode.
** Another series, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7148252/1/The_First_Servant The First Servant]''by Firelord Zuko starts off a few years after the ending, mainly through the eyes of Nunnally's son and heir, [[Original Character|Faramond vi Britannia,]] though it spans several more decades. The story itself also fleshes out the universe (including scenes set in the EU) as well as the fallout of Zero Requiem on the world stage. {{spoiler|All while Lelouch watches from the shadows.}}
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140805161923/http://www.mts.net/~kenwolfe/fanfic.html Earth]'' by Ken Wolfe picks up at the end of the ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World]]'' [[OVA]]s and spins an epic tale that not only cleans up the few loose threads left by the series, but also accounts for ''all'' of the pastel drawings of "things that happen after" shown under the end credits for the last episode!
* Richard Lawson's ''[
* Likewise, Vincent Seifert's ''[http://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/seifertv/toth/ The Taming of the Horse]''.
* [[The Neverending Road]] is an absolutely brilliant [[Hikaru no Go]] Fanfic that begins right where the manga abruptly ends.
Line 25:
* The ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5455943/1/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_Crisis MGLN Crisis]'' here is set one year after the third anime season. See its trope page [[MGLN Crisis|here]].
* The [[Elemental Chess Trilogy]] returns the reader to the world of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', beginning almost three years after the Promised Day and concluding roughly five years farther on.
* ''[[Rebellion (fanfic)|Rebellion]]'' definitely seems to pick up right after the last episode of the Anime for ''Chobits''.
* A lot of [[Naruto]] fanfics take place after the events of the manga ended; not quite [[Next Gen Fic]] for some. [[White Rain]] is a very good example.
Line 49:
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': It's a fairly popular genre in the ficdom now, either with those who support the canon pairings or those who, well, [[Fix Fic|don't]].
** Weirdly, there are those who accept the Epilogue rather than label it as [[Fanon Discontinuity|non-canon]], while still writing fics where their [[Shipping|preferred couple]] get together. This leads to bizarre results where Harry decides after twenty years he doesn't really love Ginny after all, and spontaneously gets together with Hermione, who has likewise realised the magic's gone out of her marriage with Ron. Ultimately everyone's okay with it and it's all happy families and [[Babies Ever After]]. In other cases it turns out that [[Ron the Death Eater|Ginny was dosing Harry with love potion and Ron is a violent rapist]], and the two find comfort in each other's arms. [[Die for Our Ship|Usually there is some retaliation]].
* After John Polidori's vampire tale "[[The Vampyre]]" was adapted into a French stage play by Charles Nodier,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120729205753/http://www.munseys.com/diskone/vampnod.pdf English translation/adaptation here]</ref> an unauthorized sequel novel by Cyprien Bérard, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=XqcGAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false Lord Ruthwen ou les Vampires]'' (1820), was attributed to Nodier.
* Prior to the prequels, most of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] was a continuation from the original trilogy.
* Ludovico Ariosto's ''[[Orlando Furioso]]'' was written as a sequel to Matteo Maria Boiardo's ''Orlando Innamorato'', which in turn is a [[Prequel]] to ''[[The Song of Roland]]''. If one takes the former two to be canon, then [[Weirdness Magnet | Roland had a ''very'' interesting past.]] ''Orlando Furioso'' also classifies as a [[Deconstruction Fic]], due to how it deconstructs a number of [[Chivalric Romance]] tropes.
== Live
* When ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' ended, countless virtual series popped up in its wake. The majority of these took the Scooby Gang to the Cleveland Hellmouth. These were, ironically, Jossed by the new season of Angel and the new season of Buffy, in comic form. These tend to phase out characters who are disliked or a challenge to write dialogue for. The absence of such characters are usually [[Hand Wave|explained away]] as them having left to fight demons elsewhere; if they appear at all, it's only in phone calls where their end of the conversation isn't heard.
** The site [
* ''[[Charmed]]'' got two more seasons on charmed-net.de. While the site has been closed after 10 years all [[Script Fic|scripts]] are [https://web.archive.org/web/20101021060539/http://www.charmed-net.de/season9.htm
* The folks at stillflying.net took a rather unique approach, continuing from the end of ''[[Firefly]]'' in which the remainder of the first season and the first half of the second is a buildup to the events of the film ''Serenity'', and the second half of season two is the events of that film with much more room to dig into the characters and flesh out the story. They also plan to continue into season three.
* The ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfic ''[[Forward]]'' is a continuation of the series set after the end of ''Serenity'', though it is partially alternate universe, in that {{spoiler|[[Better Than Canon|all the heroes survived the film's events]]}}.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* Almost every single fanfic for ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' released since its cancellation has been a continuation, with most opting for a [[Fix Fic]] approach with John getting together with Cameron.
* Several ''JAG'' fanfics take place after the series finale, including ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2398984/1/Life_for_a_Life Life for a Life]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2740349/1/The_Cabal The Cabal]'', and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2976062/1/Face_on_the_Milk_Carton Face On the Milk Carton]''.
* ''[[Forever Knight]]'' got two fanfic virtual continuations: ''[[FK4]]'', a [[Script Fic]] series which [[retcon]]ned the [[Downer Ending]], and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20121019134042/http://www.fkfanfic.com/v4s/index.htm V4S]'', a prose series that took the ending as canon and continued in a darker vein.
* ''[[The Tenth Kingdom]]'' has one in the fanfic ''[[Reality]].''
* "Post-Gauda Prime" has been a [[Blake's 7]] staple for 30 years now, postulating that the crew was shot with stun guns, that it was some kind of loyalty test, or that it wasn't Blake that got shot at all.
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* ''[[Go Not Gently]]'' continues the story of ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' so deftly, and with such thematic follow-through, that you'd wish it ''was'' canon if it wasn't [[Tragedy|so sad]].
* Several fan fictions based off of '[[Mother 3]]'' focus on after Lucas {{spoiler|has pulled the last needle and awakens the Dark Dragon}}. Most of these relate to the main cast {{spoiler|adjusting to the new world that has been created}} while others touch on the characters' relationship(s) with each other, such as Kumatora's friendship/relationship with Lucas or Duster. A couple have involved {{spoiler|Claus actually surviving the end of the world}}.
* There are also a few that take place between ''[[
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3644750/1/Ocarina_of_Time_II_Parallel_Symphony Parallel Symphony] is one of many fanfics that pick up after ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', in this case telling the tale of {{spoiler|the young Link who was sent back to the past}}.
* Also in the universe of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' is [[The Legacy of Hyrule]], which picks up with the sages, three years after the end of the battle with Ganondorf.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:

* The Gargoyles Saga, which picked up where the series ''[[Gargoyles]]'' left off.
* The ''[[Kim Possible]]'' fanfic community really blossomed into an all-out industry when the [[Grand Finale]] aired, with hundreds of stories picking up right after the junior prom, many very conscious attempts to be as [[Original Flavor]] as possible. Then the series was [[Uncancelled]], and the vast bulk of those stories were contradicted by season 4. Now, after the new [[Grand Finale]], it's all
* Many ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' fics are being written about the fate of Azula after she lost her mind. And Zuko's quest to find his mom. Maybe some stuff about the defeated
* ''[[Azula Trilogy]]'', intended as both canon
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' also has quite a lot of this, jumping off from two timelines to make it even more complicated; usually it involves mishaps in Time and Space. Oddly enough, ''DP'' didn't leave any threads dangling and left very little to say "what then?" about.
** What about [[Dating Catwoman|Valerie Grey]]? In the episode before ''Phantom Planet'', she discovered that Vlad Plasmius and Vlad Masters were the same person, and vowed revenge as she flew away. Then she gets little more than a cameo in ''Phantom Planet'', and seems to have nothing to say about the revelation that Fenton and Phantom are one-and-the-same. [[Fanfic Fuel|Fanfic Fuel, anyone?]]
** Not to mention [[Opposite
* There is a series of photocomics depicting events after the conversion of Cybertron at the end of ''[[Beast Machines]]''. The series begins with a story entitled "Obsidian's Lament", which picks up with Vehicon generals Obsidian and Strika where the series left them, in orbit around Cybertron. From there it explores the effects of the reformatting on Cybertron and the population.
* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' has a large selection of "Season 5" stories on Fanfiction.Net.
* Depending on how long it takes for a ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]'' postseason special to air, assuming it airs at all, we're going to be in for a lot of fanfics that cover the events of a final aftermath special. Which will all eventually be [[Jossed]] by the real special.
* Most [[Galaxy Rangers]] fanfic is set after the series
* ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'' has multiple "season 3" fanfics, including [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8442108/1/AEMH-Season-3-FanFic|this one], for example.
** ''[[Hawkeye: The Series]] is probably one, as well as a continuation of [[Wolverine and the X-Men]] and [[The Batman]].
* ''[https://my.w.tt/woY1F272ST Final Stand of Death]'' picks up sometimes after ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'' with many of the survivors seeing a group of [[Mecha]]s searching for the undisputed champion, [[Marilyn Manson]], for one more battle. Note: This handles the original, NOT the 2006 revival.
