The tendency for [[Fanfic]] and other fan works to include characters that are homosexual/bisexual/pansexual in an improbably high amount, [[Suddenly Sexuality|even if the original work contains no indication of such a thing]]. Works possessing a [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]] or an [[Fundamentally Female Cast]] are especially susceptible to this, as there's virtually no choice for [[Shipping|shippers]] to avoid this route other than applying a [[Gender Bender]] or [[Rule 63]], or adding in their own original character. Often considered a form of [[Canon Defilement]] and [[Character Derailment]], although obviously those perpetuating it mostly disagree.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]]
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', thanks to there being only one major female character (who happens to be a [[Yaoi Fangirl]]) and the continual [[Ho Yay]] [[Ship Tease]] throughout. Although, the [[Word of Gay]] has only come down for one character.
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', with only two recurring male characters (a [[Dirty Old Man]] and a floating mythical cat thing).
Line 46:
* Endemic in the ''[[Black Butler]]'' fandom, because of all the [[Ho Yay]] (although that isn't a requirement).
* ''[[Bleach]]'' fandom with its [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]] rife with [[Ho Yay]], and the amount of female characters that ''don't'' get any [[Ho Yay]] themselves can be counted on one hand.
* All over the place in the ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' and ''[[
* This is happening more and more in the ''[[Durarara!!]]'' fandom, [[Word of God|much to the author's dismay]]. Which didn't stop said author writing ''their own'' [[Yaoi]] [[Crack Fic]].
* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|The Idolmaster]]'' to the point where some fans were enraged that a male was put into the show as the producer. Being the only male in an otherwise [[Fundamentally Female Cast]] however means he can still be largely ignored.
Line 72:
* ''[[iCarly]]'' has fics where everyone comes out as either outright gay or bisexual. Apart from the [[Fan-Preferred Couple|ever-popular]] Sam and Carly, Spencer often tells the girls that he is bisexual, usually with his best friend Socko, Wendy is often made gay so one of the girls can go out with her as part of the story's drama, Freddie comes out and admits he has a crush on Spencer, as well as admitting his crush on Carly is overcompensating to look normal.
* ''[[Victorious]]'' can have this done, so that Jade can be hooked up with either Cat or Tori, whilst Beck and Robbie give in to their obvious [[UST]] and Trina just goes both ways because she's crazy like that and it lets Cat hook up with her if Tori ends up with Jade. Weirdly, Andre often gets left as the sole straight character.
* Very common in ''[[Law
* Frequently the case in ''[[Glee]]'' fanfiction. This is helped by the fact that the show has numerous canon gay and bisexual characters,<ref>Kurt, Blaine, Santana, Brittany, Karofsky, Sebastian and Sandy</ref> yet in fanfic even the canon straight characters are often shipped in same-sex pairings. For example, one of the most popular couples in the fandom is Rachel/Quinn, both of whom have only shown interest in boys on the show. By contrast, the gay characters are rarely shipped with opposite-sex characters once their sexuality is established on-screen, especially those who've had [[Anvilicious]] [[Coming Out Story
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''. This show, with [[Shipping Goggles]] on, is one big gay playground, and every possibly pairing has its following, even if only as a [[Crack Pairing]]. And don't even get started on the [[Actor Shipping]]; a lot of fans truly believe that Jared, Jensen, and Misha's wives are all [[The Beard|beards]].
