Line 62:
* ''[[A Wrinkle in Time]]'', in addition to all the science fiction elements not explored in great detail (the history of the [[Individuality Is Illegal|planet]] [[Dystopia|Camazotz]], the [[Another Dimension|2-dimensional planet]], etc.), there's also the specific story of the project Meg's father was working on (with the tesseract) and what happened to the first man who tried to tesser. He's mentioned ''very'' briefly, when Meg's father is giving Calvin some of the backstory about the project. He left successfully, but they never found out what happened to him (and none of the sequels give any indicator, either).

* Given that it's a show about [[Time Travel]], ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has ''lots''. {{spoiler|[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E13 The Big Bang|Rory's more than 1,800 years guarding the Pandorica]]}} and [[Doctor Who/Recap/S30/E17 E18 The End of Time|the Doctor's time with Queen Elizabeth I]] are just the tip of the iceberg; pretty much anything that isn't shown onscreen or in an audiobook/audio drama is game. And sometimes even then.
** [[Doctor Who/Recap/S30/E15 Planetofthe Dead|Lady Christina de Souza]]'s past and future capers, especially now that she has a flying bus, could qualify.
Line 84:
* ''[[iCarly]]'': Everyone's parents. Out of the 6 parents of the main trio (and Spencer, who is Carly's brother), only 1 was shown (Freddie's mom Mrs. Benson), 1 was [[Noodle Incident|referred to]] (Sam's mom) until she showed up in a single episode, Spencer and Carly's dad is in the military and rarely shows up in one-sided phone conversations. This leaves Sam's father, Freddie's father and Carly/Spencer's mother, and they have never even been mentioned.
** Why did Freddie end up in Seattle, or more accurately, why did his mother come to Seattle on her own, with him. Often combined with the father question.
* Similar with the parents of characters from sister show ''[[Victorious]]''. Only Tori and Trina's parents are seen regularly, Jade's dad was mentioned on one occasion, and both Beck's parent's appeared off screen in on episode. Often fics that mention the parents will have Andre's parents dead, Jade's parents either abusive (especially if it's an angsty fic) or just neglectful and uncaring, the latter being more supported by canon. Cat's parents are generally pretty neglectful as well, though just ''how'' neglectful they are depends on the fic. Robbie, being the [[Chew Toy]] and [[The Woobie]] will almost never, ''ever'', have a happy home life, and as of "Locked Up
* It's easy to wonder about all the possibilities for adventure surrounding the concept of the Red Pirates in ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', as they traveled the universe gathering the Ranger Keys.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' gives fans Dean and Sam's entire childhood to deal, Sam's "Stanford Era" is popular, though it doesn't necessarily focus on Sam. The rest of their childhood leaves plenty of questions. Just how much [[Parental Neglect]] did the boys actually suffer? How many schools did they go to? What caused the rift between Bobby and John? The list goes on.
Line 96:
** The fact that we didn't actually see Booth and Brennan [[They Do|finally resolve their]] [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] in "The Hole in the Heart" has been fodder for more than a few fics. One notable(and lengthy, at nearly 200 chapters and still going) fic, "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7177882/1/The_When_and_the_How_bA_b_bBone_b_to_bPick_b The When And The How: A Bone to Pick]", suggests that they didn't actually do the deed while she was staying at his apartment after Broadsky killed Vincent, but sometime a few days later, prior to "The Change in the Game", after dealing with Vincent's death and getting some perspective on what they really mean to each other.
* A surprising number of ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' fics were inspired by the episode "That Old Gang of Mine", specifically one scene where Clark is shot at point blank range by a mobster's bullet. More than a few stories tried to explain how Superman dealt with the possibility that he might never become Clark Kent again, since the rest of the world thought Clark had been killed.
* In ''[[Wednesday]]'', the title character from ''[[The Addams Family]]''
