* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has an extremely odd example, since the "fans" in question are in fact the actors themselves. The US English dub cast, headed by [[Vic Mignogna]], produced a fan-film called ''Fullmetal Fantasy'' some years ago. Vic took it to a couple of conventions (and was working through all the proper channels to get permission for a DVD) before the legal people asked him to stop. After a couple of years, he was told that there was no way there'd be an official release, but he could start running it at conventions again '''if and only if''' it never ended up online. So he does still show it at cons, but relates this story beforehand and makes the fans present promise not to videotape and upload it. So far, so good.
* Yamakan's adaptation of ''[[Fractale]]'' seem to have detered many fans from drawing [[Rule 34]]. To the horror of some fans.
* Neither Kishimoto nor Viz Media has ever taken action to shut down ''[[Naruto]]'' fan works, and Shonen Jump publishes Fan Art of all its regulars, ''Naruto'' included. However, even though they have a section on the official website for Fanfics and Fan Art, it is against the rules of the forum to publish a fan work using trademarked characters. [[Epileptic Trees|They must be serious about avoiding cross-pollination between fan ideas and official material.]]
