** According to various fandom-related comms, and confirmed by ''academic analysis'' (Camille Bacon-Smith's ''Enterprising Women'' being one of the first to spot the trend), a surprising percentage of fanfic authors who write rape do it because they've ''been'' raped themselves, and either it helps them get through the trauma, or they have a tendency to put personal experiences into their writing, or some other linking factor. So all decent rape fics, and at least some of the badly-done rape fics as well, carry a significant chance it ''happened'' to the author. Happy browsing...

** And try making a negative review of one of those fics with this information in mind.

* In the [[Deviant ART]] fanfic "Good Landing", {{spoiler|the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia die on re-rentry but continue as ghosts and don't realize they're dead until they land at Cape Canaveral.}} It's creepy enough to think about how they would have reacted to that, but at least {{spoiler|they were only dead without knowing it for 16 minutes.}} One of the other astronauts (the sorta-protagonist) who's watching mentions how freaked out he was the first time he landed the shuttle. It turns out that he's {{spoiler|the ghost of the Challenger commander. Since he died just after launch, he must have been a ghost when he landed the shuttle. So he and his crewmembers went into orbit and completed a perfect weeklong mission before they came home and found out THEY were dead.}}

** [[Did Not Do the Research]]. {{spoiler|Scobee}} had flown the {{spoiler|Challenger}} once already, before his last mission.

* ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' had a case of the '''author''' suffering a case of [[Fridge Horror]] when he reread the dialogue of the villainous Psyko. Given that Psyko is a [[Complete Monster]] whose powers centre around [[Mind Rape]], the author was more than a little unnerved to see how much [[Foe Yay]] made it into Psyko's conversations with his [[Arch Enemy]] Sleepwalker.

* ''[https://www.wattpad.com/story/173566505-final-stand-of-death Final Stand of Death]''... Fusion Gundam gives details of their human end while on "[[Celebrity Deathmatch|DeathBowl 98]]", especially Spur. Add the concept of ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'', their mission, and [[Marilyn Manson]]... well, it's hard to believe how calm they were explaining it.
