== General ==
* Many fanfics out there have female characters being brutally raped, abused and tortured and that this is treated as being perfectly normal, loving behavior in a relationship. [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls]]. Think about it.
** And there's a [[
** [[Stalking Is Love]] and even [[Victim Falls For Rapist]] are certainly present in professional fiction, but they are hardly endemic, especially more recently. Fanfiction features it to the point where it is considered unusual for a piece of fiction with a major fanfiction community to not possess big steaming piles of it.
** 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.
== Other Examples ==
* 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.
*** Yes, as the pilot. But the pilot doesn't land the shuttle, the commander does.
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7126756/1/Escape_From_Never_Never_Land This Harry Potter fic] has a girl frozen at ten by her grandmother. The fridge horror is named a few chapters in when it's mentioned she looks like her grandmother. Her possibly insane grandmother who was also dying. {{spoiler|Who would bind her hands with magic if she had to scratch her shoulder}}. You gotta wonder why she chose to keep a child at the age she looks most like her....

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.
* Spare for the folks in ''[http://fav.me/dd7ow55 Case of the Missing Technology]'' after what was done to [[Girls Aloud| Kim and Nicola]], then later to [[Spice Girls| Melanie C]]. All they could do was finish the job that was done as there wasn't else that can be done.
