It's well known that [[Epileptic Trees|wild fan theories]] are prone to being [[Jossed]].
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
Compare with [[Ascended Fanon]], where the author canonizes the crazy fan theory in response to the fans. Also compare [[Belated Happy Ending]].

{{examples}}
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', many fans were trying to predict the Espada numbers before the release. Eventually, only three numbers remained unknown, and many fans correctly guessed who had the ranks of 1, 2, and 3.
** There were also a lot of jokes flying around that {{spoiler|Yammy was actually the 0 espada, who was really the most powerful. Guess what..?}}
Line 106:
== Fan
* A [[Fanfic]] of ''[[The Class Menagerie]]'' was written depicting Mikey as gay. As it turned out, he is. As a touch of [[Sure Why Not]], a scene from the fanfic was used in the actual strip.
** Of course, given the popularity of [[Slash Fic]], something like this is inevitable whenever a character comes out of the closet.
* ''[[My Immortal]]''. Author Tara Gilesbie successfully predicted how the book series will end. This led to many a [[Wild Mass Guess]] about her being J.K. Rowling. If that were true, it would have to be the greatest [[troll]]ing of fandom ever.
* Melindaleo correctly guessed in her fanfic ''[[The Seventh Horcrux]]'' that {{spoiler|Bill and Fleur's wedding would end in an attack, the tiara in the Room of Requirement was Rowena Ravenclaw's and a horcrux, Remus and Tonks would die, one Weasley brother would die, and several other things}}.
** Also, Dumbledore was [[Ambiguously Gay]] on ''[[Potter Puppet Pals]]'' for years before the
* The ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' fanfic 'The Father-Son Talk', which can be found in the fanfic recommendations, correctly predicted that {{spoiler|Greed would separate from Ling}}.
* ''[[iCarly]]'' had a Spencer/Sam fanfic written called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7061696/1/The_Way_They_Are The Way They Are]. It predicts side character/EnsembleDarkhorse Gibby being promoted to the main cast, and that Sam has a crush on Spencer. Written a year before either of those events happened, with both being very unlikely until they happened.
* The ''[[My Little Pony:
{{quote|'''Luna''': [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|"EUREKA! I AM THE GODDESS OF MATH ONCE AGAIN!]] [[Evil Laugh|MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"]] *[[Dramatic Thunder]]*}}
* ''[[A Growing Affection]]'' made a habit of this:
** Naruto's mom had a similar personality? Check.
** Attacking with a multitude of miniature Rasengans? Check.
Line 123:
* The whole plot of the ''Zelda'' story ''[[Til the Sun Grows Cold|Til the Sun Grows Cold and the Stars Grow Old]]'' (which was written before ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' had even been announced) revolves around the notion that Link and Zelda are the same souls repeatedly reincarnated over several lifetimes. Guess what [[Word of God]] confirmed in late 2011/early 2012?
* ''[[Total Drama Chris]]'' had Chris treating the contestants especially cruelly, far more extreme than he was on the actual show... for the time, at least. A few years later, by the time ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama Revenge of the Island]]'' started airing, though, Chris' sinking to such depravity has become completely canon.
* The infamous fan
Line 137:
** Everyone knew Regulus Black... the impressive people knew immediately after reading the initials (based on the locket found in his home early in the 5th book, obsessive readers were able to recall that easily). Everyone else knew because the Internet let them compare notes with other languages' editions—the initials were R.A.S. where the Black family's name was translated to Svaart, R.A.M. where it was Musta, etc.
** The bartender in the Hog's Head being Dumbledore's brother.
** John Noe of ''[[
** It was predicted early in the series that {{spoiler|Harry would marry Ginny and Ron would marry Hermione.}} People who were [[Genre Savvy]] enough probably figured this out about halfway through ''Philosopher's Stone'' -- {{spoiler|[[First Girl Wins]], both for Ron and Harry.}}
** The entirety of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvvFiZyEyTA Accio Deathly Hallows.] Honestly. I feel the need to mark this entire thing as a spoiler.
