* The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' fanfic ''A Rose And A Thorn 4'' features a character going back in time to save the Ark. Despite knowing everything that can happen, she still cannot stop the destruction of the Ark or the death of Maria. It all happens anyway, so Sonic Adventure 2 happens anyway.

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfiction will unfailingly reproduce the first six volumes of the manga, despite Ranma having been born female, travelling with his [[Rogues Gallery]] as frienemies, having acquired a different curse, having not actually gone on the training trip, having learned god-smackingly-powerful magic instead of [[Martial Arts and Crafts]], et al.

* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' is an inversion of this... it isn't the Fanfic that needed the nail, it was ''Canon''.

Probabably best summed up with the line

* ''[[Nights in the Big City]]'' includes [[Alternate Universe]] versions of dozens of major and minor ''[[Kim Possible]]'' characters, even though its [[Alternate History]] diverged at least a century and a half ago (one character [[Cryptic Background Reference|mentions]] Robert E. Lee as a [[American Civil War|"Blue" (Union)]] stalwart who went on to become the 17th President).
