A work in one medium, that heavily relies on the unique quirks of ''another'', different medium, as if it would try to remind us every time that the story is just adapted from another form.
Line 13:
 
* [[Literature]] to Animation and [[Film]]: Starting with a [[Storybook Opening]], or keeping whole written passages from the original work.
* [[Video Game]] to [[Film]]: Working the [[Multiple Endings]] into the story as parallel universes, or keeping gameplay mechanics like reliance on [[Loot|Looting]]ing [[Healing Potion|MedKits]].
* [[Comic Books]] to Animation and [[Film]]: Dividing the screen to comic book panels, or keeping the onomatopoetic illustrations as effects.
* [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]]s to [[Anime]]: [[Dating Sim Shot|Dating Sim Shots]]s, maybe even with menu options.

== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai|Ore Imo]]'', as [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]]s are a recurring theme in its plot, had choice screens, a [[Bad End]] screen, and at the ending of some episodes, still pictures imitating the style of CGs you get at the ending of a [[Visual Novel]] route.
* Every episode of ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'' begins with long written quotes from the original [[Light Novel|Light Novels]]s.
* ''[[Bakuman。]]'''s [[Show Within a Show|manga within a manga]] was preserved in the anime adaptation as a several minutes sequence of showing still, black and white manga frames, and reading its dialogues.
* In the ''[[Clannad]]'' anime, some of the jokes based on gag options, were conserved as Tomoya having a random [[Imagine Spot]] about what option would he choose if this where a visual novel, and it was shown on screen with an actual scene from the original game. Also, there is this whole thing about the light orbs, that were basically completion points in the game.
Line 63:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' are presented as [[Interactive Fiction]] games.
** And as for ''[[Homestuck]]''... It's styled as [[Interactive Fiction]], originally ''was'' an [[Interactive Comic]] (although that has since stopped), is a webcomic that is in style is reminiscent of an illustrated novel, occasionally includes animated features involving sound, and less commonly involves actual games that range from simple [[Fighting Game|Fighting Games]]s to RPG-style games revolving around interacting with various characters. Homestuck isn't just [[Indecisive Medium]], it's ''[[Serial Escalation|Schizophrenic Medium]]''.
