Line 16:
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fanfic commonly mixed concepts from the original television show, manga and whatever localized adaptations the writer saw. One popular character in otherwise [[Original Flavour]] fic was the English dub version of Zoisite (who, in this version, was named Zoycite). Luckily, any use was easy to convey, given this version was ''female'', had a differently spelled name and was more bombastic and emotional.
** Indeed, this was officially done in the [[Gaiden Game]] ''[[Sailor Moon: Another Story]]'', which pieced together anime and manga continuity. The game deliberately addresses this, as the plot is about "rewriting fate" and [[Schrödinger's Cat]] characters would often comment that they "guess it was their destiny to die after all."
* ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/TIA/ Bubblegum Crisis: The Iron Age]'', a current work-in-progress from [http://www.eyrie-productions.com/ Eyrie Productions Unlimited], mix-and-matches versions of the Knight Sabers (and other characters) from both the original ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' and its late-1990s [[Continuity Reboot|reboot]], ''[[Bubblegum Crisis:
* The ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World|El Hazard]]'' manga made after the anime is mostly the "Magnificent World" [[OAV]] plot, and features the version of Ifurita from that version; but it also has some of the TV series' ("The Wanderers") characterization—particularly the younger version of Princess Rune Venus.
* ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' fanfic tends to blur the lines between the various [[Alternate Continuity|Alternate Continuities]] of the series, like the '80s anime version or Adam Warren's Amerimanga.
Line 55:
* On that note, many ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fanfics do the same, using characterizations of characters from the books in a movie setting, or characters from the movies in a book setting.
* Fanfiction for ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' often involves this, which is not surprising considering the many media interpretations. By far, the most common versions involve drawing various pieces from the original novel by Gaston Leroux, the backstory rich Susan Kay novel, and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. This leads to wildly different takes on the story and characters, depending on the percentages used, and it is considered polite to state in the author's notes which versions are being blended.
* Fanfics for ''Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'' tend to mix the original novel with cues from either its animated adaptation of the same name or its Live Action adaptation ''The Untamed'', both having changed plot points or characterization details (the webcomic adaptation, being exactly the novel in illustrated form, is only taken as "visual" cue).
