* ''[[Type Moon]]'' productions (which ''resemble'' fanfic) such as ''[[Tsukihime]]'' and ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' have [[Multiple Endings|various]] selectable arcs that act as [[Alternate Continuity]] versions of each other. Different characters survive and thrive in the end.
** In ''[[Tsukihime]]'', all of the "True Endings" usually have a character dying or getting amnesia or something similar; supposedly, the bonus "happy ending" isn't [[Canon]]. The
** In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', in the Heaven's Feel route, you end up with Rider as an ally and Saber as an enemy. The other two arcs have this the other way around. This does not stop fan comics and fics from having ''both'' as Shirou's [[True Companions]] at the same time.
*** In fact, comedic [[Doujinshi]] of ''FSN'' often throw in every single Master, Servant, and minor character, including those such as {{spoiler|Caster}} who don't live through ''any'' of the three paths. They all just have too many fans.
*** Granted, the sequel has everyone (except Kirei, who no one likes) alive. Including someone who was dead at the ''beginning'' of the first game. {{spoiler|Then again, dream world, so...}}
** A good majority of Type-Moon [[Bat Family Crossover]] fanfics depict ''[[Tsukihime]]'' and ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:]]'' as happening in the same universe. Canon however has shown them to be [[Alternate Universe|separate universes to each other]]. [[Justified Trope|In fairness]], it's very likely that some version of the ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:]]'' characters exist in the ''[[Tsukihime]]'' universe and vice versa (with the notable exception of Arcueid -- [[Word of God]] has stated that the [[Our Vampires Are Different|True Ancestors]] don't exist in ''KnK''). Moreover [[Fan Wank|since there are canonically an infinite possible number of realities in the Nasuverse where anything can happen, it is possible for a reality where the events of both canons happened to exist.]]
** Now thanks that to ''Fate/Grand Order'' existence (whose premise is a mix of official [[Bat Family Crossover]] between all the works of the Fate franchise and a [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]), this problem in other nasuverse works fic only increases...
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' fanfiction, particularly those centered around an original trainer, will often use elements from both the games, such as the character facing the Elite Four (not a tournament), and the animé, such as professors routinely handing out the starter Pokémon to new trainers, or the concept of Pokémon only being able to say their names.
** The same can also happen with fics that place undeveloped characters from the games into the animé's continuity. In these cases, it's fairly common for the writer to give the character in question traits from their ''[[Alternate Continuity|Pokémon Special]]'' counterparts, along with what little characterization the game gives them.
