Line 283:
* Kelly McKiernan, once an administrator/webmaster for the ''[[Bionicle]]'' fansite and forum [[BZ Power]], was temporarily hired by [[LEGO]] (the makers of ''[[Bionicle]]'') in 2007 to serve as webmaster for the official ''Bionicle'' while the then-current webmaster was on maternity leave. Even after the main webmaster returned to work in 2009, he stayed on at [[LEGO]] as the toy line's co-webmaster.
== [[Video Games]]
* Tigole and Furor, or Kaplan and Alex Afrasiabi respectively, were famous as elite ''[[EverQuest]]'' guild leaders. Both were hired by Blizzard to work on ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' as game designers.
* Dave "Fargo" Kosak, artist of a ''[[World of Warcraft]]''-inspired webcomic, ''[[Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth]]'', was hired to become ''[[World of Warcraft]]'''s lead quest designer.
Line 344:
** [[Shizuka Ito]] follwed suit, working really damn hard to set herself a role in [[Super Robot Wars]], doing several roles in the [[Mecha]] genre before getting a role as an [[Original Character]] in [[Super Robot Wars NEO]]. Now if she wants a role in Gundam Generation, she will have to be voicing at least one role in Gundam (Only one voice actor of the original cast didn't had a ''Gundam'' related role. Everyone else did at least one major Gundam Role in their careers)
** [[Akeno Watanabe]] also got similar treatment, landing the role of [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Ibis Douglas]]
* The [[Pinball]] industry has Lyman F. Sheats, Jr., who was one of the best pinball players during his time, and, after a stint of programming games at Data East Pinball, he went to Williams/Midway to program Brian Eddy's ''Attack from Mars'' and ''Medieval Madness''. Currently, he works as a programmer at Stern Pinball, the last remaining pinball company in the U.S.▼
* After the ''[[Halo]]'' IP was given to 343 Industries, the writers of the ''Halo''-related blog ''Ascendant Justice'' got hired to work on several articles on ''Halo Waypoint'' concerning ''Halo'' canon.
** Frank O'Connor, head of 343 Industries, is a specific example - he started off as a ''Halo'' fan, and is now practically in charge of the ''Halo'' canon, and was the general director for ''[[Halo Legends]]''.
Line 371 ⟶ 370:
* [[UberHaxorNova]]'s long running [[Happy Wheels]] series got the creator's attention and had him voice a new character.
* Randall "Frigidman" Shaw, who produced several network maps for ''[[Marathon]] 2'', as well as later contributing to the total conversion ''EVIL'', was hired to do the [[Brutal Bonus Level|Vidmaster's Challenge]] levels for ''Infinity'', along with some of its multiplayer maps.
