Line 36:
* Possibly the [[Older Than Radio|oldest example]] and best example of this is [[Sherlock Holmes]].
* ''[[Misery]]'' is one of the most known fictional examples. And surely the [[Nightmare Fuel|scariest one]].
* Referenced in the ''[[Thursday Next]]'' books - in this case, it isn't that the fans want Emperor Zhark to not be [[Killed Off for Real]], but Zhark himself visits the author from the fictional universe and... persuades him not to do it.

Line 51:
* If he hadn't been so wildly popular, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Shadow]] would still be dead by now. He showed up in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' as a [[Criminal Doppelganger]] and became a [[Dragon with an Agenda]] to [[Big Bad|Dr Eggman.]] He was also a badass who pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] and sacrificed himself to [[Heroic Sacrifice|save the world.]] Then, Sega [[Sonic Heroes|brought him back]] and [[Broken Base|split the fanbase again.]]
* Axel from the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series was supposed to die at the end of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'''s prologue. But he had a lot of fans (including many members of the development team) and he wound up surviving and taking a [[Demoted to Extra|small role]] in the main storyline of the game.
* In ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'', Bioware originally planned for {{spoiler|Imoen to become [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] due to Irenicus' torture in ''Shadows of Amn'', forcing CHARNAME to [[Mercy Kill]] her.}} When this information was leaked, fan outcry convinced them to spare {{spoiler|her}}.
* Once fans of ''[[Tekken]]'' heard that Kazuya had been killed in the third game's backstory (the game hadn't really come out yet at this point, mind you), clamors for his restoration apparently began very quickly, very strongly. Ultimately, Namco acceded to this demand by revealing Kazuya's continued existence in Eddy's ending for the Playstation version. Then he returns full blown in Tekken 4 and has been a mainstay again.
* [[Mega Man X]] was going to be the villain of the first ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' game instead of a [[Cloning Blues|copy]]. This concept was scrapped during the last month before release because the developers thought X becoming a villain and being killed by Zero wouldn't sit well with the kids who played his games and thought he was a hero.

* Subverted in ''[[
* In ''[[College Roomies from Hell]]'', during the Blue Mushroom arc, Dave's soul was stolen by the devil. Fan outcry on the forum was so great that the cartoonist invented the Miraculous Shotgun in order to save him.
Line 63:
* Mottis, the creator of ''[[Bunny Kill]]'', has stated this to be one of the possible ways {{spoiler|Ruby}} can return.
* [[The Cinema Snob]] created [[Eighties Dan]] as a one-off gag for his ''[[Caligula]]'' review, but fans really took to him, and he ended up appearing in an episode of ''Brad Tries...''
** Eighties Dan has his own show now.
