== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In German-speaking fandom of Disney's Duck comics, the two ways of analyzing the stories are called ''Donaldismus literaricus'' (which treats the work of Carl Barks and others as works of art and literature) and ''Donaldismus archaeologicus'' (which treats them as factual reports from the Earth-like planet called ''Stella Anatium''—the Star of the Ducks). In the [[Fun with Acronyms|D.O.N.A.L.D.]] (''Deutsche Organisation Nichtkommerzieller Anhänger des lauteren Donaldismus'' = German Organization of Non-Commercial Adherents of True Donaldism) the latter tends to dominate. ''[[Donald Duck]]'' comics are [[Serious Business]], definitely.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[My Apartment Manager is not an Isekai Character]]'': One character was magically twinned the in-universe day after she arrived. The Watsonian explanation is that she was alone, surrounded by people she was accustomed to thinking of as enemies, and desperate for somebody to talk with who understands her; the Doylist explanation is that two writers wanted to write the same character.
** Similarly, [http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=14519 one short-short story] was written to give a Watsonian explanation for why [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] doesn't appear in the setting (despite being admirably suited to it), when the Doylist explanation is simply none of the authors wanted to write anything with her and her supporting characters.
