== Fanfiction ==

* The [[Harry Potter]] example below is implied in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3024797/1/That_Malfoy_Family this] [[Ho Yay|Harry/Lucius Mpreg fanfic]], in which Harry thinks it's very crazy that he's carrying Draco's sibling when they're the same age.

'''Draco:''' If you think that, you haven't seen the Malfoy family tree. ''*shuddering*'' That ''really'' isn't a pretty sight. }}

* A series of short Vampire Knight fanfics (Irit’s Daughter, Gertrude’s Closet, Jocasta at the Crossroads, and Vashti’s Feast) written by Ms Izzy takes the already messed up Kuran family, and tangles it further. The fact that Yuuki’s parents are canonly brother and sister seems tame compared to Ms. Izzy’s version. While the family itself is pretty small, it is impressively tangled, with their unnamed mother being the product of another brother and sister pair, and upon her mother’s death took it upon herself the continue the family line with her own father, giving birth to Rido and Haruka with him. It is further implied that she had conceived Juri with her brother/son Rido, rather than her father/husband. Not bad for a series that’s under 2300 words.

** The entire family tree seen so far can be found [http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5629/homestuckfamilytree.png here]. Note that {{spoiler|John's Dad is the ''only'' person in that family tree who is the result of his parents having sex. And the tree doesn't even mention the growing romance between John's Dad and Rose's Mom...}})

** Vriska sums it up best:

** Not that she has any reason to talk, since the trolls are technically ''all'' part of one [[Tangled Family Tree]] as a natural result of their [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]. Not to mention that the troll players ''also'' fall under [[My Own Grampa]].

*** Speaking of trolls, ''[[It Gets Worse]]''. Although it hasn't been outright stated yet, it is very heavily implied that {{spoiler|Betty Crocker is actually the Troll Empress, who is Feferi's Ancestor. Although there is still [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] and [[My Own Grampa]] going around, it's very likely that Feferi can be considered John and Jade's great-aunt by adoption.}}
