* ''Literature/ACourtOfThornsAndRoses'':
** Some fans of Anne Bishop's ''Literature/BlackJewels'' series don't have the highest opinion of ''A Court of Thorns and Roses'' due to perceiving the latter as ripping off many elements from the original ''Black Jewels'' trilogy. Admittedly, there are some similarities between the two works that seem too alike to be a coincidence and for what it's worth, Sarah J. Maas herself has stated she is a fan of the ''Black Jewels'' series. Some readers don't mind the similarities too much and see it more as Maas just taking inspiration from earlier works she likes (she'd hardly be the first author to do so), but others are less forgiving and see it less as inspiration and more as bordering on plagiarism.
** ''The Plated Prisoner'' by Raven Kennedy can be considered this for its similarities to ''A Court of Thorns and Roses'' (fae romance with a toxic RomanticFalseLead and an AntiHero romance). On the flip side, there are readers who say Raven Kennedy managed to take the basic plotline and make it ''better''. It’s often argued that there’s less of a grey area in The Plated Prisoners' RomanticFalseLead, as while there are humanizing moments, he’s just a bastard who happily uses the heroine to get up in the world. Whereas Tamlin, arguably, is simply reacting to present-day trauma and isn’t given a chance to cope. They also argue that the series true LoveInterest is more of a feminist ally than Rhysand ever was, by respecting the heroine’s autonomy at every step and never using cruel or manipulative tactics under the guise of “helping” the heroine to get what he wants. Of course, that being said, there is also quite a bit of FriendlyFandoms at play with readers liking both series ''because'' of their similarities.

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' versus ''Literature/HisDarkMaterials'' serves as a microcosm for Christianity versus atheism. On the ''Narnia'' fans' side, it was primarily caused by the author of ''His Dark Materials'' loudly criticizing the ''Narnia'' series. You can't say stuff like that without causing a fandom war, folks.

** There was some animosity between ''Harry Potter'' and ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fans due to a misconception that ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' character Ponder Stibbons (and the Unseen University as a whole) copied ''Harry Potter'' (and Hogwarts), or the other way around. In reality, Creator/TerryPratchett said that Creator/JKRowling is a friend of his. (And besides, Ponder appeared years before.)

Pratchett also pointed out that like many mythological or fantasy components appearing in their respective fiction, the concept of a school or college for magic-users goes back for ''thousands'' of years.

** There's ''Potter'' vs. ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Never has such a fandom rivalry been so whipped up by the ''media itself''. ''Twilight'', like ''Potter'', is something of a literary phenomenon, and its [[FilmOfTheBook movie adaptation]] stars a ''Harry Potter'' [[Creator/RobertPattinson alumnus]], so the two were constantly compared. They really have nothing in common though, apart from both being children's/young adult's fantasy series.

Fans of ''Battle Royale'' aren't happy about how [[ItsPopularNowItSucks much more popular]] ''Hunger Games'' is and frequently accuse Suzanne Collins of having ripped off ''BR'' while writing her series, an accusation that ''HG'' fans counter by noting that ''BR'''s plot itself [[OlderThanTheyThink isn't all that original]] (see ''Literature/TheRunningMan'', ''Literature/TheLongWalk'' and GladiatorGames in general). Moreover, Collins herself has stated that she had never heard of ''Battle Royale'' until her publishers brought it up to her, and the inspirations for ''The Hunger Games'' were the legend of the Minotaur in the Labyrinth and the MoodWhiplash that came from channel-surfing between horrifying news of war and superficial reality television.
