History HypotheticalCasting / FanWorks

** Most of the 48 voice actors from the existing short would once again return to reprise their characters, including Creator/JodiBenson as [[WesternAnimation/{{TheLittleMermaid}} Ariel]], Creator/PaigeOHara as [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]], Creator/NathanLane as [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Timon]], Creator/JeremyIrons as Scar, Creator/KristenBell as [[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen}} Anna]], Creator/IdinaMenzel as Elsa and Creator/DwayneJohnson as [[WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} Maui]]. Tom Hulce would also return as [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo]]. The [[FakeShemp archival outtakes]] of Creator/RobinWilliams as [[Franchise/{{Aladdin}} the Genie]] would also be retained.

*** Interestingly enough, Morrison would be the third major ''Franchise/StarWars'' alumni returning; the other two being Jennifer Hale and Creator/KellyMarieTran.

Naturally, fanfic authors have their own ideas about what various characters (both original characters and pre-established ones) should look and/or sound like.

** Creator/KateHiggins and Creator/LindaLarkin also return as [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Aurora]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]], respectively, with Brad Kane and Lea Salonga reprising Aladdin and Jasmine's singing voices.
** Creator/ErnieSabella also returns as [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Pumbaa]], whose voice was noticeably absent in the original.

Tom Hulce would also return as Quasimodo. The [[FakeShemp archival outtakes]] of Creator/RobinWilliams as [[Franchise/{{Aladdin}} the Genie]] would also be retained.

** Prince Charming is reprised by [[Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes Chris Daniel Barnes]], who has been his main voice actor since 2001; instead of Creator/KeithFerguson who did Charming's one line in the existing version of the short. This may be a result of Charming's role being increased considerably. Barnes also reprises his role as [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Prince Eric]]; a major case of ActingForTwo.

** Creator/JenniferHale remains as WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s voice, and Music/MandyMoore as [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel's]]. Their role is expanded considerably as they both start up up the new rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star", with Raps starting the song off on her guitar, and Cinderella singing the opening lines, before handing over to Belle and the Beast. [[BeautifulSingingVoice Hale's singing voice as Cinderella is surprisingly beautiful]], which makes her a perfect fit to start; and could make this her finest hour as Cinders if it was ever realized. Moore also gets to start up the final verse as Rapunzel alongside Eugene, Ariel, Eric, Aladdin and Jasmine, while also singing a duet with Eugene near the end.

** Creator/TemueraMorrison also returns in another rare appearance as WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'s father, Chief Tui; which would be his first time reprising the role since the original ''Moana'' in 2016. Morrison would also provide Tui's singing voice, instead of Creator/ChristopherJackson.

** Likewise, [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] is reprised by Katherine Von Till, who has been her main voice actress since 2010, instead of Natalie Babbitt Taylor who did the role in the original short.

* ''Recap/DiaryOfAnAnalog'' has the heavily alluded to [[https://wikimon.net/Darkdramon Darkdramon]] as being cast with Creator/DavidKaye in mind, as mentioned at the end of Chapter 9 when Darkdramon's dialogue is shown for the first time. Special mention going to the voice he uses for [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Hardshell]], and the ActorAllusion present with a drawn out, hammy "Yesss" not being there simply for the sake of a reference to ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' Megatron, but also because ''Hardshell himself'' made the exact same ActorAllusion in [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS2E15Toxicity his debut episode]].

** Creator/ErnieSabella also returns as Pumbaa, whose voice was noticeably absent in the original.
** Creator/TemueraMorrison also returns in another rare appearance as Moana's father, Chief Tui; which would be his first time reprising the role since the original ''Moana'' in 2016. Morrison would also provide Tui's singing voice, instead of Creator/ChristopherJackson.

** Creator/ChristiaBale as Beren Barahirion (appearing courtesy ''Treasure Island'', ''Little Women'')

** Creator/PatrickSeitz as the English voice for Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in "The Ideal Hero" story arc, though Mike Pollock still voices him otherwise.

* The Website/{{Wattpad}} posting of ''Fanfic/TheFirstSaniwa'' boasts a hypothetical live-action cast rather than voice cast, which features most of the characters as played by actors portraying them in the games' official live-action adaptations (except Higekiri who's supposed to be played by Masaki Okada as opposed to the official Hiroki Miura who already plays Hiromasa). The casting for {{Original Character}}s and canon characters who haven't appeared in live action is as follows:

** Creator/SarahWilliams as Serena Watson/[[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Blue Mystic Ranger]]

** {{LetsPlay/Markiplier}} as Neo-Kiros

** Norman Lovett as the MTM

* ''The Geeky Zoologist'''s [[Fanfic/JurassicWorld2020 reimagining of Jurassic World]] features the following casting list for a part of the story's original characters

* The ''Series/{{Arrow}} fic ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11075217/chapters/24701451 Guardians of Star City: Season 1]] features a cast list the author is personally picturing, but he encourages readers to stick the show's actors if they so desire. Most of the characters ''are'' played by the same actors in they are in the show, the changes (explanations for why such changes were made are provided) are:

*** Creator/AkioOhtsuka as Stankou.

** Jordan = Sarah Natochenny

** Creator/JustinBriner: Arnold (voice of [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midoriya]] and [[Machinima/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged Cloud Strife]])

* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Harry, and by extension Thor's [[HumanShifting James Potter form]], is fancast as Creator/TomWelling. The CastingGag inherent in this is an early hint at the link between Krypton and Earth (though all it boils down to is Odin giving a nod to the House of El, with the first Kal-El being his foster brother) - though WordOfGod has noted that Harry is changing to resemble his mother more as he ages, suggesting that he's growing into something closer to Creator/HenryCavill or Creator/PierceBrosnan. Other characters are also cast:

** Lily Potter [[spoiler: a.k.a. the White Phoenix of the Crown]] - Creator/BryceDallasHoward

** Jean Grey [[spoiler: and Maddie Pryor/Rachel Grey]] - Creator/JaimeRayNewman

* On the FANDOM wiki for ''Fanfic/TokimekiPokeLiveAndTwinbee'', the author has listed some VAs/Seiyuu for characters on their wiki pages. Some examples include:
