* The HeroFactory Recon Team was specifically set up by {{LEGO}} as a place where fans can insert their own Hero into the Hero Factory 'verse. ([[MerchandiseDriven And where LEGO can sell custom action figures of said fanfic Heroes, natch.]])

* At the end of the Kyoto Arc of ''RurouniKenshin'', the popular [[TheDragon Dragon]] Soujiro Seta decides to wander around Japan for ten years, much like the title character. Many fics have centered around his adventures during this time.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': One-shot characters [[AntiChrist Damien]], [[RebelLeader Gregory]], [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero The Mole]], and [[TourettesShitcockSyndrome Thomas]] are featured in a number of fanfics - but 99.9% of these are for shipping purposes only.

* ''[[RedVsBlue Red vs. Blue]]'': Pick a Freelancer agent. Any of them. Even the ones that technically haven't been named in the series yet - they're all [[LocationThemeNaming named after states]].

* The adventures of [[RanmaOneHalf Ryouga Hibiki]], he might be an important recurring character, but he also has an ability to [[{{Fanon}} cross oceans and dimensions]] as easily as walking through a door[[note]]In canon, he never actually leaves Japan, more or less his home dimension[[/note]] and more than once makes reference to his own adventures that ''don't'' revolve solely around Ranma. Where does he go, and who does he meet, what wacky adventures does he have on his own. Only fanfic writers know for sure. All we know is he often wears [[DracoInLeatherPants Leather Pants]] during them.

* In {{Doraemon}} - Nobita's Mermaid Legend movie, Princess/[[spoiler:Queen]] Sophia gets more love with Ariel fans from {{Disney/The Little Mermaid}} (by Western Standards, at least.).

* {{iCarly}} featured a one-episode, badass, smoking hot GamerChick named Sasha Striker. She's kinda like Lilah from ''CtrlAltDel'', shares some FoeYay with Spencer, and finishes the show by giving him a big sexy kiss before leaving.

*** ''Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets'' from Luna's point of view - Basically, an origin story for her, since it's before her first appearance in canon, but we retroactively know it would be her first year at Hogwarts.

* The adventures of [[RanmaOneHalf Ryouga Hibiki]], he might be an important recurring character, but he also has an ability to [[{{Fanon}} cross oceans and dimensions]] as easily as walking through a door and more than once makes reference to his own adventures that ''don't'' revolve solely around Ranma. Where does he go, and who does he meet, what wacky adventures does he have on his own. Only fanfic writers know for sure. All we know is he often wears [[DracoInLeatherPants Leather Pants]] during them.

* Robotgirl from {{Robotboy}}. She's only in two episodes, but gets a lot of fan art and YouTube videos.
** Everyone in {{Robotboy}} gets a lot of fanfics after this show no longer shown in North America and Asia after 2008.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has the continuing adventures of Daring Do.

* [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk]]'s nephew Peter Kirk, who appeared in an original series ep but then was never even reffed again outside the ExpandedUniverse, is easily used by fic writers. Usually, he seems to join Starfleet, and rarely does he have anything even remotely approaching the career of his famous uncle. But he could be a farmer, a Locarno/Paris-type, an S31 agent, or the builder of the later Enterprises, because he has no canonical fate beyond being sent to Earth to live with his grandmother in Iowa, and that came from unshot scenes.

* Anything related to "{{Walt Disney}}" has a countless number of fanfics and fanart, no exceptions, this leads to little kids and Disney fans imagining their own "Disney Adventures".

** In ''TheSarahJaneAdventures'' episode ''Death of the Doctor,'' Sarah Jane mentions that she's been looking up other companions online. She mentions Ben and Polly are running an orphanage, Ace is running a charity, etc. Fans assumed that, "running a charity" or "running an orphanage" are like Sarah Jane's title of "Freelance Journalist," a small part of what they do, and possibly a cover for other things. That scene was ripe for a blossoming of ''SJA''-like fanfic spinoffs, with every single companion up for grabs. (Also, the one-time return of Jo Grant and her grandson is a more direct example.)
