* Even if you don't [[FanPreferredCouple ship Elsa]] and [[BrotherSisterIncest Anna]] from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', a large portion of the fanbase views Elsa as being [=LGBT=] (typically lesbian) due to her not having an canon male love interest and that Film/Xmen has taught a generation of film-goers that "a secret power that you are forced to hide but then eventually embraces" = Gay. Also due to the fact she appears in a cameo, and Anna resembles her to controversial levels, [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] is often seen as being related to the sisters.

*** Similarly Kovu is often considered Scar's son by many, even if the movie goes out of its way that he is not. Vitani and Nuka are almost across-the-chart considered Scar's daughter, though there's a sum of fans who believe Vitani is Nala's daughter with Scar.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}: Many fics about [[ChildhoodFriends Ren and Nora]] have them [[SleepCute platonically]] sleeping together. This helps to ramp up sexual tension if the fic is romantic, but it's also an extrapolation of the very close partnership they have in canon.

Compare BroadStrokes, where the events of a story are referenced in passing without taking everything said and done as having "officially" happened. If the fanon was repeatedly hinted at by writers until it became fanon, but never actually confirmed in canon, it's WriterInducedFanon. See also FandomSpecificPlot. Not to be confused with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frantz_Fanon this]] Fanon or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_Fanon the Pope's robe]].

* Lord Shen, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'', once had a backstory that involved him being neglected by his parents due to being a sickly albino and left in the care of the Soothsayer, who acted as his nanny. This was ultimately dropped in the final film, but it's rare to find a Shen fanfic that doesn't incorporate it anyway. This is somewhat justified, as the canon interactions between Shen and the Soothsayer do support this, and there's nothing in the film that outright contradicts it either.

* ''WelcomeToNightVale'': Partly as a result of the series suddenly going very viral after a long slow burn, there is a {{Fanon}} interpretation of [[TheNarrator Cecil's]] appearance that many people mistake for {{Canon}}--including living tattoos, tentacles, purple eyes, blond hair, and glasses. Canonically, everything we know about Cecil's physical appearance comes from Kevin's [[SuspectIsHatless non-description]] of his picture during The Sandstom.

** Character appearances have been pretty well cemented by Luke [=McKay's=] fan art, leading most people to believe Caboose is a blonde, Grif and Simmons have brown hair, Tex has red hair, Church has black hair and stubble, etc. While Church's appearance has sort of been confirmed ([[spoiler:the Director indeed looks like an older, even grumpier Luke McKay Church]]), some of the others are definitely not correct (Tucker is implied to be black, unlike Luke McKay's white depiction, and Tex is a blonde... [[spoiler:or at least the original Allison was]]).
