* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'': The story's 1st Anniversary chapter, which takes place months after the main story ends, features an illusion-based stageplay about Neo Arcadia; Leviathan interacting freely with Caramel Mocha, whom she hasn't met yet and has expressed thanks for assisting her with something; and Levi having a sleepover at Gray's apartment, with Ebony having sufficiently overcome her pediophobia. According to the author, whether or not any of this takes place in the story's canon is dependent on how events turn out from the battle with Glintlock onward, as he has not decided what Leviathan's ultimate fate in the story will be.

* This is the default assumption for things in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' that aren't explicitly tied to a specific campaign setting or story: if a monster book introduces a new monster, that ''might'' exist in any given campaign setting, but it's pretty likely that this monster will never be referenced again, so it's really up to the DM whether it does. For instance, 3rd Edition introduced an entire distinct magic system in the book ''Magic of Incarnum'', with four different races and three distinct classes all tied to it, which was largely ignored by subsequent books and stories. Nothing has ever outright claimed that incarnum doesn't exist in any given setting, but there's also nothing that's referenced it.

One series might also vaguely reference a character from another, such as Bunnidharma from ''Paws of Destiny'' talking about Ke-Pa, who's a ''Legends of Awesomeness'' exclusive villain, making it very unclear how much continuity they're really supposed to share.

Modes like this may not be the "canon" telling of their stories, but can be considered canon elements that ''could'' have happened if things played out differently, and affect later installments accordingly.

* The fifth case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'', "Rise From the Ashes", generally stays on the outside of the overall continuity of the original trilogy of games. This is because it was produced for the DS version of the first game -- a release after the [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations then-final game]] originally released in 2004, concluding the original trilogy. It's definitely canon because Ema Skye, the sidekick character from that case, later appears as an adult following the TimeSkip leading into ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'' but this is generally the only element of the case that ever extended to anything beyond its own events.

* The ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles: Saturday Morning Adventures'' comic is made entirely of episodic standalone adventures that can more or less take place at some random points of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 '87 cartoon]], given that its continuity is pretty loose anyway. Issue #1 is the easiest one to determine when, [[ContinuityCavalcade since villains from all the pre-Red Sky seasons are referenced there]], but that's the extent of it.
