* This is taken to incredibly ridiculous levels in ''HarryPotter'' [[FanFic fanfiction]]. Now, moving the action forward a bit so that Harry starts Hogwarts around the same year the writer turned eleven is one thing; it's not as if any of the books explicitly specify a date, and in any case there must be some fanfiction writers whose parents aren't much younger than Harry would be by now, so wanting to WriteWhatYouKnow as far as pop culture references are concerned isn't going to break WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief all by itself. But fics set in the Marauders' era (canonically the 1970s) seeming to take place in ThePresentDay so as to accommodate AuthorAppeal, on the other hand, is significantly less forgiveable. Even ignoring the timeline, you'd think that ''anyone'' would realize that a movie which came out last year couldn't possibly have been around when Harry's parents were at school... you'd think...
* This can happen sometimes with ''{{Glee}}'' [[FanFic fanfiction]] written in 2012 or 2013 that takes place during season 1 (which would be late 2009/early 2010). It's in recent enough memory that most fanfic writers avoid it fairly easy, but sometimes the fics feature technology, movies or songs that weren't out at that time, or even artists or actors who hadn't made it big yet.
