* An interesting case when it comes to the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' cast and other related fandoms; as the characters in the roleplay [[TheDanza share their names with the content creators playing them]], there's occasionally confusion regarding whether certain fanfic is being written about the content creators themselves or the characters they play (and there's plenty of both). As the series goes on and CerebusSyndrome sets in, the authors usually clarify and actively differentiate whether their fics are about the characters or the creators behind the screen.
** Notably, a SlashFic shipping two members of the server (LetsPlay/{{Dream}} and LetsPlay/GeorgeNotFound) became so popular that it managed to induce a ColbertBump on the song it was named after ("Heat Waves" by Music/GlassAnimals), leading to it becoming the best-performing single of 2022 according to ''Billboard''.

->''"While browsing Website/LiveJournal for Sharks icons, I found this multi-part epic about [Evgeni Nabokov] and Joe [Thornton] getting it on. Didn't read much (RPS ain't exactly my cup of tea), but apparently it revolved around the playoffs last year and the two of them comforting each other after the Sharks were eliminated. And by comforting, I mean butt sex."''

* Pairing ''Series/AmericanIdol'' judges and contestants is also common, especially [[PortmanteauCoupleName Saula]] (Creator/SimonCowell and Music/PaulaAbdul.) There's even an entire Website/LiveJournal community dedicated to same sex idol/idol {{fanfiction}}. (Kris and Adam was probably a field day for them.)

* An interesting case when it comes to the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' cast; as the characters in the roleplay [[TheDanza share their names with the content creators playing them]], there's occasionally confusion regarding whether certain fanfic is being written about the content creators themselves or the characters they play (and there's plenty of both). Often, the authors have to clarify which it is.

* Music/{{Rush}}-- yes, the Canadian prog band-also has a fandom with surprising amounts of horny fangirls eager to ship (the typical Rush fan is AlwaysMale). Geddy and Alex, being HeterosexualLifePartners, are the ones most often shipped.

* Around the early 2000s, there was a glut of fics about [[Literature/TheDiaryOfAnneFrank Anne Frank]]. One author was [[EveryoneHasStandards so disgusted]] that he parodied the trend with Fanfic/GokuAnneFrankUntilTheEndOfTime - [[ParodyDisplacement which became more well known that the fics it was parodying]].

* Music/SpiceGirls aren't immune to this as sites like [[https://www.wattpad.com/ Wattpad]] have became a favorite for both fanfics and original fics writers. They can range for the basic to DarkerAndEdgier, with the latter being the case... most of the times. ''[[https://my.w.tt/6EJYfWBRtT Into the Dark]]'' is an example such DarkFic, while others like ''[[https://my.w.tt/mtdX5kJRtT Astral Journey: It's Complicated]]'' goes for the AlternateUniverseFic route.

* Music/{{ABBA}} fanfiction has sporadically been a thing throughout the 21st century, particularly on Website/{{Wattpad}}, but the release of ''Music/Voyage2021'' has resulted in a exponential increase of stories on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. Most of it is Frida/Agnetha SlashFic, likely inspired by their interactions on-stage (singing love songs while facing each other and generally engaging in playful behavior that could be taken as flirty).

* Website/{{Literotica}} calls these "Celebrity" fics, and has an entire section devoted to them.
