* Possibly the [[OlderThanRadio oldest example]] of this is Pinocchio from ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'', alongside ExecutiveMeddling. He was going to die hanged, but a lot of children sent letters to the newspaper to revive Pinocchio, and the editor of ''Giornale per il bambini'' made Collodi add more chapters and thus Pinocchio has its famous happy ending.

In fact, about two thirds of the book were actually written ''after'' the original ending, and a great deal of its most iconic scenes and characters (the Blue Fairy, the growing nose, the Dogfish, the donkey-turning...) come from there.

* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel was published for 15 years, and ceased publication after the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' crossover, that destroyed all alternate Marvel universes. Many fans complained about it, so almost all Ultimate characters were eventually reused in the main continuity, and the universe returned at the end of ComicBook/SpiderMen 2.

* Angel (Experiment 624), a character from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', was only intended to be a one episode character. However, once the executives realized she was one of the most popular characters, they brought her back for the last episode and gave her a small scene of her kicking Leroy clone patookie in the GrandFinale ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''. She even became a major character of the franchise thanks to [[Anime/{{Stitch}} the succeeding anime]]. Somewhat doubles as an AuthorsSavingThrow, as her episode put the character on a [[PutOnABusToHell bus to Hell]], which goes completely against the [[BrokenAesop core theme of]] ''[[TrueCompanions ʻohana]]'' [[BrokenAesop that the]] ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' [[BrokenAesop franchise is built on]].

* Sega's ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series was modestly successful in the west, but not enough that Sega put a lot of stock in the series outside of Japan. When the zombie-themed GaidenGame ''Dead Souls'' flopped, Sega appeared to pull the plug on ''Yakuza'' in the west, quietly taking down the English-language website and remaining suspiciously silent about the localization of ''Yakuza 5''. When Sony polled players on what game they wanted to see released most, ''Yakuza 5'' topped the list, so they localized ''5'' and released it as a digital title. Noticing the hype leading up to the release of ''5'', Sega announced that they would localize ''Yakuza 0'' and release it on-disc. With faith in the series outside of Japan restored, Sega also announced international releases of ''Yakuza Kiwami'' and ''Yakuza 6''.
** It's only gotten better for the series as time has gone on. Not only were ''0'', ''Kiwami'', ''6'', and ''Kiwami 2'' released in the West, alongside spin-off ''Judgement'', but the series finally became multi-platform with the PC[=/=]Steam release of ''0'' and ''Kiwiami 1'' and ''2''. More good news came about with the relocalization and re-release of ''Yakuza 3'', ''4'', and ''5'' on [=PS4=]; first as staggered digital releases, then as a physical collection in the West in early 2020. At this point, Yakuza (the main series, at least) has entered a golden age worldwide.
