History WhatCouldHaveBeen / FanWorks

* ''Fanfic/ANewProblem'': The title was originally going to be "The Final Problem". But was changed to prevent finale baiting and being too similar to the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem finale]]

* Fanfic/FracturedInfinity: The final battle with Kugai's army would originally have several heroes from different franchises appear to help fight the revived enemies, eventually defeating them with the aid of their SuperMode. For space reasons, this was changed to [[Anime/SSSSGridman Alexis Kerib]] doing an involuntary FusionDance with the majority of the villains, requiring a combined assault to defeat. The original idea [[RefittedForSequel was reused in Before the Fractures]].
* ''Fanfic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind'' (''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' & ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''): The author had said that he originally wanted to conclude Celestia's purge of Changelings from Fillydelphia with a scene where a young Chrysalis (who by WordOfGod was in the city during the battle), found Queen Metamorpha's body and swore revenge. The idea was scrapped because it would have made the chapter needlessly long, and that he wanted it to be ambiguous if Chrysalis was simply missed by Celestia's forces--and implicitly [[WouldHurtAChild would have been killed if found]]--or [[WouldntHurtAChild spared for being a child.]]

** Also, Cadence was originally Luna's daughter, but this was cut for pacing issues and [[WifeHusbandry potential issues with her relationship with Shining Armor.]]

* The collaborative fic ''Fanfic/InfinityCrisis'', due to having several authors writing for it, has a lot of this.

** In her commentary for ''Another Side of the Glimpses'', The Pighead noted a lot of ideas for scenes she had at the time who ultimately went scrapped:

* ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'': WordOfGod is that originally the story was going to be set in the first season rather than the second, with Jade becoming Phobos' minion. However, Creator/{{chaotic9}} decided that it would be too OOC for Jade to willingly serve an EvilOverlord, so scrapped that idea and started over.

* ''Fanfic/OutsidersXTrestWhoX'': The author considered several different characters to be added as the SixthRanger in the second season prior to choosing Louise's best friend Henrietta. Mr. Colbert was rejected because they figured the character would naturally want to stay in the lab with Professor Sycamore rather than travel with Louise; none of Louise's family could be brought because they felt Mew wouldn't be callous enough to only bring one of her sisters, and it would be too many characters to juggle; Kirche would have been redundant thanks to them already giving Louise a rival; and Siesta was simply rejected because she was deemed as having less room for character development than Henrietta.
* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'': Originally, [[FauxAffablyEvil Marble]] was going to [[spoiler:turn out to just be [[WickedWitch Actrise]] in disguise]], but so many readers saw this coming that the author changed it [[spoiler:so she was only ''[[DemonicPossession possessed]]'' by Actrise]], taking the opportunity to flesh the character out in the process.
** Originally, Shatterstorm was going to be killed off rather early on, instead of becoming a main character.
** Pinkie Pie was supposed to be the one that Shatterstorm and Spike ran into during their stroll through town, but for the sake of fleshing out the plot, it was made Rarity instead.
** Soarin's first appearance got pushed back for pacing reasons.
** The chapter that introduces Baldwin and Vinyl was meant to be an interlude during the portion of the story when Rainbow Dash and Shatterstorm are dealing with [[spoiler:[[TheCaligula Rose Blade]]]]. However, it ended up moved to be published afterwards.
*** Upon consolidating the volume into a single book, however, the chapter was moved to its originally planned position.
** The author's decision to consolidate the series into a single volume means that all plans for a multi-book style series have been scrapped.
** While consolidating the story, the author came across a set of old notes for the story, and then [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/434592/equestrylvania-the-lost-notes published in a blog]] some of the more notable changes between the original idea and what was written.

* ''FanFic/TheLostKing'': When the story was announced, the author mentioned she was thinking about using either Garon or Arete as viewpoint character, and would base her decision on what the readers wanted. In the end, they asked for Garon.

* ''Fanfic/TheVioletDemon'': In the author's notes for Chapter 3, it's stated that originally, the Irken that's enslaved alongside Gaz was going to be Tenn. This was changed to Tak during planning because the author decided that made more sense.

* In ''Fanfic/BackgroundPony'', Lyra Heartstrings is under a curse that causes any being to instantly forget about her as soon as they look away from her, and all evidence of her existence, even her writing, automatically disappears. In the original plans, Trixie would have been immune to the curse due to her MasterOfIllusion abilities. Her friendship with Lyra would have triggered Trixie's HeelFaceTurn. Eventually, Lyra would have been cured at the cost of forgetting all of her experiences while under the curse, leaving Trixie the only one to remember.
* ''FanFic/TheNuptialverse'': WordOfGod has listed multiple changes that were made to the series from the original plan as time went on:

* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'':

** Michael Weyer noted in a Commentary chapter at the end of the original story that he had contemplated making [[spoiler:the Ancient One really a disguised Mordo]], and thought about having Thanos [[spoiler:reactivate Ultron]], but decided against both as it would overload the story with villains ([[spoiler:and he acknowledged that Ultron would be unlikely to listen to Thanos or his allies and would just start trying to destroy everyone rather than siding with Thanos specifically]]). Other ideas included having Barry and Nyssa among those "dusted"; [[spoiler: Kara rendered powerless but then lifting Thor's hammer to become a Lady Thor; Batman bringing Green Lantern's ring to find a replacement among the Marvel Earth; and Ross trying to arrest all the Avengers at the end only for the President to fire him.]]

*** In Chapter 2, the author originally planned to write a scene in which an alternate Luigi based on the infamous ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'''s beta "Game Over" screen would have saved [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] at the last minute by possessing Jack English' body. Afterwards, he would have told his story to him (he was the Main/SoleSurvivor of a gang of monstrous versions of Mario & Luigi that Jack already slaughtered offscreen), convincing Prime Mario to pursue and stop him. It got changed, as Pighead felt that [[spoiler: the use of the infamous "Backwards Long Jump" glitch served better as Main/{{Foreshadowing}} of her Main/AuthorAvatar' destruction of the icebergs and subsequent CosmicRetcon]].

*** Related to what was said about Martin Brown' introduction, Pighead first intended to do a shorter scene showing Martin sitting in a waiting room before meeting D.E.L.I.L.A.H. and [[spoiler: Trevor Slattery]]. Then, she thought about showing [[spoiler: her fictional self]] being attacked by a bunch of Skrulls and killing them onscreen before going with the final scene as she considers herself bad at writing fight scenes.

*** At one point, Pighead planned to expand a bit on the parts of the narrative related to Creator/{{Valve}} characters, with [[VideoGame/HalfLife Alyx Vance]] (more specifically, [[spoiler: the version of her shown in ''VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx'', qualified in the commentary as a "post-retcon" version of her]]) being freed and hired by [[spoiler: the fictional Pighead]] before showing up in the last chapter to fight Dreadpool. This went unused, as the author admitted she wasn't really interested in doing so.

** Mr. Chaos admitted that he originally planned to have Catelyn believe the Lannisters' offer to [[spoiler: return "Sansa" for Jaime]], leading to a fight that dissolves her marriage with Ned, and results in him marrying Margaery Tyrell. He threw this all out for making no sense.

** He had a very hard time figuring out how to include the Hulk, and was seriously considering leaving it out entirely before a scene in ''Fanfic/AndTheGiantAwoke'' gave him the idea of [[spoiler: Brienne becoming ComicBook/SheHulk]]. And beyond that, he wasn't going to include Bruce and certainly not as the Hulk beyond a brief mention of the source of the powers, but came up with a new idea for a role he could play in Book 3 literally while he was writing the backstory.
** [[spoiler: Sansa escaping the Night Queen by permanently warging into a resurrected Lady]] initially wasn't going to happen until Book 4, but got pushed to the end of Book 2 when he again came up with an idea for how to use it in Book 3 in the middle of writing the chapter.

* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'': Originally, [[FauxAffablyEvil Marble]] was going to [[spoiler: turn out to just be [[WickedWitch Actrise]] in disguise]], but so many readers saw this coming that the author changed it [[spoiler: so she was only ''[[DemonicPossession possessed]]'' by Actrise]], taking the opportunity to flesh the character out in the process.

** The chapter that introduces Baldwin and Vinyl was meant to be an interlude during the portion of the story when Rainbow Dash and Shatterstorm are dealing with [[spoiler: [[TheCaligula Rose Blade]]]]. However, it ended up moved to be published afterwards.

[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'']]

[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]

** Jade's father Shen wasn't originally going to show up in the story. The events of the Mexico City chapter were going to lead directly into [[spoiler: Jade abducting Viper to brainwash and transform her.]] That got pushed back a chapter in order to give Jade a chance to [[CallingTheOldManOut call the old man out]] first.

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfShadows'': In the author's notes for Chapter 19, Creator/EduardKassel explains how some things regarding the Shogunate in the Shadows changed from Creator/{{Nocturne no Kitsune}}'s original plans due to different writing styles. For example, Rosuto was supposed to be TheDragon to Rokutaro due to his underworld connections, but as Eduard couldn't quite grasp writing that concept it was cut, with the position of TheDragon going to Murakami instead as a result (with Eduard admitting this left Rosuto as a FlatCharacter because of now lacking defining traits). Also, Rokutaro and the Weaver were meant to have {{Motive Rant}}s before [[spoiler: their deaths]], but Eduard felt that lacking an explanation for their motives helps better expose how egotistical and petty they are.

*** The story was planned to be focused only on Spike, and went as follows: Spike learns of a magic pool that will let him see anything asked of it. He wants to see his parents, but Twilight forbids him from going, so he runs away. As Twilight searches hopelessly for him for a month before finally giving up, Spike finds the pool guarded by a character who would become the main story's Keeper. He asks to see his mother, and what does the pool show him? [[spoiler: None other than Twilight.]]

** Chapter 36 of Dark World originally had scenes of [[spoiler: Amicita restoring [[RetGone Neo Stream]] to existence and healing/redeeming [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} the Emperor of Man]]]]. However, complaints from [[spoiler: Neo Stream]]'s owner in the former case and pressure from critics in the latter case forced Alexwarlorn to remove both scenes.

* ''FanFic/JusticeLeagueOfEquestria'': The series was originally only supposed to be composed of ''Mare of Steel'', which after the second arc would have dealt with Rainbow Dash/Supermare and the rest of the Mane Six fighting off [[spoiler: Comicbook/{{Darkseid}}]], with the fallout of the battle causing Dash to go into self-imposed exile. After a TimeSkip, this would have led to adaptations of ''Film/SupermanReturns'', ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'', and ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', before the story finally ended. However, the author decided to write an entire series of DCU crossovers, so all this was scrapped, with ''Mare of Steel'' ending after the second arc.

** ''Dark Knight Over Trottingham'' had some story issues, since it technically is the first story in the universe (aside from the [[GreatOffscreenWar War in Heaven]] backstory), particularly over Blueblood's [[spoiler: capture by Zod]]. The author wasn't sure how to make the story work in that timeframe, and even considered retconning the dates. However, thanks to a fan suggestion, he found a way to harmonize the timeline so he didn't have to change the dates.

** The original collaborator wanted the [[spoiler: [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood Star Chan]]]] situation to be a mini-arc several chapters long. The author couldn't make this work, so compressed it all down into a single chapter.
** The original collaborator also originally wanted Jade to immediately be able to summon her own Shadowkhan after [[spoiler: her EmergencyTransformation]], and use them to commit robberies during her time in Gotham, while renting out a luxury villain lair bunker. However, the author felt that that wouldn't fit the story's flow, so Jade getting her own Shadowkhan was pushed back, she ended up having to make a living on her own thievery skills, and she ended up living in [[EldritchLocation Buried Bricks]] instead.

** Emrys would have developed into a PhysicalGod and spent the rest of his very long life teetering on the edge of becoming a FallenHero and a FallenAngel of a sort (his grandfather, Merlin [[spoiler: wasn't merely a Maia. He was the son of two of the Valar, who'd incarnated in mortal form out of curiosity and had been surprised at the results when they hadn't used protection]]) as a result of something Morgoth did to him at the end of the ''From Out of the Shadows''.

** Originally, [[spoiler: Anon e Mouse Jr. had written Professor Bill Neigh's class to include a physics question from the WhatsAHenway page. He changed it after deciding it wasn't as funny as he'd thought it was at first.]]
** [[spoiler: Rex's Fall Formal outfit was originally a ShoutOut to a different character, before Anon e Mouse Jr. decided on the final version.]]
** [[spoiler: Chapter 41 originally began with the group getting picked up in a limo to go to the dance, as in canon, but Anon e Mouse Jr. decided it didn't feel right and skipped straight to the dance. In addition, the entire chapter was going to be from Xvital's point of view, until Anon e Mouse Jr. decided the actual dancing scenes fit better with Night Blade.]]

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio'']]
* ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'': Is an extended version of the short in which WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] are shown to have an increased role in restoring the morale of the other characters and initiating a second attempt at the [[GroupPictureEnding centenary group picture]] after [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Goofy's]] botched first attempt. This version could be seen as a little more melancholy than the original due to a scene on the staircase leading to the Roy E. Disney Animation Building's main reception, where Cinderella, Rapunzel and their respective princess [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome are forced to concede that a major setback of some kind was pretty much inevitable, due to the psychological pressure many of the characters were under that day]]. Cinderella and Rapunzel eagerly take charge of the situation as they head downstairs; Rapunzel and Eugene quickly checking up on Goofy, and Cinderella putting everyone at ease with a RousingSpeech, before Fairy Godmother uses her wand to create a guitar for Rapunzel, which she eagerly uses to start up a new rendition of the one song that defines Disney more than any other; [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} "When You Wish Upon a Star"]].
** Cinderella is the first to sing while Rapunzel accompanies, and the song steadily gains more momentum as various other characters join in, and others step in to help Goofy undo his previous mistake. Five of [[Main/OfficialCouple Disney's most beloved couples]] then sing the final verse, including [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Ariel and Eric,]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and Jasmine]], Rapunzel and Eugene, [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Tarzan and Jane]], and finally Cinderella and the Prince. With everyone now in position, and the camera's timer slowly ticking down. Cinderella and Mickey eagerly spur everyone on to join in for the final verse one last time, and Cinders [[BreakingTheFourthWall even extends this to the audience]]. ''Every single character'' then begins singing the final verse triumphantly as unified chorus, before Cinderella and the Prince gently sing the first line of "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" to the audience, followed by Rapunzel and Eugene singing the start of the chorus to "I See The Light", and Aladdin and Jasmine doing the same for "A Whole New World", before everyone proudly sings the final line; "Your dreams come true!" one final time, as the photo is finally created by [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinkerbell]].
** This is followed by a [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue relaxed epilogue scene]] set the following afternoon, as Mickey, Cinderella, Charming and Fairy Godmother send the audience off with a warm farewell, assuring them of the Walt Disney Company's bright future. [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Timon and Pumbaa]], Aladdin and Jasmine, and Rapunzel and Eugene also drop back in to bid their respective farewells, as the short ends on a far more relaxing note than that of the original OUAS.

[[AC:Dormant/Dead/Unsorted]]

This version could be seen as a little more melancholy than the original due to a scene on the staircase leading to the Roy E.

* Cinderella is the first to sing while Rapunzel accompanies, and the song steadily gains more momentum as various other characters join in, and others step in to help Goofy undo his previous mistake.

* ''Fanfic/FallenAngel'':

* ''Fanfic/FlowingStar'': Dough originally planned for Stella to be a former homeless girl who was adopted by the Zhau family and for Lincoln to be dead and a deadpan ghost bounded to Stella and being remembered as a pest.

** Early on, Spider-Man was going to be more heavily rooted in his Creator/AndrewGarfield incarnation, with said version of Spider-Man being from another of Darthkvzn's crossovers, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11186406/1/First-Contact First Contact]]''. But after watching and being, for lack of a better term, [[JustForPun amazed]] by Creator/TomHolland's take on the character in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', he decided to base Spider-Man on that version. Though there are still carryovers from said original plan, such as Peter's connection to [=OsCorp=] via his parents and his relationship with Gwen Stacy.

* ''Fanfic/MyHostageNotYours'': Following the conclusion of ''Takeover'', the author posted a bonus chapter containing scenes that were removed from or altered for the series.

* ''Fanfic/TheSmeetSeries'': Originally, ''The Smeet'' was supposed to be a one-shot, but the theme and characters grew so much on the author that it turned into a series.

* ''FanFic/QueenOfAllOni'': Jade's father Shen wasn't originally going to show up in the story. The events of the Mexico City chapter were going to lead directly into [[spoiler: Jade abducting Viper to brainwash and transform her.]] That got pushed back a chapter in order to give Jade a chance to [[CallingTheOldManOut call the old man out]] first.

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfShadows'': In the author's notes for Chapter 19, Eduard explains how some things regarding the Shogunate in the Shadows changed from Creator/{{Nocturne no Kitsune}}'s original plans due to different writing styles.

Also, Rokutaro and the Weaver were meant to have {{Motive Rant}}s before [[spoiler: their deaths]], but Eduard felt that lacking an explanation for their motives helps better expose how egotistical and petty they are.
* ''FanFic/ShadowsAwakening'': According to WordOfGod, the author scrapped his idea of having Shendu be a secondary antagonist after his beta reader pointed out that Shendu needed ALL his Talismans to undo the stone curse, not just the Rat (though he only needs the Rat after that).

[[AC:''WesternAnimations/{{Amphibia}}'']]

* ''Fanfic/RevengeOfLavan'' was supposed to have the main characters of ComicBook/ArchieComics and Webcomic/TwilightSparkleAndTheBigCity, but the latter's comic coming to an end and copyright concerns involving the former caused the idea to be scrapped and Archie being replaced with VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog.
