* AscendedFanon: The apparent reason that [[spoiler:Shinae and Gailen]] are a couple after the timeskip, since that was part of that year's winning contest entry. Also applies to the previous year's story, where [[spoiler:Mikilu living with Taio'shi]] also seems to have become canon.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Concept art from an unused sidestory that eventually became the "Syphile's Great Deed" contest story depicts Syphile's eyes as blue before becoming tainted. There's also [[http://www.drowtales.com/fan-gallery/index.php?/category/239 a piece]] done by the official artist that shows her with purple eyes, but that probably isn't canon at this point.
** There was also going to be a story at one point clarifying what happened to Laele, but it was abandoned for unknown reasons.
** The [[spoiler:rightful Holy Mother who replaces Shimi'lande]] in chapter 49 [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=11621 was not always going to be]] Anahid, with the original candidates being either Yakuise or a Warden seen in the Serenity outpost on the surface with Lioshi.
* WriterRevolt: The end of the sidestory ''Longest Wait'', was apparently one of these, since it was not originally planned for [[spoiler:Diva'ratrika to fuse with Ragini and escape]] but the artist of that story wanted it to end differently than was planned [[AscendedFanon and the new ending was eventually accepted into the canon]].
