Even though the fandom isn't a very big one (when compared to many others), the Escape the Night fandom has quite a few of these.
- Afterlife Fic: A type of Continuation, which often follows the deceased YouTubers' lives after death.
- Post-Survival Fic: Less common than the above, but follows a similar context - following the surviving YouTubers' lives after their season. This type often enforces Survivor's Guilt and Shell-Shocked Veteran.
- Evil!Joey Fic: Exactly What It Says on the Tin - somehow, Joey has become evil, and the story often goes off from there.
- Point of Divergence Fic: Basically, what would happen if something changed in canon, such as 'If The Other Guy Won' (the other contestant in an elimination challenge dying instead). Popularized by Leah Merone.
- Historical AU: Based on the alternate realities where the YouTubers, in fact, hail from the time periods of their respective seasons and often as a bonus, have the roles assigned to them as their actual identities. Brought to light by the ETNuary 2020 event on Archive of Our Own, though variations existed prior to it.
- New Season Fic: These generally involve personalized time periods and other YouTubers that are yet to star in the series. These are rather difficult to pull off.
- Roleplay Season Fic: Fandom members roleplaying as canon YouTubers or an entire custom season (As Himself comes into play here) appears to be quite common too.
- Save Them All Fic: Named for Leah's series of the same name
, certain canon characters, for whatever reasons, attempt to save them all, 'them' being the deceased YouTubers. Somehow, none of them so far have been written as a Self-Insert Fic. - Song Parody Fic: Altering song lyrics in favour of an AU, or to fit another character. Has happened occasionally.
