Slight tweak to make it funnier. Also, the image already has a link to the anime, so having it in the caption is unnecessary

* Virgin Publishing's Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures novels created a number of new companions for the Seventh Doctor, including Franchise/BerniceSummerfield, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej. Virgin's Literature/DoctorWhoMissingAdventures had Grant Markham, a short-lived companion to the Sixth Doctor. BBC Books' Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures range had Samantha Jones, Fitz Kreiner, Compassion, Anji Kapoor, and Trix [=MacMillan=]. Innumerable new villains have occurred in the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse. One, Literature/FactionParadox, the [[DarkIsNotEvil (Not-So)]] EvilCounterpart to the Time Lords, spun off into its own sub-universe of audio plays, comics and novels. They began in novels.

* ''Fanfic/AlwaysVisible'': It's pointless for ''Omen IV: The Awakening'' fans to look for characters they know in '''Always Visible''' - even such obvious ones as Delia and Jo were completely changed in relation to their counterparts, and all the other characters are even more irrelevant to the film.

* The first ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' ExpandedUniverse novel, ''Liberty's Crusade'', was a PragmaticAdaptation of the first game's Terran campaign. Its viewpoint character is a journalist named Michael Liberty who is embedded with then-Colonel Edmund Duke's Alpha Squadron (partly to hide him from Confederate magnates he pissed off with his previous story). With the exception of ''Queen of Blades'' (which covers the ''SC'' Zerg campaign from Jim Raynor's viewpoint) and ''Speed of Darkness'' (which focuses on a group of Confederate Marines on Mar Sara who were [[HeroOfAnotherStory Heroes of Another Story]] to the PlayerCharacter of the Terran campaign[[note]]They fought a [[YouShallNotPass holding]] [[LastStand action]] against the Zerg at the same time as the third Terran mission, which diverted substantial forces away from the PC's troops and enabled their escape.[[/note]]), the other books don't touch the game campaigns, inevitably creating dozens of Canon Foreigners.
