to:
The decription suggests that the difference between this and PromotedFanboy is that Ascended is \\\"someone who\\\'s a huge fan of \\\'\\\'Series/DoctorWho\\\'\\\' discovers the Doctor is real and becomes the companion\\\" and Promoted is \\\"someone who\\\'s a huge fan of \\\'\\\'Doctor Who\\\'\\\' gets \\\'\\\'cast\\\'\\\' as the companion\\\". Which would suggest that if a fictional character who is a huge \\\'\\\'Doctor Who\\\'\\\' (or the setting\\\'s DoctorWhomage) fan gets cast as the companion, that\\\'s an InUniverse Promoted Fanboy.

But because Ascended Fanboy is Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease (although weirdly, because it\\\'s \\\"too common\\\" for people to learn that the fiction they love is \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\', and they can be part of it, apparently) it seems like Promoted Fanboy has become No In-Universe Examples, with that page even saying that that\\\'s what the difference is. So those examples seem to go here instead, even though they don\\\'t fit the description.
