*By Psychopompos007: "The plot of VideoGame/CallOfCthulhuDarkCornersOfTheEarth is mostly a loose adaptation of Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth, but it also includes elements from another (unrelated) Creator/HPLovecraft novella, The Shadow out of Time, especially in the prologue and the ending." Can anyone who knows this game elaborate about what is meant by "elements"? If Psychopompos007 is referring to things such as characters, specific objects, and/or plotlines I'd say that It'd count, but it is only referring to things such as concepts and themes, then it wouldn't count.
*By Metafour: " Akira Kurosawa's Film/{{Rashomon}} combines elements from two different Ryuonosuke Akutagawa stories. Most of the plot came from "In a Grove", while the framing device (of travelers trapped in a gate because of a rainstorm) and title came from "Rashomon". " This example seems to satisfy the requirements of this article, is there a reason it hasn't been added yet?
*By Phantomdusclops92: " The Christmas Special Sonic Christmas Bash it's mainly based on Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog, but also includes elements from Sonic The Hedgehog such as the Robotropolis setting, SWAT-Bots and Princess Sally. " Based on the Sonic fanfic example in the examples section above, I'd that this would also qualify.
*By Duncan: "The film Film/ReturnToOz takes elements from two of the Oz books by L Frank Baum: The Marvelous Land of Oz (which does not feature Dorothy as a character) and Ozma of Oz, as well as the 1973 non-fiction book Wisconsin Death Trip as a historical source." Based on this, I'd think Return to Oz would qualify.
