* The GenderFlipped episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', "Fionna and Cake," turned out to be Ice King's fanfiction of the titular duo. Marceline later gets in on the act, co-opting her own gender flip, Marshall Lee, to tell another story. Lumpy Space Princess also makes a story about her genderflip and forces Ice King to read it, hoping he can make him real enough [[ScrewYourself to marry her]].

* WebVideo/AmazingPhil and WebVideo/{{Danisnotonfire}} get this a lot, even having their names combined into a portmanteau of "phan", now fans who ship them and even those who think the ship is creepy call themselves "phans" and are part of the "phandom".

** A much tamer story, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3164145/1/Commentary "Commentary"]], reads like a typical ''Daily Show'' report, only set in the Marvel Universe, as Jon Stewart and Ed Helms report on the [[ComicBook/CivilWar Superhero Registration Act]] and ComicBook/SpiderMan's public unmasking.

** Creator/SpiderRobinson's short story "Rubber Soul" speculated on a reunion between Paul and John in the future, in which Paul has John placed in SuspendedAnimation after he was shot, giving him the opportunity to recover. In a stealth pun, John was brought out of suspension in the year 2004 at the chronological age of 64. "Will you still need me, will you still feed me..."

* [[LetsPlay/JackSepticEye Septi]][[WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} Plier]] videos, edits, fanfiction, and artwork have inundated both of their communities ever since the two started making more collab videos and hanging out together, though [=YamiMark=] is also still out there. And let's not even get started on all the [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Game Grumps]]/Markiplier ships.

* There is a large amount of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses fanfiction.
** Fandom can't agree on whether it's all RPS or just some of it is. Obviously the fic where people write [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment 'Noah']] and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 'Lewis']] and [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses 'Doug']] doing things are RPS. But what about the vast majority of the fics, which use the names [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment 'Spoony,']] [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 'Linkara,']] and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and have appearances of the characters [[TheSociopath Ask That Guy]], [[KillerRobot Mechakara]], and [[MadScientist Dr. Insano]]?

* While ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/881056/chapters/1695818 The Battle of New York: Take 2]]'' is primarily a ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' fanfic, it's centered on the production of two different movies based on the titular event, and thus discusses real actors and directors (with the two movies being directed by Creator/DavidFincher and Creator/MichaelBay, respectively). We also get some cases of in-universe WTHCastingAgency (among other interesting choices, Bay chose Music/FiftyCent of all people to play Nick Fury) and a nice MythologyGag (Fincher cast Creator/EdwardNorton as Bruce Banner -- the actor played him in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'' before being replaced by Creator/MarkRuffalo in all future movies).

** Interestingly, the girls do appear to know about the fanfics, but seem to be okay with it as long as no one gets too crazy. [[labelnote:*]]Example: Alina was made uncomfortable by shippers frequently asking her where Sonya was, with said shippers seemingly unable to comprehend that both she and Sonya have other things in their personal lives besides each other and aren't together 24/7.[[/labelnote]] They also know about their ship name and seem to embrace it as one of their inside jokes.

* Fans of the Russian pop-punk band Kis-Kis have written several fanfics about them, 90% of them shipping fanfics due to Sonya Somuseva and Alina Olesheva's close friendship and ambiguous sexualities, as well as the fact that they [[HomoeroticSubtext play up the gay]] in several of their music videos.[[labelnote:*]]This is most notable in the video for their song “Podruga”, which is about a girl falling in love with her same sex friend.[[/labelnote]]

* There's quite a few Slash fics of Ian and Anthony of ''WebVideo/Smosh'', the two have even read some of them on their second channel.

* [[LetsPlay/JackSepticEye Septi]][[LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} Plier]] videos, edits, fanfiction, and artwork have inundated both of their communities ever since the two started making more collab videos and hanging out together, though [=YamiMark=] is also still out there.

* Appears in-universe in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' when the Titans find out that people online [[ShipToShipCombat debate]] on which of them should be with the other. Canonically, the only Titans to end up together were Beast Boy/Terra (temporarily) and Robin/Starfire.

* An unusual example occurs in ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove W'', where Mahiro is horrified to learn that an alien {{Doujin}} circle published a {{Yaoi}} manga about him. His three companions all fight over it (Nyarko and Hasta want to read it, Cuuko wants to sell it on the open market), but Mahiro ends up buying and destroying it. Several times throughout the season the doujin's author (a massive Mahiro fangirl) pops up and attempts to meet him in person, not realizing that he isn't exactly happy to be the subject of gay porn from space.

* The Internet has been lately seeing ''tons'' of fics involving UsefulNotes/BarackObama, John [=McCain=], and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush.

* Fans of the Russian pop-punk band Kis-Kis have written several fanfics about them, 90% of them shipping fanfics due to Sonya and Alina's close friendship and ambiguous sexualities, as well as the fact that they [[HomoeroticSubtext play up the gay]] in several of their music videos.[[labelnote:*]]This is most notable in the video for their song “Podruga”, which is about a girl falling in love with her same sex friend.[[/labelnote]]

** There is also a disturbing amount of fanfics where one or both of them gets killed off, often in a violent fashion. Most of these are also shipping fanfics, making it even stranger.

** Back in 2001-2003, the biggest and most vocal (and also virtually ''only'') het shippers were the Smoochy Dreamers, Chris Jericho/Stephanie [=McMahon=]. Chris/Steph is nothing so much as a kindergartener pulling the pigtails of the girl he likes, and between the [[GagBoobs boob comments]], kissing as gross-out tactic, and his seemingly extensive knowledge of her supposed sexual practices, they were ripe for shipping.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': You can pick up an InGameNovel about the Raiden Shogun and Yae Guuji as a couple named "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?" Although [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed the Yae Guuji is named Masako and not Miko]] here, it's clear who it's supposed to be about. Notably, this book is published by Yae Publishing House, which is headed by Yae Miko herself. Additionally, it was promoted heavily during the [[TemporaryOnlineContent Irodori Festival]], where you could pick up a tie-in drink from a cosplayer that worked for the company. [[ShipTease You have to wonder what Miko meant by that.]] It's noted in its description to be a SpiritualSuccessor to an {{Isekai}} novel about the protagonist being reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, which is also an example you can find in-game. Note that as the Raiden Shogun is a PhysicalGod, these stories are not just tasteless but ''blasphemous''. Fortunately, the Raiden Shogun thinks they're ActuallyPrettyFunny.

** Notably, a SlashFic shipping two members of the server (LetsPlay/{{Dream}} and LetsPlat/GeorgeNotFound) became so popular that it managed to induce a ColbertBump on the song it was named after ("Heat Waves" by Music/GlassAnimals), leading to it becoming the best-performing single of 2022 according to ''Billboard''.

Youtube-celebrities [[https://www.youtube.com/user/charlieissocoollike Charlie McDonnel]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/nerimon Alex Day]] were quite {{Squick}}ed to discover that [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs people had been writing slash of them]]. Charlie made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6cTConAZBo reaction video]] as well.
