The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

Part of Fanfic Fuel (see the first entry in the "Unspecified Types of Fuel (included, but not limited to)")

This is something endemic to fanfics. If a fanfic uses or references characters or concepts that were cut from the original canon material (e.g. Zootopia works using Jack Savage), would it still be a Development Gag, or would it be a different trope?
