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 You Know, That Thing Where.

So Alex writes a major fanfic. Then Alex decides it's better of as officially not a fanfic, renames canon events and (if any were present) canon characters, and does some alteration job on the setting. But the strong inspiration remains, and quite a few things are Expies, an outright Captan Ersatz might be noticed, and quite a few Serial Numbers are Filed Off.
The most famous example is probably Fifty Shades of Grey - but it does not seem to list any trope for this.
Is there a trope? if not, should I launch one?
(Context: working my way to doing just that)
