Fanfic Fuel: Difference between revisions

* Many times in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' canon, Dr. Watson includes references to cases that Holmes has solved but which were not fleshed into stories, such as the the tale of the giant rat of Sumatra (a story "for which the world is not yet ready"). A large percentage of [[Fanfic]], including published pastiche novels, centers on one or another of these [[Noodle Incident]]s.

* ''[[A Wrinkle in Time]]'', in addition to all the science fiction elements not explored in great detail (the history of the [[Individuality Is Illegal|planet]] [[Dystopia|Camazotz]], the [[Another Dimension|2-dimensional planet]], etc.), there's also the specific story of the project Meg's father was working on (with the tesseract) and what happened to the first man who tried to tesser. He's mentioned ''very'' briefly, when Meg's father is giving Calvin some of the backstory about the project. He left successfully, but they never found out what happened to him (and none of the sequels give any indicator, either).

* Very little is explained about Malefor's backstory in [[The Legend of Spyro]]: Dawn of the Dragon. Any fanfiction that's not Spyro/Cynder shipping is probably this. His "death" in the final game was also vague, leading to many fanfiction and fan comics.

* ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur V]]''. Gets barely over a year in development. [http://train2game-news.co.uk/2012/03/26/train2game-news-soulcalibur-v-story-mode-one-fourth-of-planned-size-each-character-was-to-have-own-story/ The length of story mode is drastically shortened due to time constraints,] with ''numerous'' plot elements mentioned in official bios prior to the game's release being ignored or glossed over left and right and only a [[No Export for You|Japanese-only artbook]] attempting to [[All There in the Manual|fill in the blanks]] of exactly ''what'' happened in [[Time Skip|the seventeen-year interim between]] ''SCIV'' and this game (heck, there aren't even character-specific Arcade endings to help shed light on things). You can bet your soul (pun intended) fanfic writers are scrambling at this very moment to answer the various questions that ''SCV'' couldn't bother to.
