Although it's very difficult for a story with a big audience to ever reach a consensus, occasionally a single fact or aspect of the series is modified frequently enough in Fan Fic compared to the original story that its absence or modification becomes notable within the fandom. This may escalate to the point where fanfics do not bother to note the change in any tags or clarifications and that even sticklers for continuity are generally not bothered by it. This will also happen much more quickly in a tightly-knit fan community. Conversely, it occurs much more slowly if there's a big Fan Dumb community, unless they're being actively trolled. Note that "mechanical" changes to make things work in a text medium (reworking a gag because describing a visual isn't funny) or changing an ending because the story covers that period ("soft" AUs) don't count. The change must be common enough to get fan recognition, deliberate rather than an outright mistake or forgetful Flanderization, but not actually overshadow the original version of the story (as fanon can and does). Common flavors include the following, and may occur separately or together: Canon mixing: Borrowing a characterization or concept from another version of the story because they were more popular/interesting/notable even if the rest of the universe appears "normal", or simply more elaborated upon. Frequent in series with many Alternate Continuities (and thus little sense of "true" canon), especially if those other versions aren't necessarily as well known as others. In extreme cases, writers may create Fridge Brilliance or invoke Broad Strokes outright to explain how even explicitly different versions are both valid interpretations simultaneously. Continuity tweak: Avoiding or reworking something that just didn't fly in the audience's mind to make more sense or be less stupid. Again, can become a Fandom Theory with enough support. Personality tweak: The toning down/up of a character's personality within "acceptable" bounds, said bounds usually based on... how people write the character in fanfics frequently. Popular with low-emotive characters who are otherwise difficult to write for or who have a popular line (count the usages of Big Damn Heroes in Firefly and then in Firefly Fics, for example). Memetic Mashing: The writer incorporates the Memetic Mutation of a character into the work under the challenge of making it mesh believably with the established characterization. Difficult and prone to become very in-jokey if done badly, excellent Fandom Nods when done right. Retroactive Discontinuity: A special subset of this where an aspect of a fic that started out canon becomes a break from canon by events of future seasons/books/what have you. Either someone dies, or someone new is introduced, or something new is revealed, what have you, but something happens which changes the canon in ways not reflected in the fanfic. Compare Fix Fic, where the story tends to focus entirely on addressing problems. Also compare Woolseyism for dubs and localizations that make such changes. Contrast Canon Defilement for what's (usually) deemed unacceptable breaks from canon. |

In The Gungan Council, continuity is tweaked all around, yet not always to get rid of disliked events in Star Wars canon. Alderaan still exists, former Vongformed planets show little to no signs of ever being in such a state, and the Star Forge is still lurking in space. | |

Due to the classic Chip 'n Dale cartoon "Two Chips and a Miss" being so similar to CDRR in its setting, combined with the female lead Clarice's popularity in the CDRR fandom, it's tempting to include her in CDRR fanfic. This requires some modifications to the old cartoon's canon to either explain or eliminate the time shift of almost four decades — or even more if the fic in question takes place long enough after the show. The effort necessary to pull this off convincingly may be the reason why Clarice doesn't appear in many CDRR fanfics. | |

Fanfics based on the 1987 cartoon tend to downplay or outright ignore Raphael's characterization as the Motor Mouth Deadpan Snarker in that show and make him more like the violent hothead he is in all other continuities. | |

Raisin' Some Hell (Hellblazer/The Owl House) operates under multiple Fandom Specific Plots such as Lilith being Amity's Parental Substitute and other differences such as Eda being the older sister, but this is justified by the story being written and reaching those points before either the canon plot or Dana Terrance's Reddit AMA showed and informed otherwise. | |

When Saving Blitzo was published, the show was still on its first episode so understandably, quite a few things are different from canon. For one, Loona was adopted by Blitzo when she was still a young child, rather than an adult. Blitzo's family has also been drastically changed, as his father was much more of a loving parent than Cash Buckzo and all of them, including his canonically alive sister Barbie, are dead in here. Stella was originally called Selena, until this was changed after her official name was revealed. Speaking of Stella, she is much more sympathetic, kind and loving towards her family than her canon counterpart, who is a selfish, violent, and cruel woman who puts a hit on Stolas' life. | |

Retroactive discontinuity affects most romantic fic concerning the first game's heroes, as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn featured their offspring by unknowns (with the exception of Isaac, who married Jenna but seems to have since split). Whether these pairings were completely debunked or have ended up as Dry Docked Ships is a matter for academic debate. | |

Turnabout Storm: The basic storyline was completed before anything beyond the first season was broadcasted, which inevitably created contradictions with the Equestrian side of things as the series was madenote Such as the reencounter with Trixie; thus anything from season 2 onwards is assumed as non-canon for the crossover. Curiously enough, this problem isn't as serious for the Ace Attorney side of things, since the events neatly fit between the second and third games. | |

It is not uncommon for fanfic writers to combine the Pokémon Adventures manga and the anime into the same universe. Considering the extreme Alternative Character Interpretation some characters have received between the two continuities, this can become quite the Mind Screw. Similarly, stories in the video game Verse will often have the characters be indistinguishable from their manga counterparts, to the point where the only evidence that these are not manga fics consists of very subtle clues. | |

X-Men: The Early Years takes several liberties with the X-Men canon when the author believes it'll make for a better story. So, the team has already fought Sentinels before Marvel Girl joins, the boys know about Jean before her arrival, and Jean Grey uses her telepathy openly before it was unlocked in canon. | |

Romance and the Fate of Equestria has much the exact same status as The Nuptialverse. The story's uncanny parallels with certain bits of canon — some of which are posted before they happen on the show, some after — tend to remain untouched. Chapter 81 is particularly notable for how several of its lines resemble (or defy) aspects of "Keep Calm and Flutter On", but are kept because, according to the author, it was the first chapter of the story ever to be written, when Season 2 was still in progress. | |

Rei: Types A & B — Writers are much more likely to use her depiction in the original manga (stoic, borderline Tsundere, "kinda gay") than the one in the show, even though the backstory for the favored depiction was not used there. In addition, due to the lines in the dub sounding very odd to those not familiar with Shinto mysticism, Rei was popularly depicted as having outright supernatural powers, something the original anime only played with. | |

The world that Justice Society of Japan takes place in has a bit of the Post-Crisis DCU (in that superheroes have been around for decades, and the Justice Society of America exists) and a bit of the New 52's DCU (Justice League Dark exists, Calendar Man is a news anchor, Superman and Wonder Woman are in a relationship). There's a heck of a lot of canon tweaking in regards to the other series used in the fic, most notably Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and Code Geass. | |

The Nuptialverse was started shortly after the season 2 finale, and was planned out long before season 3 started. With that in mind, the author announced his intent to cherry pick aspects from that season that work with his plans, and ignore everything else (he even posted a list of what he planned on doing). | |

Fate/VRAINS: Early in the story, when Yusaku duels Run Ru, she uses Xyz Summoning. Yusaku is caught by surprise and states that he doesn't know anything about that summoning. In the anime, Yusaku is the first character to show off Xyz Summoning in one of his duels against Go Onizuka. This was before the other unique summoning methods were confirmed to exist in VRAINS. In the story, Yusaku seeks out Shoichi, who was once a hacker called Kolter and has information relating to the Lost Incident. The chapter was published a few months before the episode in which Shoichi reveals his and Yusaku's first meeting, though the author has stated that the story was an Alternate Universe to begin with. The fanfic has Hakuno and HAKUNO both possess a Link 5 monster: "Yellow King: Cosmic Clown" and "Servant Berserker — Lu Bu" respectively. Near the end of Season 2 of the anime, it was revealed that, up until Bohman and Yusaku's final duel, Link 5 monsters did not exist up until that point. |

Don't be surprised if a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfic has all those ancient spirits have their own body, and don't expect it to be explained. That said, not everybody considers this an acceptable break from canon. Lampshaded in "Not the Usual Kaiba": Also, in Decks Fall Everyone Dies, Yami has a separate body.

It's also relatively common for fanfics to follow in the tradition of the comics and cherrypick bits of canon from across the MCU, such as altering or completely handwaving the canon circumstances behind certain characters' presences, omitting entire movies or plotlines, or just plain slapping a "Not [movie] Compliant" tag on the fic and writing the fic as though all events after a certain point just don't happen. Most "Winter Soldier Recovery" fanfic is not canon compliant after Captain America: The Winter Soldier because in canon, the titular Soldier goes into the wind and doesn't reenter the story until a point that would either significantly alter the backdrop to most stories of that plot, or render them impossible altogether. A lot of "teamfic" in general either ignores all events after Phase One or cherrypicks other heroes and has them join the Avengers much earlier and for vastly different reasons than in canon in the interests of depicting those characters interacting, especially characters like the Winter Soldier, the Maximoff twins, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and others that otherwise only show up in canon as a result of Captain America: Civil War, a movie that broke up the Avengers and, several movies later, ultimately led to a bunch of heroes dying for real. | |

Fans of the movie and the musical tend to favor the "canon mixing" variety, basing their fics on whichever version they like better, but borrowing elements from the other as well. A nearly-surefire way to tell which one the author prefers? If Veronica's stated to be (or to have been) a junior during the events of the film in the fic, they're probably going off the movie for the most part. If she is (or was) a senior, it's probably the musical. | |

Tons of fanfic set in the MCU cherrypick various bits of canon from the comics, largely because that's what the MCU has done with its own attempts at reconciling over seventy years of comics canon (and all of the messy continuity issues that very long-running shared comics universes tend to entail) in 23 two-ish-hour Summer Blockbusters designed for mass appeal and a handful of TV series in varying states of cancellation. Any fan who also keeps up with the comics is bound to have something that they feel the MCU snubbed. Some of the most common tropes have even made it into the standard vernacular for MCU fanfic, and see use even by writers who otherwise don't really interact with the comics. | |

Owl's Hell That Ends Well was first published shortly after C.H.E.R.U.B, and while the general episodes are still relatively adapted, Loo Loo Land and Spring Broken have swapped in terms of order of events. Justified as Loona being Stolas' daughter this time around, means the circumstances that he invited her to the amusement park are deistically different. One big, major change however is Stolas' origin. Now he was no longer born in Hell, but was exiled there being a Fallen Angel and a part of Lucifer's army. Instead, Stella fills his void as Blitzo's childhood royal friend, after the young imp was hired to entertain her brother Andrealphus, the two bonding over their shared abuse at the hands of Stella's mother. | |

The fangame Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Conflict of Interest takes place in the Apollo Justice era, but began development before Dual Destinies was released, resulting in many breaks from canon, such as Pearl Fey's character arc going in a radically different direction. The author eventually went with a Broad Strokes approach: taking some elements from Dual Destinies like Phoenix's new outfit and throwing in a Shout-Out here and there, but still treating itself as an Alternate Universe. (Athena doesn't exist, for example) | |
