History Main / BonusMaterial

* ''Series/SomedayOrOneDay'': A video was released to thank the fans for staying loyal (and watching legal broadcasts) after [[ContentLeak the ending was leaked]]. Set after the ending, it depicts Li Zi Wei's 28th birthday, [[spoiler: where he celebrates with Mo Jun Jie and an [[SheIsAllGrownUp older Huang Yu Xuan]].]]

* In a rare variation on this trope the orange VHS of the WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy episode [[Recap/RenAndStimpy2x07SonOfStimpy Son of Stimpy]] featured a music video titled "Cat Hairballs" before the episode proper, which featured Stimpy licking and hwarfing up hairballs for Ren before eventually passing out and getting stamped on the butt.

Other kinds of extras are making-ofs, [[HilariousOuttakes outtakes]], [[DeletedScene deleted scenes]], [[ConceptArtGallery concept art]], {{feelies}} and others.

* ''Fanfic/AManOfIron'': When writing Jon and [[spoiler: Natasha]]'s wedding in ''A Crack of Thunder'', the author apparently had a typo where he says they finish the ceremony with a "kill" instead of a "kiss". While he fixed this, he then realized that such a thing wouldn't actually be out of place in [[CrapsackWorld Westeros]], so he wrote a non-canon scene at the end of the relevant chapter where the wedding ends with them ceremoniously killing [[ButtMonkey Lancel Lannister]] and desecrating his corpse.

* The UsefulNotes/SegaCD port of ''VideoGame/TheNinjaWarriors'' includes a weird bonus cinema scene in which a Zuntata put on a concert playing the first stage theme, which somehow becomes the inspiration for the game's plot. Oddly, this is voiced in English with Japanese subtitles, despite the Sega CD port being released in Japan only.

* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' has a few extra pages at the ends of volumes, usually a collection of [[{{Yonkoma}} 4-Komas.]] One notable strip has Nekonome-sensei reading a fan mail [[LampshadeHanging asking how]] the girls' MagicPants work.

* The TPB for the four-issue ''ComicBook/MODOK: Head Games'' miniseries includes two old M.O.D.O.K.-focused one-shot tie-ins for ''ComicBook/DarkReign'' and ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks''.

* ''Detective Comics'' #347 had a rare after-story "what if" segment that showed what ''would'' have happened to {{ComicBook/Robin}} if the villain of the story had actually killed {{Franchise/Batman}}. (This was in 1966. Who says Bats only got DarkerAndEdgier ''after'' the [[Series/Batman1966 Adam West]] years?)

* ''FanFic/AeonNatumEngel'' has several Code: OMAKE chapters which are mostly crossovers with ''FanFic/NobodyDies''. As of this writing, it ended with Creepy!Rei and Terrifying!Rei arguing with each other.

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Grummancat's Website/DeviantArt page includes tons of bonus material, including extra pictures, fanservice drawings, characters' profiles and additional explanations.

* ''FanFic/StarsAbove'' has two side-stories called ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8522659/1/ My Sunshine]]'' and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9153264/1/ Pioneer,]]'' [[spoiler:and a series of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7920813/1/ Demon profiles]] for each of the Nine, written in the style of the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]] website's Witch Cards.]]
* Fan fiction for Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium:
** ''FanFic/TheGamesOfTheGods'', Book One, has a bonus chapter. Chapter 80 "The Extra Goodies" contains deleted and unused scenes.
** ''FanFic/HomeWithTheFairies'' by I-Mushi has two sets of bonuses. The drabbles in the [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9748362/1/HwtF-Drabble-Collection "HwtF Drabble Collection"]] ship Maddie with different characters, and include "A Study in Frustration: Erynion." Apart from that, I-Mushi has [[http://i-mushi.tumblr.com/tagged/hwtf tumblr posts tagged "hwtf."]]
** Peppery Mints, author of ''FanFic/HowToSurviveInMiddleEarthWhenYoureATeenagedGirl'', also wrote [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10185221/1/Doodles-In-The-Margin "Doodles In The Margin."]] These contain alternate events that fit not into the main story. The main story is already an AlternateUniverseFic, so these doodles are alternate universes of an alternate universe.
** ''FanFic/{{Lothiriel}}'' by [=JunoMagic=] has [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2647262/1/Drabbles-about-Loth%C3%ADriel-and-Drabbles-of-Rohan "Drabbles about Lothíriel and Drabbles of Rohan."]]
* ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8222340/1/Chasing-the-Moon Chasing the Moon,]]'' its [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6902577/1/Phases-of-the-Moon prequel]] and its [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10332014/1/The-Trials-of-Kurosaki-Karin companion fic]] have omakes at the end of almost every chapter.
* In chapter two of ''FanFic/CelestiaVSCleverbot'' is the original conversation with Cleverbot in the format direct from the "Thoughts so far" button.
* ''FanFic/FateRevelationOnline'' ends each chapter with a short skit styled after the Tiger Dojo in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', usually following a character's non-canon death. The first few were directly based off of the Tiger Dojo (when Shirou died) while later examples include Imouto Dojo (for Kirito) and Kotomine's Church for Bad Guys ([[ShapedLikeItself for bad guys]]). While most are meant to give tell funny anecdotes and give some insight into character motivation, some do provide meaningful backstory.

* The ''Manga/OnePiece'' SelfInsertFic ''FanFic/ThisBites'' has several, written by both the Cross-Brain and their fans.
** One in particular is a non-canon {{Crossover}} [[spoiler:between this fic and the shipgirls of ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'', when the latter's base plays host to a certain goat-horned pirate shipgirl.]]
* ''FanFic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': A handful of omake chapters, some written by Anon e Mouse Jr. and featuring his [[AuthorAvatar self-insert character]], who has the powers (and then some) of [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Kamen Rider Skull]] and was created for an as-yet unwritten story. They are non-canon to this story, but he writes them for fun anyway.

* ''FanFic/TheRavensPlan'' has the side story ''Conversations with the not so dead'', a collection of scenes which are not plot relevant (and would thus slow down the main story) but which the author really wanted to write.

** ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'' both had Collector's Editions with some extra stuff, but ''Halo 3''[='s=] Legendary Edition came with even more and also had a model of Master Chief's helmet.

** Continuing the tradition, ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'' was loaded with bonus features: Three multiplayer maps available prior to the game's launch date, early access to six specializations, a 90-minute extended series of ''Film/Halo4ForwardUntoDawn'', additional in-verse content that helps explain ''Forward Unto Dawn'', two making-of featurettes, unique character and weapon skins, exclusive in-game emblems and LIVE Avatar props, and a "UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet" (which serves as an intro to the UNSC ''Infinity'' and contains a variety of documents providing background lore for ''Spartan Ops'', including schematics for Spartan Armor), all contained within a ''ginormous'' metal box, itself available in a "forest black" or a silver color.

* Inverted for ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' -- it's a VisualNovel based on a one-page omake from the {{doujin}} ''Schuppen Harnische'' by RAITA
* ''Warhammer Online'' had a collectors edition filled with this. It had a map, comic, miniature, and artwork book.

* For a fairly new website ''[[{{Webcomic/Morphe}} morphE]]'' has a bunch of side content on [[http://morphethecomic.tumblr.com their tumblr page]] which has introduced future characters, hinted to backstory that has not come up yet and ---official art of the first slash-fic of [[CargoShip the main male characters' shirts.]] It's that kind of fandom.

* Two types of bonus strips are available for fans of ''WebComic/DumbingOfAge'': Patreon only strips that focus on characters not involved in the current storyline (some of which are chosen by fans), and not-safe-for-work comics posted on Slipshine.

* The pre-opening shorts in ''VisualNovel/OreTachiNiTsubasaWaNai'' (We Without Wings) are not only out-of-continuity, they are out-of-genre.

* ''Manga/ZettaiKarenChildren'' has a lot of these in form of bonus art panels (often in color), but there are also two major examples:

* The [=DVD=]s of ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' contain shorts with the characters in chibi-format, called ''Maria-sama ni wa Naisho'' ("Don't tell Maria-sama"), in which the makers poke mild fun at events in the series with the characters as AnimatedActors.

* Nearly ''every WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' DVD (at least in the [[NoExportForYou US/Canada]]) has ''at least'' one special feature. So much we could make a list.

* Inverted for ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' -- it's a VisualNovel based on a one-page {{omake}} from the {{doujin}} ''Schuppen Harnische'' by RAITA

** ''The Illustrated [[Literature/TheWeeFreeMen Wee Free Men]]'' included, at the bit which reveals [[spoiler: the toad was a lawyer who suffered BalefulPolymorph after suing a fairy godmother for breech of promise]], a transcript of the trial.

* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': The thread in the Sufficient Velocity forums includes many comedic omakes written by the author and other fans. Whacky hijinks include Rei getting drunk and her friends trying to cover it up, Asuka singing awfully and Shinji praising her because he is the one has to sleep with her, and Gendo seeing lizard people on the walls.

* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': This story has two omakes: in one of them Asuka berates the author for not updating his site. In the other the pilots and their friends play an arcade.
