* ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'': ''WebAnimation/TonyCynightsFiveNightsAtFreddys''

* "MAP" refers to a "Multi-Animator Project". Not to be confused with a MEP, which is a similar term used by {{Fan Vid}}ders. A "MAP" is an animation where several animators each do different parts.

* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': ''Warriors'' fanfics are common, however fan-art and fan-animations are more popular. [=MAPs=] are the most common, however some artists do entire fan-animations on their own. Fan-animations for the other Creator/ErinHunter works are extremely rare.

** Apart of Latin America, this series has a huge [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff foreign fandom]] in France, where a group of French fan animators made part of the ''Hades Saga'' at the end of TheNineties as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bZ5JdeD5kA fan animation]] that was praised by the fans of the series, the success was so huge that was even dubbed in Latin Spanish by the official Saint Seiya's Mexican voice actors. The fan short was made as a kind of protest from the fans for don't having new anime adaptations of the manga (the last one was in 1989), especially the Hades Saga, the final manga arc unadapted until then. Probably triggered by this short, Creator/ToeiAnimation decided to finally adapt the Hades Saga in the format of OVA in 2002, which was not-so praised by the fans as the original short.

Fan-animations are usually ignored by publishers and creators, and they may be even [[ApprovalOfGod encouraged or praised]], but sometimes they're [[FanworkBan met with cease-and-desist orders]].
