* When Maria first revealed herself as a time traveler in ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'', she said that this was why it took her two days to pick up her time-displaced son Leonardo [[spoiler:da Vinci]], because she already existed in those days. [[spoiler:As to an explanation as to how she was able to be born in this timeline when the older Maria was already here -- delivered ''by'' the older Maria, no less -- she merely says [[Film/JurassicPark "life finds a way"]].]]

* In ''Fanfic/JojoNewUniverse'', [[spoiler: [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Enrico Pucci]] meets his end after [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Funny Valentine]] uses [=D4C=] to transport Pucci's canon counterpart into the New Universe, triggering a collision between the two Puccis that erases both of them from existence.]]
* Discussed in ''Fanfic/SpectacularSeven''. Sunset Shimmer eventually meets her human counterpart, going under the alias Snake Queen Lamia. Once the two figure out that they're each other's counterpart, they try to avoid making contact for fear that "the universe might explode." The two of them do eventually make contact, but all it does is allow each Sunset to briefly see the other's memories. [[spoiler:In the "Phoenix Rising" chapter, Sunset does this again when Lamia is under the effects of DemonicPossession to regain her own memories, free Lamia, and fight off Moondancer.]]
* In ''Fanfic/CarpeNoctem'', a Harry Potter fanfiction, [[spoiler:because Hermione accidentally lets her past self see her future self while time-traveling, a disruption in the space-time continuum occurs]].

* Around the time ''Film/Titanic1997'' came out, a lot of ''Series/DoctorWho'' fanfics got written with the Doctor and co. visiting the doomed ship. One fanfic lampshades this by having the TARDIS appear on the ''Titanic'' only for the Doctor to moan, "Oh not again!" His companions look around and notice that a large percentage of the passengers are [[TheNthDoctor different versions of the Doctor]] and his various companions. "The TARDIS just seems to ''like'' the North Atlantic," he sighs.
* There was a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic which involved Rainbow Dash travelling in time to set herself and Applejack up. Eventually, because of this, she, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle are all jumping through time trying to make sure the right versions of themselves meet at the right time. It ends up with several dozen of each pony getting very confused. [[spoiler:And then [[FromBadToWorse Scootaloo gets caught up too...]]]]

* Around the time ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' came out, a lot of ''Series/DoctorWho'' fanfics got written with the Doctor and co. visiting the doomed ship. One fanfic lampshades this by having the TARDIS appear on the ''Titanic'' only for the Doctor to moan, "Oh not again!" His companions look around and notice that a large percentage of the passengers are [[TheNthDoctor different versions of the Doctor]] and his various companions. "The TARDIS just seems to ''like'' the North Atlantic," he sighs.

* In the small InteractiveFiction game ''All Things Devours'', sighting yourself - or causing your earlier self to notice anything you didn't - causes the space-time continuum to go blert with the force of a nuke. This is a problem, as the main character is trying to destroy her prototypical time machine with a range of minutes, inside a military base that nobody could infiltrate alone. Fascinating choreography, shameless TrialAndErrorGameplay.
