All I can think of is that bit in Anne of Avonlea (or maybe Anne of the Island?) where Anne tries and tries to sell a story and can't find a buyer, and then after she gives up Diana sends it off to a baking powder company's contest, after adding the helpful information that the heroine's baking turned out so well because she used the company's brand, and that the couple is confident in their happily ever after because they'll always use the baking powder. It wins, and Anne has to conceal her humiliation from Diana and everyone else, who can't understand why she's not thrilled.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Almost done, and no more mentions of that loathesome place. Maybe they felt was as far a sponsor would read and just packed it all in the front.
I know that some progress has been made in fanworks legally, but I still think we're a ways from official product placement.

I may have read those books eighteen thousand times. (It's in Anne of the Island, because it happens during the summer when she's home from Redmond.)

For Vorkosigan fans, a lovely vignette of Ivan and Dono talking politics.

So you know how some fandom names are weird and cause characters to say things like "they named your brother Lucifer?!" or just read weird in a normal universe AU? The best (maybe only?) adaptation I've read is that of turning Azazel into an Italian with Azazello. Luke Morgenstern (Morningstar) is my second fave.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And what about Carlton, Your Doorman?
