Penguins appear in fanworks from time to time (they're more popular in some fandoms than others) and are an important part of certain canons, such as the films March of the Penguins and Happy Feet, and the comic Bloom County[1].
Example Fanworks
Fanvids
- Walk the Line by tv_elf, a March of the Penguins vid.
- Every Penguin Dance Now by mranderson, a Happy Feet vid.
Fanfiction
- Birds of a Feather by toft, Aubrey/Maturin story in which Stephen is transformed into a penguin.
Penguins in Stargate Atlantis
Penguinfic is a subgenre of Stargate Atlantis crack fanworks (mostly fic) notable and common enough to have its own thematic list.[2]
The stories mainly feature SGA characters being transformed into penguins, though some are AUs in which the characters have always been penguins, and occasionally the canon characters just deeply ponder (the meaning of) penguins.
