Fan Casting Adaptation Expansion

Description of Adaptation Expansion:

This is the complete opposite of Compressed Adaptation. It occurs when a short, very simple tale is adapted into a medium with much larger space requirements, such as film or serial television. To meet the size requirements, the storyline will have to be padded with some new stuff, and sometimes a lot of it. Cue Alternative Character Interpretations that require elaborate backstories, minor characters given much larger parts, completely new characters, and sometimes Plot Holes, sequels when the source material had none, Plot Tumors, and a triple dozen subplots that were not in the original work, to name but a few examples.
