This is where the events of a work are made into a film or book that is considered Based on a True Story, or similar, within the story itself (but not outside it). This often comes with Legendary in the Sequel. Note: This is In-Universe only. Not to be confused with Direct Line to the Author and Recursive Canon. |

As of First Amongst Sequels, the first three Thursday Next novels sort of exist in the Nextiverse, although they're very different to the real world versions. Until Thursday alters them to match our versions, just as she did to Jane Eyre in the first book. Thursday's unwanted fame has therefore increased, and worse yet, people expect her to act like the fictionalised version. | |

Fox's memoir in Inda, which details the events of the Inda books, exists in two versions within the Sartorias Deles universe - one is heavily abridged and used as propaganda for his descendants, and the other is apparently a much more detailed, accurate version that very few people are aware of and which is hidden in a secret chamber in what was once his home. | |

Lewis Padgett's short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" applies this trope retroactively to another famous series of books. In the story, a scientist millions of years in Earth's future sends two boxes of strange toys back through time, where they are discovered by children. The main plot centers on the box that lands in 1942 (contemporary time when the story was published); Scott and Emma, a brother and sister, find the toys and begin to display Troubling Unchildlike Behavior as they influence them. The toys compel the pair to build a strange machine, but they can't quite figure out how to make it work because they lack a key equation to activate it. The solution is presented when readers discover where the other box landed—"the latter half of the nineteenth century." There, an unnamed little girl hums a poem to herself, to the delight of a nearby adult taking care of her. He remarks that he will put the rhyme in one of the books he is writing, which are based on the stories the girl's "magical toys" tell her, although he has to change them immensely to make them understandable to others. The girl then refers to him as "Uncle Charles," revealing her identity as Alice Liddell—the poem is "Jabberwocky," and the stories are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice herself is too old to be fully affected by the toys, but the books, and especially "Jabberwocky," are "the way out" and provide Emma and Scott the equation they need to activate their machine and vanish through time and space. | |

Also in Marvel Comics, The Sentry originally was based on a supposedly lost series of comics from the Silver Age, featuring a more traditional invulnerable-and-superstrong character. The new series dealt with why nobody remembers this classic character existing before in a very meta-way. They come up with a save-the-world explanation in the fictional universe for his fictional nature... then it gets complicated. | |

The series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise was controversially framed as a non-interactive holodeck recording being viewed by Next Generation characters Troi and Riker, who occasionally paused the episode to discuss things. Early rumors suggested that the entire series would be revealed to be a holodeck recording (or worse, a simulation), but there's no evidence of this in the aired episode. As was done by the Enterprise novel The Good That Men Do, which proposes that what Riker watched was Trip's cover story, and that he'd really gone undercover in Romulan space. The novel verse takes this explanation and runs with it. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: In Transit by Ben Aaronovitch, Kadiatu's collection of research materials about the Doctor includes an opera based on the events of Aaronovitch's earlier Doctor Who adventure "Battlefield". Lucifer Rising mentions a holodrama Very Loosely Based On the events of "The Seeds of Death", with no mention of the Doctor and his companions, and a Token Romance grafted on. Near the end of Salvation, there's a mention that the events inspired a Very Loosely Based movie starring Peter Cushing as a heroic (human) scientist in place of the Doctor. The novelization to "Day of the Doctor" has the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors sit down and watch the two Doctor Who movies starring Peter Cushing movies then ring him with their ideas for a third. Some Paul Magrs' stories like Bafflement and Devotion and The Magrs Conundrum! have him as an in-universe biographer who writes his books based on The Doctor and Iris Wildthyme's adventures Also by Magrs, the Brenda and Effie series is loosely connected to the Doctor Who universe. The "Brenda's B&B" short story mentions an in-universe Brenda and Effie series of books based on the characters. Forever Autumn says that Jar Jar Binks managed to make telepathic contact with George Lucas who created the Star Wars franchise based on what he thought were his own ideas. Sherlock Holmes is often true in the Whoniverse but the source varies: All Consuming Fire has Holmes actually existing and is written from Doyle's point of view in a Direct Line to the Author style. John Peel's Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel, Evolution says that Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on the Fourth Doctor after seeing him wearing a deerstalker cap. The plot has similarities to The Hound of the Baskervilles and presumably inspired Doyle to write it. Sherlock Holmes inconsistent existence is actually justified in the Faction Paradox short story, "The Book of the Enemy" where Holmes reads the titular book and gets turned into a fictional character. "The Book of the Enemy" story mentioned above also has Sherlock saying that The War of the Worlds is based on an actual Martian invasion realising that the War In Heaven is messing with reality and turning it into fiction. The James Swallow novel Peacemaker says that Jules Verne was inspired to write 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea after an adventure with The Doctor but had to be persuaded not to mention the Silurians. The Wonderful Doctor Of Oz has Missy placing L. Frank Baum in a recreation of Oz. Although he gets his memory erased afterwards, the ending implies subconscious memories of this influenced him writing The Marvelous Land of Oz. Eoin Colfer's "A Big Hand For The Doctor" short story had The Doctor visit 1900 and fight Space Pirates who levitate children with an anti-gravity beam. This is witnessed by an author who's implied to be JM Barrie who wrote it into a book. |

In The Thing #7, Goody Two-Shoes was a supervillain. Kinda. He appeared only once, had nuclear-powered shoes, and kicked the hell out of the Thing by himself. Then the Thing managed to defeat his terrible foe. Then, the "real" Thing read the comic-book and went to the editorial absolutely pissed. We realize then that Goody Two-Shoes was defeated with a flick from the Thing, and they made up the whole fight to make the story interesting. Then the Thing does them something... uh... interesting. | |

The BBV Probe audiobook, Guardian At The Gate has a time-displaced H. P. Lovecraft saying that he was a Guardian of the Gates, tasked with mediating between humanity and beings outside its comprehension. Lovecraft gradually realises that he was channeling true, subconscious insights through his fiction, in order to warn humanity. Lovecraft claims to be descended from underwater beings he sees in his dreams, implying him to be the unnamed part-Deep One narrator from "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". | |

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance starts in a world very similar to the real world, in which the Final Fantasy series exists. The plot starts with the discovery of a book that causes, in effect, fiction to become reality, and ends up creating an (in-universe imaginary) world very similar to that of Final Fantasy XII, but with some clear differences. In other words, this is The Game Come to Life crossed with A True Story In My Universe as a justification of why the game is set in a Final Fantasy-like world despite belonging to a different continuity from the other games in its series. | |

The pronunciation guide at the back of the Deverry books by Katherine Kerr includes references to an ongoing fued between the author and a professor of Elvish about the simplifications she uses. There are also a few references in the text itself suggesting that the books were written by a Deverrian, some centuries after the period in which they're set. The final book names this author as Cadda Cerrmor, which in Deverrian would be pronounced "Katha Kerr-mor". | |

The SCP Foundation universe has a breakfast cereal parodying Cocoa Puffs called "Super Coco Pows". The Sonny the Cuckoo Bird parody, Bradbury Buzzard is based on SCP-1160. A giant bird that gets weaker the more people who know about it. Given that the Foundation's entire purpose is to preserve the Masquerade, the best way to keep it known but secret at the same time was to turn it into a cereal mascot. | |

Supernatural: In Monster at the End of the Book, Chuck is seeing visions and writing them down, believing them to be fiction. However, it turns out later that they are a divine prophecy telling the actions of the main characters, and that his writings will eventually become holy texts. In the show's universe, Oz is a real place and L. Frank Baum based his books on his experiences there. |

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! reveals that the beings of the Cthulhu Mythos were simply members of alien races, and in particular one Nyarlathotepian told H. P. Lovecraft stories from space that he turned into the Mythos. However, it's unclear just how accurate the stories are; the series remains vague as to whether or not the title character is the Nyarlathotep or simply a member of the same race with the same name and a vastly different personality. | |

All of the Daniel Hawthorne Novels by Anthony Horowitz: The Word Is Murder, The Sentence Is Death, A Line to Kill, and A Twist of the Knife. Horowitz writes himself into the series as an Author Avatar, with the conceit being that he is writing true crime books about the exploits of master detective Daniel Hawthorne. When A Line to Kill appears to be ending with an unsatisfactory Anticlimax, Horowitz worries that he may not be able to write a book. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are revealed at the end to share the same title as a book written by the lead character at the end of each (There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Holiday and The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King, respectively). Bilbo's uncompleted "Translations from the Elvish" is claimed to be the (then-unfinished) Silmarillion. The hypothesis was also used to excuse a Retcon of The Hobbit. In the original edition of the book, Gollum is quite willing to hand over the Ring itself as a prize for winning the riddle contest — utterly out of character given the plot of The Lord of the Rings, so later editions change that scene. The preface of The Lord of the Rings justifies the correction by noting that Bilbo himself wrote the original The Hobbit as memoirs and, already slightly corrupted by the Ring, lied about how he got it when he put the tale to paper; Gandalf eventually talked him into revealing the truth. The Red Book itself is said to have a companion volume of "Translations from the Elvish", which presumably contains the source material of The Silmarillion. Many of those texts are attributed to specific Elvish scribes. The Akallabêth (one of the stories in The Silmarillion) is attributed to Elendil, a Man, and supposedly came from a copy of the Red Book as preserved in Gondor, rather than as one of Bilbo's translations. |

The Resident Evil series (titled Denizen Evil here) was a Second-Age adaptation of the "Parasol Crisis", in which a group of brave souls attempted to stop both the corrupt Parasol Corporation and the Undead scourge the company created. When the video-game developers of the Denizen Evil series learned the events in the game really did happen, they understandably freaked out. | |

In the Marvel Universe there is a "Marvel Comics" company that re-tells the exploits of various heroes as comic books. They're quasi-journalists, and their work is thus used as historical research in legal comedy series She-Hulk. In continuity, the Fantastic Four regularly popped by the Marvel offices to lambast the staff who were supposed to be telling their stories over plot elements that they didn't like. Similarly, Steve Rogers not only lectured writers and editors for making him too violent, but also at one point penciled his own comic. Most issues of What If?? are told by the Watcher, who watches not just the usual Marvel Universe, but the whole multiverse. Also in Marvel Comics, The Sentry originally was based on a supposedly lost series of comics from the Silver Age, featuring a more traditional invulnerable-and-superstrong character. The new series dealt with why nobody remembers this classic character existing before in a very meta-way. They come up with a save-the-world explanation in the fictional universe for his fictional nature... then it gets complicated. Both the Patsy Walker humour book and the original version of the Two-Gun Kid are explained as being works of fiction in the Marvel Universe based very loosely on the canonical characters, making them a sort of Untrue Story in My Universe. Most citizens of Marvel Earth believe the Frankenstein Monster to be a fictional character, and don't realize Shelley's novel was based on real events. Ditto for almost every character from Norse and Greek mythology. In The Thing #7, Goody Two-Shoes was a supervillain. Kinda. He appeared only once, had nuclear-powered shoes, and kicked the hell out of the Thing by himself. Then the Thing managed to defeat his terrible foe. Then, the "real" Thing read the comic-book and went to the editorial absolutely pissed. We realize then that Goody Two-Shoes was defeated with a flick from the Thing, and they made up the whole fight to make the story interesting. Then the Thing does them something... uh... interesting. The Marvel Boy The Uranian miniseries reveals that the original Marvel Boy tales are in-universe comics published by the comic book company Atlas, fictionalizing Robert Grayson's adventures. In She-Hulk (2004), Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway's law library contains nothing but boxes of Marvel comics. It is explained that, within the Marvel Universe, Marvel comics are all true, and are licensed by the superheroes who star in them, and, prior to 2002, were certified by The Comics Code Authority, a government agency, and are therefore admissible in any courtroom in the United States. In The Immortal Thor, Dario Agger intends on buying out Marvel Comics in order to turn them into effectively a propaganda machine that he'll use to tell his version of the superheroes' stories. |

Doctor Who: The "War Of The Worlds" story from "Tales Of The TARDIS" series has The Doctor talking about his friend, George experiencing a Martian invasion. The ending reveals George to be H. G. Wells, implying this was the inspiration for War of the Worlds. The "Peaceful Thals Ambushed!" story in TV Century 21 had Dr. Who and the Daleks as a movie based on the Dalek-Thal war that The BBC had recently covered. The TV Action story, "The Eternal Present" has The Doctor team up with a Victorian time traveler called Theophilus Tolliver. At the end of the story, Theo recounts his adventure to his friend, H. G. Wells. Implying that Theo is the inspiration for the unnamed protagonist of The Time Machine. In "The Weeping Angels of Mons" Titan story, Jamie compares the TARDIS to Welles' Time Machine and The Doctor says that "Herbert" stole the idea from him. The Doctor Who (Titan): Tenth Doctor story, "Echo" has The Doctor mentioning he was present for the events that inspired King Kong. |

Dungeons & Dragons is implied to be this in the d20 Modern Urban Arcana setting (at least in Broad Strokes fashion). The adventure in the sourcebook mentions that the first mage you encounter runs a bookshop with a tabletop RPG section, drinks coffee from a "World's #1 wizard" mug, and D&D is the game that started it all. Plus, you met Estevan from the "Planar Trade Consortium", both being important actors in the Planescape D&D setting, who explicitly makes trips between the shadow and the modern world. | |

John Peel's Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel, Evolution says that Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on the Fourth Doctor after seeing him wearing a deerstalker cap. The plot has similarities to The Hound of the Baskervilles and presumably inspired Doyle to write it. | |

The Real Denton Affair pretends that The Rocky Horror Picture Show is Very Loosely Based on a True Story with most of the science fiction elements being made up for the movie or Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. The sequel Shock Treatment was a lighthearted retelling of a religious cult taking over the town a few years after. |

Milhouse asks why there are Bart masks and is told they came with the Bart Simpson cereal that ties in with Bart's comic book. When Milhouse asks why Bart has his own comic book, Comic Book Guy tells him his questions are becoming as tedious as the last three Highlander movies. | |

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Miles universe features a popular comic series called "True Life Tales of Spider-Man". The comics give Spidey a fictional alter-ego named "Billy Barker," who happens to look exactly like the 1960s version of Peter Parker. The sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse shows Miles' roommate, Ganke playing Marvel's Spider-Man 2, presumably based on Spidey's adventures here. The protagonist also appears as one of the alternate universe Spider-Men. |

There are a half dozen hints (one of which had to be decoded by the reader in order to be understood) across 4 different books released in that last 5 years that hint at something that makes a lot of sense, that Clan Wolverine joined Comstar after fleeing the Homeworlds, and during the next 300 years quietly gained significant influence over the organization, and after the Word of Blake Schism have nearly complete control over Word of Blake. The point of all of this was to try to unite the Inner Sphere under their leadership against the eventual clan invasion. The rumors surrounding what happened to them are among the oldest in canon, with the very first ground work laid years before the clan invasion event, which started in 1988. More and more rumors were added over the following 2 decades, weaving a murky and complicated tapestry of half-truths, rumors, and questionable intelligence reports. Even among diehard fans, the above spoiler is open to question, as the actual events that make the connection happened centuries ago in canon. Deep and complicated mysteries are quite at home in a universe with 800 years of history, including a 300 year period with maybe 2 decades of peace, in fact things being lost into the pages of history and coming back, (possibly with a vengeance) are a recurring theme in BattleTech. | |

Tom Strong: Tom has an in-universe comic based on his adventures. The first issue shows a kid reading a comic with the same cover as Issue #1. Most of the issue is Tom's origin story that the kid is reading. Characters will occasionally lean on the fourth wall and mention earlier stories under the issue number they occurred in, but here referring to the in-universe comic book. In reality, Kirk Alyn played Superman in two serials. Here, he played Tom in two serials based on his adventures. |

Mentioned in Hook, the film "sequel" to Peter Pan. Wendy Darling and Peter Pan had adventures that Wendy later told to J.M. Barrie who, we presume, made a few changes, which accounts for the inconsistencies between the book and film. For example, Captain Hook is eaten by the crocodile in the book whereas in the film, Hook escaped the crocodile and killed it instead. | |

The ending of Urban Legend reveals that the events of the film had become, well, an urban legend, told to a new group of college students by the surviving killer Brenda. The students soon start arguing over the various details they heard of what really happened during the massacre, indicating that the film we just saw was told to us by an Unreliable Narrator. | |

In Logan we see some real life X-Men comics based on the in-universe group's adventures. Logan mentions they are pretty inaccourate, lampshading the huge differences between comic- and movie versions. For example, the in-universe comics depict the original comics' costumes, while the X-Men in film series usually wear darker uniforms. | |

In this way, Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks (and to some extent, the novels and other works) are supposed to be propaganda, either by the faction they relate to, or by the Imperium of Man. (This provides a neat get-out clause for any plot holes or continuity snarls.) | |

Sherlock Holmes is often true in the Whoniverse but the source varies: All Consuming Fire has Holmes actually existing and is written from Doyle's point of view in a Direct Line to the Author style. John Peel's Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel, Evolution says that Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on the Fourth Doctor after seeing him wearing a deerstalker cap. The plot has similarities to The Hound of the Baskervilles and presumably inspired Doyle to write it. Sherlock Holmes inconsistent existence is actually justified in the Faction Paradox short story, "The Book of the Enemy" where Holmes reads the titular book and gets turned into a fictional character. |

Codex Equus: The Resident Evil series (titled Denizen Evil here) was a Second-Age adaptation of the "Parasol Crisis", in which a group of brave souls attempted to stop both the corrupt Parasol Corporation and the Undead scourge the company created. When the video-game developers of the Denizen Evil series learned the events in the game really did happen, they understandably freaked out. Similarly, the Dead Space series was another Second-Age adaptation of real-life events, this time based on the "Ishimura Incident" where both the United Tellus Government and their alien allies purged the Second Age's Church of Unitology to destroy malicious xeno influence through the Markers the Church's members worshiped, and to prevent corruption of innocent people into space zombies. According to BrutalityInc, both Dead Space and Denizen Evil were based on psychic visions on the future that occurred long before the actual events happened, which served as inspirations for the respective franchises. The G1 children's book, My Little Pony: Glory the Magic Unicorn, was a Lighter and Softer First-Age adaptation of what happened to Queen Magus Kawan, then known as Glory from G1, in her mortal fillyhood. Like in the story, Glory teleported herself to a Human kingdom out of desire for acceptance, ran afoul of the wizard Omar who cut off her horn, and befriended the young Prince Rudolph over their shared loneliness. But unlike the book, Glory's loss of her horn was treated seriously, Omar was an Evil Sorcerer seeking to seize the throne from Rudolph's father, King David, and both Rudolph and Glory worked together to expose Omar's treachery. Glory also stayed friends with Rudolph long after their adventure ended, and continued visiting him until the day he died of old age. |

Played with in The Laundry Files: despite the fact Bob Howard lives in a world where Eldritch Abominations are expected to destroy the world any day now, and the government has a peace treaty with the Deep Ones, he's clear that the works of H. P. Lovecraft should not be considered factual. They're closer to reality than most people realise, but HPL was writing fiction, not history. Mostly. | |

Planetary: Elijah Snow's first big adventure was in 1919, where he hunts down a conspiracy of 19th-century geniuses/monsters; "The Baron and his creature" aka Frankenstein. John Griffin, The Invisible Man. Robur the Conqueror. Carnacki the Ghost-Finder. Dracula. Others included H. G. Wells... ...and their leader, Sherlock Holmes. Notably, once defeated, Holmes admits that their conspiracy had gone way past the Moral Event Horizon; the theories they championed - eugenics, re-education, controlled economies - would go on to create the evil empires that soaked the 20th century in blood. He's such a Graceful Loser he spends his final years teaching Elijah all his methods, in the hopes his successor would correct his mistakes. The Gun Club from Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon also make an (obviously posthumous) appearance in one strip, when their primitive spacecraft crashes to Earth, containing the skeletons of three members. It's revealed that their bullet-ship fell into a stable orbit around the Earth and the moon for over a century before finally falling out of the sky. |

Doctor Who: In "Timelash", the stowaway on the TARDIS turns out to be H. G. Wells and is implied to have written The Time Machine based on his adventure in the future. In "The Snowmen" Arthur Conan Doyle is implied to have based Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson by Madame Vastra and Jenny. Word of God said "Day of the Doctor" was going to reveal that the Peter Cushing Doctor Who movies, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. were made in-universe based on The Doctor's adventures but the idea was scrapped because they didn't have legal permission to show the posters. It made it into the novelization though. In "The Haunting of Villa Diodati", it's implied Mary Shelley got the inspiration for Frankenstein from the evening's events. |

Two episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys involve Herc in the modern day as an actor named Kevin Sorbo working on a Hercules series. It's implied that the show we're seeing is the same one being produced in-universe. Herc's reactions to some of the producer's decisions also suggest that any goofs and continuity errors in this show - and by extension, the aforementioned Xena - are a result of the events being misinterpreted over time or the show staff trying to spice it up, so we're not seeing the "true" events that happened. | |

Ask Ernst Stavro Blofeld is set in a world where the classic James Bond movies are documentaries/biopics based on the career of a real secret agent. The Daniel Craig reboot films were created because the producers had to start making things up when the real Bond retired after Blofeld was arrested. Blofeld accuses Bond of sometimes meddling in the film production to give himself a Historical Hero Upgrade or make Blofeld look stupid. | |

Astro City: Comic book companies publish titles based on both their own fictional characters and licensed real-life supers. The ones based on real heroes are more popular, but are also required to stay within known facts; Manny Monkton of Bulldog Comics repeatedly gets into trouble when he pushes the boundaries. The end of "The Dark Age" reveals that the entire story is an embellished novelization of what had happened in-universe, with some details changed, including the real names of the main protagonists. Duncan Keller writes stories based on his adventures as Starfighter, presenting them as fictional. |

Macross: Do You Remember Love? is usually referred to as a movie made after the actual events of Super Dimension Fortress Macross — in the Macross universe it's essentially "based on a true story." This is lampshaded in Macross 7, in which Mylene and Basara appear in a remake of the movie, and Max and Miriya (who were there for the original events) comment on some of the exaggerations and distortions therein. Macross Frontier had an episode which adapted the events of Macross Zero into a movie, which was mainly an excuse to lavishly reanimate some of the more distinctive bits of Macross Zero, as well as allude to similarities between the characters of both series. It was based on Bird Human, the biography of one of the main characters of Macross Zero. Word of God apparently has it that all Macross works are this. We do not see the actual events, we see in-universe media about the actual events (like a World War II movie in our reality). This neatly explains any incoherencies within the canon, as the media creators might have different viewpoints. |

The movie features many notable deviations from "reality"; for instance, Nooroo specifically requested that his counterpart become the Greater-Scope Villain because he knows that Hawk Moth is such a Control Freak that he'd be outraged by the suggestion that he wasn't in control, even in a clearly fictional adaptatation. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dracula is an actual vampire and his namesake novel was a result of him selling his life story to Bram Stoker. Other vampires hate him for this since it made humans far more aware of vampire weaknesses. | |

Digimon Tamers is possibly unique in the Digimon canon as it is set in a world where the Digimon franchise exists. Takato actually has Digimon trading cards and has seen season one and two! This becomes even more interesting when the kids realize that the people who made the Digimon used their work to start the franchise. | |

Return of the Living Dead established early on that George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead (1968) was made to cover up the leak of a gas called 2-4-5 Trioxin that brought the dead back to life. Unfortunately for the protagonists, the government cover-up decided to maintain certain things that really could have helped them, such as the fact these zombies are damn near unkillable, even shrugging off getting their heads torn off. | |

In She-Hulk (2004), Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway's law library contains nothing but boxes of Marvel comics. It is explained that, within the Marvel Universe, Marvel comics are all true, and are licensed by the superheroes who star in them, and, prior to 2002, were certified by The Comics Code Authority, a government agency, and are therefore admissible in any courtroom in the United States. | |

In Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Young Neil apparently writes a script in his sleep for a movie that follows the plot of the original comics. It's even directed by Edgar Wrong (a parody of Edgar Wright who directed Scott Pilgrim vs. The World). The movie gets cancelled but made into a stage musical. It turns out to be written by a future version of Ramona adapted from a book that Old Young Neil wrote about she and Scott's lives in the original timeline. | |

In The Sign Of Four, Sherlock Holmes comments that he's read the account Watson titled A Study In Scarlet, and wasn't impressed. He is equally scathing about Watson's continuing efforts in other stories, including one that he narrates himself. In "The Final Problem", Watson explains that he feels compelled to put (what he believes to be) Holmes's last case to paper in order to counteract the claims made by Moriarty's brother. | |

Burger Shop: Midway through the game, in the intro to the Beach Hut stage, the Featureless Protagonist licenses their restaurant chain's name to GoBit Games (the game's actual development studio), who are interested in making "a computer game with a 'restaurant game mechanic' based on [their] unique food service techniques." In exchange, they get a large amount of money and a private cruise. | |

Millarworld: Wanted says the world used to be a Standard Superhero Setting until the villains teamed up and built a machine that altered reality, turning the superheroes into actors in movies and TV shows. Superhero media is written by people who subconsciously remember the old world. The superheroes are unnamed Lawyer Friendly Cameos of the DC heroes though Word of God later retconned the Superman Substitute to being the Utopian from Jupiter's Legacy. | |

In the Hasbroverse, Megan Williams wrote children's books titled My Little Horsey based on her adventures with the ponies. It was soon after everyone on Earth knows of the existence of Equestria did they realize those stories are in fact true. Conversely, Megan's exploits in Equestria have become Shrouded in Myth, and "The Mag'ne" is now only slightly less revered than fully-accredited Physical Goddesses Celestia and Luna. Megan is not terribly comfortable with this. | |
