A Show Within a Show can be shockingly elaborate as the host series goes on, almost becoming a work in its own right. Some writers would rather spend all that worldbuilding time creating new standalone works, but that doesn't mean that their characters in another work can just sit around watching blank screens. Sometimes, a creator has two or more separate works of fiction that can't be part of the same universe, usually due to incompatible genres (e.g. a modern setting and Speculative Fiction), but one work could work as a work of fiction in the universe of another work. When a creator introduces one of their stories into one of their others as an In-Universe work of fiction, you get this trope. This helps advertise the creator's other works, acting as a form of Product Placement for the creator. Oftentimes the work being presented as fiction within fiction will be a different medium in the fictional universe, i.e. a film or tv series instead of a comic or book, which might be part of the creator's fantasy of getting their work adapted to a more "glamorous" medium. On the other hand, the characters might proclaim their creator's other work to be schlocky trash. A Sub-Trope of Company Cross References. Contrast Canon Welding, when two works initially presented as separate are later established to be the same universe. Can be an example of Defictionalization if the reference to the work came before the creator produced it in real life. |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: The Reveal has it where the previous entries in the franchise are treated as such when Tsumugi revealed that after the success of the original Danganronpa, Team Danganronpa decided to turn the franchise into a reality show by brainwashing people into thinking that they are actually Danganronpa characters. The fact that Tsumugi can cosplay as the characters from the first and second games is what gets the group to realize those characters are fictional as Tsumugi can't cosplay as real people. | |

William Dozier: Batman (1966): One episode features Bruce and Dick watching The Green Hornet - also produced by showrunner William Dozier - on TV. This in no way precludes Batman and Robin actually teaming up with the Hornet and Kato later in the season. | |

Jan Tigerknight: In Nine to Nine Tor and Andrea (aka "Silver") make Swords and Sausages as a series of web videos. Explaining how the characters can be in both comics but have drastically different personalities (especially Andrea/Silver). Though Andrea once stumbled upon a portal to the "S&S" verse. | |

Kujibiki♡Unbalance started as a Show Within a Show that the characters in Genshiken would often be seen reading the manga and cosplaying as. When Genshiken got an anime adaptation, clips for Kujibiki Unbalance were specifically made to be shown on televisions within the narrative, and those same clips would later be repurposed within its own anime adaptation. | |

Gosho Aoyama frequently cross-promotes his various manga series this way; maybe the best-known example is Ch. 2 of Case Closed, which features Vol. 1 of his first series Magic Kaito in the Kudos' library - long before the two series were kinda-sorta canon-welded into each other. | |

The idea behind The Multiversity is that every universe in the DC Comics multiverse has comics that portray the events of other universes. For example, Mastermen shows Hitler reading an American Crusader comic, depicting the champion of Earth 8, while Pax Americana shows Captain Atom reading Ultra Comics, which depicts events in Earth 33. | |

her tears were my light is an odd case. In the Lonely Wolf Treat games, there are two characters named Thyme and Spice who claim to be fans of the aforementioned story and like to cosplay as its main characters Time and Space. However, the webcomic another piece of candy would later reveal that Thyme and Spice are mortal incarnations of Time and Space. So basically, Time and Space were reborn in an alternate universe where their own universe is a work of fiction. | |

Miki Yoshikawa: In Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, as an excuse to spend time with Shiraishi after school, Yamada starts dropping by a bookstore with her to buy volumes of the light novel series There's No Way This Bad Boy Would Fall For Ms. Four-Eyes!! by Mikihiko Yoshikawa, a play on Yoshikawa's earlier manga series Flunk Punk Rumblenote The light novel's title is an expanded version of the original Japanese title Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, meaning Delinquent Boy and Glasses Girl, with some differences in character design. Oddly, Flunk Punk Rumble's Daichi Shinagawa had previously made a cameo appearance, and the first appearance of the light novel came right after a crossover special between the two series, with the anime including other cameos of the characters. | |

Tom Six: Each of the sequels to The Human Centipede portray the previous film as being a work of fiction In-Universe, with the depraved acts depicted in the previous work inspiring the Villain Protagonist of the subsequent film. The alternate ending to the third film takes this into Mind Screw territory, with Dr. Heiter, the creator of the centipede from the original film, apparently ''dreaming the events of the third movie. | |
