Sometimes, when main characters are writers/animators/mangaka/directors, they write/film/draw a story including the main characters from the actual story. Though this is not a common thing, it's still worth the mention.

At one point in Terranigma you meet a game designer who works at Quintet, who says that he'll make a game with the main character as the hero.

The titular character of Bones writes novels about her life as a criminal anthropologist. This is actually Truth in Television - the show is loosely based on the life of Real Life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, who wrote a series of novels based on her life and career.

True Tears' main character, Shin'ichiro, is drawing a story about a rooster that tries to fly. This 'flying' aspect is actually the point of the entire anime.

Happens again in Dragon Age: Inquisition, during which other characters ask him if he's going to write a book about the Inquisition. He demurs, saying they're not interesting enough; however, by the end of the main campaign, he changes his mind and says he'll call it All This Shit Is Weird: The Inquisitor [Surname] Story. He completes it by the end of the Trespasser DLC, which is set a couple years later, and the player is treated to Cassandra reading excerpts out loud over the end credits, complete with terrible impressions of her friends.

In Supernatural, a character is chosen to become a prophet of God, and begins having dreams chronicling the adventures of the lead characters. (Basically, he's seeing what the show's audience is seeing.) Not knowing that his visions are true, he proceeds to write them down as books and publish them under a pen name. Needless to say, he's a bit shocked when he finds out the truth, and is flung headlong into his own world filled with demons and monsters. Of course, it is later implied that said character is actually God.

Toujou from Strawberry 100% writes fantasy novels. At one point, the main character has to choose among some girls. Just as Manaka has to choose. Also, the films they make together differ very little from reality.

In NCIS, McGee has a successful book series that may be the least well-veiled example in history, with "characters" sharing all but one letter of their names with their real-world counterparts. One character's name doesn't even get that much, being changed from Jimmy Palmer to Pimmy Jalmer.

This is the framing device of Dragon Age II - Varric has written a book, The Tale of the Champion, about the exploits of his best friend Hawke. Hawke is on the run from the Chantry, and since he clearly knows everything about Hawke, they figure Varric's the guy to ask about it all. The game unfolds as Varric explains the details of his book to Cassandra Pentaghast.
Happens again in Dragon Age: Inquisition, during which other characters ask him if he's going to write a book about the Inquisition. He demurs, saying they're not interesting enough; however, by the end of the main campaign, he changes his mind and says he'll call it All This Shit Is Weird: The Inquisitor [Surname] Story.

The epilogue of Golden Kamuy reveals that one of the cast members moved to the United States and made a Hollywood movie based on the events of the manga, with the caveat that the protagonists were looking for Native American gold in the US instead of Ainu gold in Hokkaido. The film bombed hard, but it was at least appreciated as a cult classic decades later.

Both the main characters from Throw Momma from the Train do this at the end after the plot is resolved. Billy Crystal's character (the one who is an actual author) is outraged that his former student, played by Danny DeVito, may have beaten him to market with the same story and seems to consider actually murdering the man out of anger; but DeVito's work turns out to be a children's book with a family-friendly ending, and they end up happy for each other and successful.
