The first step in this trope is tearing down the Fourth Wall without Audience Participation. The creator(s) of the work have become characters in their fiction, often because their fictional characters have left the fiction and entered "our" reality. Usually this creates a Show Within a Show effect that doesn't normally exist.
Early versions of this trope were Played for Laughs, but the paradox of killing the creator had to be examined. Some stories had the work end after the creator was killed, while others go a secondary meta-level, or even leave the question of how the character can continue to exist without their creator open for the audience to answer.
See also Interactive Narrator, Author Avatar, Author Powers, Real-World Episode, and Who Writes This Crap?! Rage Against the Heavens is where the work considers the creator to be someone who lives in this world that they created.
To see one of our tropers suffering through this, check the self-demonstrating page.

The cast of Narbonic tries to revolt against the cartoonist for killing Dave. The cartoonist draws the female cast in gratuitous swimwear on a tropical beach, with a half-dozen sunbathing John Cusacks. They give up when the multicoloured drinks with umbrellas appear.

In Fame, Rosalie directly talks to her author Leo, but it's very clear that she's completely fictional, and that Leo is just inventing the dialogue for his own amusement. The distiction between fact and fiction is less clear with Leo's girlfriend Elisabeth, whose final chapter may or may not be just another story Leo invented after she's long since left him. It's even possible that all of the other stories in the novel are written by Leo too, and that only his own introduction chapter is "real". All of the events in the other chapters are hinted at as being things that are prominently on Leo's mind in his own chapter.

In reprints of the original Astro Boy manga, Osamu Tezuka added several introduction comics featuring him discussing various things related to the story & sometimes interacting with the characters. As a result he gets chewed out by Uran for not giving her a proper Origin Story, Lampe for giving him a deformed skull, and Mr. Mustachio for making the supposedly futuristic world of Astro Boy so darned mundane.

The popular Becoming Hero comic book/mixed media novel is a full fictional thesis delving into this scenario, in which a generic comic book superhero must come to grips with every trope his author ever threw at him to decide whether or not to murder his creator.

Sluggy Freelance:
In the stick figure Filler Strips, Torg eventually gets fed up with Pete doing them to take a vacation and does his best to force him to make an effort to draw them anyway. It doesn't work.
In the guest story "The Sluggite Koan", Bun-bun escapes into the real world and goes off to express his displeasure to Pete Abrams, the creator of the comic, with extreme prejudice as is his wont. Of course, this being a guest story, Pete isn't actually the author at the moment. Bun-bun is aware of this, and he does address the guest writer (through the fourth wall this time, not as a person in the story like Pete) at one point with a threat about writing his motivations as involving caring about someone. Come to think of it, that motive isn't mentioned any more in the story, being substituted with a new one... which just goes to prove everyone is afraid of Bun-bun, and with reason. The encounter left Pete himself with a broken arm in the real Real Life before the story appeared but at the time at which it was supposed to have happened. And that was after he managed to talk Bun-bun into a making deal instead of killing him. Don't mess with the bunny, and don't try to understand a koan.

The End: More like contempt for the author. The characters of an absurd Le Film Artistique cartoon find out that they're in a cartoon. Once they find that out, they mercilessly ridicule the animator for his absurd pretentiousness. The woman wants to know why she has no ears and is not convinced when the animator tells her that it's "stylistic streamlining." And here's what happens when the man asks why he has weird spokes coming out of his face.

In Berserk Abridged, Zodd often gets into arguments with hbi2k, the creator of the series and has beat him up on a few times. Particularly notable is the ending, where Zodd complains about how the creator doesn't use the original Downer Ending and changed it into a more upbeat ending. They both then try out Multiple Endings before settling on "The Hawkman Cometh" (using MC Hawkings with a scene of Femto).

This is the premise of Re:CREATORS. Characters from various works of fiction start appearing in the real world, and some of them want to have a word with their creators. The most prominent example is Aliceteria February, a dark fantasy heroine and Knight in Shining Armor who is furious to discover that the terrible war and strife of her world exists for the sake of entertainment. So furious, in fact, that she kidnaps the creator of her story and threatens him with death. She eventually lets him go after a Heel Realization.
A pettier example is Magane. She outrights murders her author (and is the only one to do so)... not because of anything done to her in-series, but because the guy couldn't immediately make her the most powerful person in the setting.
Another example comes in the form of Blitz, who was forced to Mercy Kill his daughter. He lists his grievances against his creator and even shoots her. However, this was planned by his creator and she manages to turn the tables on him, giving him exactly what he wanted in trade for his cooperation.

After the cartoonist arranges for one character to get Killed Off for Real, the entire cast goes on strike and refuses to move or talk until he reneges.
At a different point, another character gets back at the cartoonist by making a new character who is (intended to be) hard to draw.

Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies:
The short "Duck Amuck" is all about an argument between Daffy Duck and his animator (who of course, turns out to be Bugs Bunny.)
It happens again in Rabbit Rampage, where Bugs is the one who faces off with a malevolent and mischievous new animator, who turns out to be Elmer Fudd, looking to get one over on "that scwewy wabbit" for once.
But even before those, the 1941 Tex Avery short Tortoise Beats Hare begins with Bugs Bunny examining the title card, then flipping out when he sees the cartoon's title.

Dave the Barbarian: In the episode "A Pig's Story", THE DARK LORD CHUCKLES, THE SILLY PIGGY! determines that the one always responsible for his numerous failures is the one who whatever says, goes: the Narrator. So he captures the Narrator in order to make him tell a story where he wins. Unfortunately, the Narrator develops a nasty cough, rendering him unable to, well narrate, so the cast holds auditions for a stand-in. The one they get inverts this on poor Chuckles, stating his intentions to have the Barbarian family beat Chuckles "like a cheap drum", much to the latter's dismay.

Surviving Romance features a rare entirely in-universe example. Late into Season 1 it's revealed that the cause of the zombie outbreak is the original Chaerin Eun. She managed to realize on her own that she was just a character in a novel and was offered a way out, if she managed to find someone else to take her place in the plot. Her chosen victim was the author Huisu Kim, due to Chaerin resenting her for all the hardships she had to go through as part of the plot. That the process involves completely breaking Huisu emotionally is just a bonus to her.

Pretty much the entire plot of Flann O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds, in which an author creates a bunch of characters for a simple morality tale, and they promptly rebel. It doesn't end well for the author.

Comix Zone has the author commenting on how his own characters don't like him. To drive the point closer to home: "not liking him" means his character pulling him in his own comic book, and him and other characters trying to kill said author.

In the Harry Potter one-shot I'm Not Dead!, "Madame Gnilwor", an analogue of J.K. Rowling, argues with Fred and George and tries to take Fred (who's alive but temporarily paralyzed) away in a twisted reversal of a certain Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene because he's on her list.

IDW’s adaptation of Clue ends with the butler getting so angry over the way the comic is being written that he murders the editor, the letterer, the artist and finally the writer, before turning towards the reader. Though this was also a bit of He Knows Too Much, given that Mr. Boddy was having him eliminate all witnesses to how he faked his death and framed Mr. Green.

The Uncle Grandpa episode "Transitional Phase" has the main characters are mad that the episode's overuse of cuts and transitions causes them to miss a fancy dinner they've been planning for weeks. After learning to exploit this lazy editing to invoke flashbacks, they flash back to before the episode was animated, and Uncle Grandpa, Mr. Gus, Pizza Steve, Belly Bag and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger burst into a storyboarders' meeting. After realizing there are no transitions in the storyboarding, they talk directly to the camera at the editor, who is asleep at the computer with his finger on the "Automatic Transition" button. After waking up the overworked editor, Uncle Grandpa finishes the episode by himself, finishing with an Iris Out.

Coreline: Multiple characters throughout the stories complain about how the works of fiction they come from have moulded the perceptions of other people about how they are in (In-Universe) Real Life (for example, an Alternate Self version of Mari Illustrious Makinami that is the great-granddaughter of Captain America (long story) getting a hard time being seen as something more than just the battle-lusty Cloud Cuckoolander the movies show her as and getting proper recognition from her work). This kind of situation happens so often that there is an actual term for it in-universe, "Authored Rage".

Deadpool 2:
In the opening credits, the writers are described as "the real villains of the story" (contrasting with the first movie, which credits called them "the real heroes"). Obviously, Deadpool is salty about them killing off Vanessa at the start of the film.
In The Stinger, Deadpool travels through time before Ryan Reynolds accepts the script for Green Lantern (2011) and kills him. Considering Reynolds has partial writing credits, and how hard he worked to make the Deadpool movies possible, he certainly counts as an author.

SCP Foundation has this as one of the proposals for SCP-001. The Foundation has discovered its writers. It also has a backup plan should the writers ever decide to destroy them, by killing them all through memetic agents. And it's not just the writers. Note that the procedure in question carries a risk of destroying all of observable reality. And the memetic agents in question will be disseminated through the database itself. They've got plans to try to kill you, the reader, while you're on the site.

Though not played completely straight, in Seasons 4 and 5, Supernatural has had Sam and Dean shout at Author Avatar Chuck the Prophet because he has written their life story down and sold it as a series of novels. Given that Chuck has been revealed to be God as of Season 11, as well as him being the Final Boss of the 15th and final season, this is even more appropriate.

In a variant, the Sesame Street picture book The Monster at the End of This Book is about the conflict between an increasingly desperate Grover (who's read the title and doesn't want to get to the end of the book, because he's afraid of the monster) and the increasingly amused reader, who will insist on turning pages even when confronted by a "brick wall" ("Did you know that you are very strong?") As it turns out, the monster is Grover.

Dustin Rhodes burning his Goldust suit and Beaver Cleavage (Charles "Headbanger Mosh"/"Chaz" Warrington) are examples of wrestlers on air refusing to keep playing some lame gimmick (in Beaver Cleavage's case, a 50's schoolboy with a creepy attachment to his mother) and berating the writers for it. Though these are usually scripted rages, they more than likely have a basis in fact.

In Homestuck Spades Slick stabs Andrew Hussie, but he does that to everybody. Then, taking this trope to its logical conclusion, Eldritch Abomination Lord English appears behind the fourth wall, holding the severed head of the author's robotic avatar. Then he hunts down and shoots the author's main avatar. Eventually expanded on somewhat; As a child, Caliborn was the only character shown so far who recognized Hussie's narration within his head. The resulting rebellion against Hussie, and the narration's increasing railroading of his emotions, seems to have driven him even madder than he was.

In Delirious!, John Candy plays a soap opera script writer who gets pulled into the sitcom he was writing (mistaken for one of the characters). He still has the ability to change what's going on with his typewriter, but another writer is also working on the script, so the end result is two authors raging against each other (with proxies going after Candy's character).

A variant of this can be found in one strip. In fact this is so common that David Morgan-Mar has added his own character page
In a particularly complicated instance of the trope, in one story arc he's killed by a character from the strip... namely, himself. When he was about to announce which character from the strip was [going to be killed. And hadn't intended it to be himself who died.

This is essentially the entire premise of the TV show Westworld. Or being more specific, the routines that the robot "Hosts" are forced to go through (resulting in receiving humiliating acts of violence and sex on a constant basis by the guests) are labeled as "plots" and "stories" by the park's management. As a result, as A.I. Is a Crapshoot becomes more apparent and Hosts become more self-aware, they start to rebel against those who keep treating them as mere (highly expendable) characters in a live-action role-play.

The afterwords of the Slayers novels feature arguments between "L" (Lord of Nightmares, the creator deity of the Slayers world) and "A" (Author, Hajime Kanzaka). These arguments usually result in "A" being beaten up by "L" or "Minion S" for being behind schedule or not giving them any screentime.

In Adventure Comics Vol. 2 #4 and #5, this becomes Superboy-Prime's gimmick. He's moved on from hating the other characters, to hating the people at DC Comics. When he's convinced that he's about to die, he tries to take revenge by crashing through Dan Didio's window and trying to kill everyone in the building while lecturing them on the fact that the things they write about really happen and to stop screwing with his life.

David (the author of Shortpacked!) showed up at one point and fought Ethan. They then pudding wrestled (that was Robin's idea). Eventually the fight was broken up by Maggie (the writer's girlfriend), who demanded they exchange info and deal with it like adults (read: Maggie and David broke into Ethan's house and smashed up the place). Why were they fighting? David kept editing Ethan's Transformers Wiki page.

In the first chapters' omakes the author, assisted by Asuka, tells their alternate ideas to turn her into a super-heroine (before settling on Supergirl). Unfortunately their discarded ideas go from unfeasible to dumb, getting Asuka thoroughly embarrassed until she gets fed up with it and chases him angrily.

In The Fanmake Blooper Series, the climax of Blooper And The Beast happens the same way the climax for Beauty and the Beast happens... except instead of trying to kill the Beast, the assorted characters tried to kill the Author. They fail, as the author brainwashed their minds into acting just like the mob from the movie, with Shadow being brainwashed into being Gaston. However, once the Author's OC comes in and is told that he will love Bella, he refuses and soon kills him.

The Big O is what happens when the ruler of the setting realizes they're in a live-action movie series and starts a war just to complain about their lack of agency in their role.

Girl Genius:
In this strip, shortly following the comic winning a Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, Agatha seems dead-set on interrupting Phil and Kaja Foglio's acceptance speech, convinced that there has to be some sort of Mind Control (or bizarro parallel world) involved, and refusing to accept her creators' explanation that "Maybe we just won."
The Foglios flee the station at the end of the Radio Theatre interlude, because Agatha, Zeetha and Krosp are hot on their heels and intending to hurt them.
In-universe, the Foglios are actually natives of the Girl Genius universe, who fled to ours after their adaption of Agatha's life was poorly received. As such, younger (unmarried) versions of both of the authors have actually shown up within the comic on occasion. This never ends well for Phil.

In bethany_delleman's Pride and Prejudice story The Fourth Bennet Sister, three minor characters — Kitty Bennet, Charlotte Lucas, and Charles Bingley — come to realize, not only that they are in a novel, but also that they are minor characters in what is primarily the story of Elizabeth and Darcy. They struggle, with some success, to affect events in the novel, and to secure futures for themselves. At one point, Kitty makes a direct plea to Jane Austen, which the author apparently grants.

An episode of Doctor Slump involves author Akira Toriyama getting disgusted with the regulars and attempting to reboot the anime as "Toriyama in Babeland". He enlists the help of the lecherous Senbei Norimaki (Dr Slump), promising that the new show will be "Dr Slump in Babeland". Dr Slump rebels when he realises Toriyama plans for wholesale destruction of Penguin Village, hence foiling the author's scheme.

Ending E in NieR: Automata involves Pod 042 attempting to salvage 2B, 9S and A2's data and bring them back to life at the risk of his own death. And the way the process is abstracted is for all intents and purposes the playerbase themselves refusing to accept the game's choice of tragic endings and collectively fighting back against the end credits themselves, even sacrificing their own save files in the process, until the game relents and gives a more hopeful ending.

Little Nemo
In one installment, Nemo, Flip and Imp are so hungry that they begin tearing off lines from their comic panels and knocking down letters from the Little Nemo In Slumberland logo, eating them. Nemo worries that this will upset the artist but Flip maintains that it will teach the person who draws them a lesson.
Something similar happens in this comic, where eventually the entire panel collapses on itself and Nemo complains to the artist.

The Fall is about a man named Roy, who is telling a story to a girl named Alexandria who is staying in the hospital he's been confined to since he became paralyzed. As Roy is actually battling depression and suicidal, his story starts to go down a very, very dark path—so Alexandria rebels and takes over the telling of the story, including herself as a character and transforming the story to how she thinks it should be.

The Proud Family has Penny perform this at the end of the Hilarious Outtakes reel in "The Legend of Johnny Lovely", when she yells at Bruce Smith (the show's creator) to draw her a dressing room, where she can go sulk. He draws a trailer for her, only for her to demand a bigger dressing room. Bruce draws one big enough to fill a two-story building, which Penny promptly skates inside.

The title character of Mulberry ended her character bio by calling her creator a "repulsive little hack" because of his decision to write the bios from her perspective. Also, she later "responded" to a lack of comments on "Year Six" by saying she doesn't care for the cartoonist either, but still wanted people to read about her adventure.

The Animal Man story arc "Deus Ex Machina" is notable in that it plays this scenario for drama.
It also subverts it a bit; when Animal Man finally gets face to face with "Grant Morrison", he in true superhero fashion decides to take out some of his rage physically, only for "Morrison" to point out that doing so is futile; the real Morrison exists on a plane of reality that Animal Man can never access, "Morrison" himself is merely a fictional construct created to have someone for Animal Man to interact with, and that ultimately the real Morrison is still writing the words and actions that Animal Man is using to attack him. Animal Man will never truly get to rage against his author in any way outside boundaries created by that author.

Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton:
In the first chapters' omakes the author, assisted by Asuka, tells their alternate ideas to turn her into a super-heroine (before settling on Supergirl). Unfortunately their discarded ideas go from unfeasible to dumb, getting Asuka thoroughly embarrassed until she gets fed up with it and chases him angrily.
In another omake the author decides a Jimmy Olsen analogue is needed, and Kensuke is picked. When Kensuke realizes that being Jimmy Olsen is NOT something great, he glares at the author.

One of the villains' targets is Stephen King, the idea being that, if King is eliminated, he can't write the ending in which the heroes win.
Although the heroes have to protect King, they are NOT at all happy about it, after meeting him. And, when Jake dies again in a Heroic Sacrifice to save Stephen King, Roland and friends are more than a bit upset.

EXTRAPOWER: Star Resistance by way of an Easter Egg. Each stage has a secret that pops out when grabbing specific parts of the environment, which can then be collected for points. The secret of stage 2 has Needle Sandman himself pop out, dancing around the screen before eventually drifting off. Unlike other secrets, he cannot simply be picked up. You need to perform a Final Crash on Needle Sandman, destroying him to receive a gem worth a whole 1 extra point.

In Pearls Before Swine:
Cartoonist Stephan Pastis (who appears as an actual character) often gets the worst of it, as when he appeared at a signing of Rat's comic strip collection Dickie the Cockroach, tried to upstage him and promote the Pearls collections, and got beaten up with a baseball bat. He was even eaten by a "Raterpillar" to end a recent Alice in Wonderland-themed arc. Also, any time there is a pun strip, it will typically end with one of the characters, usually Rat, threatening or otherwise mocking Pastis.
Dickie himself escaped into the comics pages, and has on one occasion to date left Rat bound and gagged for being an idiot (the same offense Rat punished through Dickie in the comic-within-the-comic.)

A scene during the South Park Christmas Special "Woodland Critter Christmas" involves Stan intentionally disregarding the narration. Doing so ultimately results in a shouting match, culminating in Stan screaming at the narrator. The narrator of this story is in fact, Eric Cartman telling a story to the class, which puts a whole new spin on things. In the classroom, it's Kyle who rages against the author, as he regards it as a basically anti-Semitic tract: in the story, Eric has Kyle become the host for the Antichrist (eventually, willingly) because he is a non-Christian, and thus a heathen. Eric insists he is just telling a story and is not trying to offend Kyle, which doesn't stop him saying that Kyle inexplicably dies of AIDS at the end of the tale.
The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have joked that every time Kenny dies for any non-specific reason (there's no direct individual to blame), the "bastards" Stan and Kyle refer to whenever it happens are actually Trey and Matt themselves.
The B-plot of the "Vaccination Special" revolved around Conspiracy Theorist Mr. White and Mr. Garrison's attempt to take down the "Hollywood elites" controlling everything. When the two take up arms against them, their weapons are immediately disintegrated by lasers out of nowhere and they're teleported to an icy landscape. Mr. White then rants that "two people run the whole damn show" and is deformed in various ways before being turned into a giant penis. Mr. Garrison then decides to make a Deal with the Devil with them, and is able to resolve the episode's conflict with a Deus ex Machina.

Family Guy does this sometimes. In It's A Trap! Peter kept making fun of Seth Green (who plays Chris) and Chris defended him, while everyone else insulted Seth MacFarlane except Peter, Stewie and Brian (whom Seth plays). Another time, Peter insults the animators and as a result is animated very choppily in the next scene.

A famous moment during the MTV Awards Ceremony has the computer-animated character Gollum (from The Lord of the Rings movie) winning a special effect award. At first it seems his actor Andy Serkis is the one receiving it, but he's interrupted by Gollum himself picking up the award and then going on a rant, belittling Serkis, calling Peter Jackson a hack, and generally insulting everybody, with his nicer alter-ego Sméagol occasionally trying to rein him in and apologize. Hysterical.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: In "Whose Show Is This?", Jennifer Walters is extremely unhappy with how her series is wrapping up, so she pauses the show and goes to Marvel Studios to talk with "Kevin" about it. She then finds that Kevin is actually an advanced AI named Knowledge Enhanced Visual Interconnectivity Nexus, and she convinces him to rewrite the finale to something more satisfying.

In the omake section of Dramacon, Christie chases her for implying that she and Matt might not end up together, and Matt pushes her off a cliff after she tries to make him wear a gothic lolita dress. In turn, Svetlana doesn't take having her characters criticize her writing lying down—even during the main story.

Another Sondheim musical, Assassins, uses the trope again. During the song "Another National Anthem," the titular assassins become fed up with what they see as the empty sermonizing of the Balladeer, and run him off the stage (or, in more recent productions, turn him into Lee Harvey Oswald).

The Deadpool vs. Pinkie Pie episode of DEATH BATTLE! features Wade paying a visit to the staff of ScrewAttack, only for Pinkie to whisk Deadpool off after he mentions it's his birthday for a party, before he can do anything more than berate the staff.

In Season 8 episode 36 of Happy Heroes, Big M. meets the series creator Huang Weiming. When he realizes he's the one who's been putting him through so much agony, Big M. holds him at gunpoint and tries, unsuccessfully, to persuade him into giving him the elemental staffs he has been looking for all season.
