Sounds like [[This Is Reality]], but it's very different.

Line 34:
* Flirted with in ''[[The Sandman]]''. Dream's normal home is, of course, the Dreaming, but he can visit the waking world (the "real" world) whenever he wants. The last book in the series is titled "The Wake" and it's narrated in the [[Second Person Narration|second person]], implying you (the reader) are watching current events.

* The ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20070127074626/http://rec.horus.at/trek/fun/Weird.Planet.txt Visit to a Weird Planet]'' had Kirk, Spock, and McCoy accidentally being beamed onto the set of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''. A sequel had the actors beamed onto the real Enterprise. Indeed, this is a common plot for fanfiction.
* Notably used in a ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]]'' [http://www.kristensheley.com/bttf/interactiveII.html fanfic], where accidental interaction with the creators and actors changes them to earlier drafts. Interference with Michael J. Fox's audition causes Marty's appearance to change to that of [[The Other Marty|Eric Stoltz]], flying past Bob Gale causes the DeLorean [[Time Machine]] to revert to a refrigerator, and tearing off a page establishing the [[MacGuffin|almanac]] from the sequel's screenplay wipes out all the events stemming from Marty buying it in 2015.
* The [http://shifti.org/wiki/Xanadu_(setting) Xanadu storyverse], in which at a fairly large convention called "[[Title Drop|Xanadu]]" all of the [[Becoming the Costume|costumes become real]]. While most stories focus on weirdness and some on [[Furry Fandom|furries]], naturally a number of cosplayers were featured, with varying levels of mental change, from "Whoa, suddenly my costume is perfect!" to "Where is this place? Where did my [[True Companions]] go?" Two stories have [[Refugee From TV Land|characters and such from fictional fiction]]; [http://shifti.org/wiki/Slinx Slinx], a [[Pokémon]] [[Expy]], and [http://shifti.org/wiki/The_Perils_of_Voice_Acting The Perils Of Voice Acting], a pastiche of He-Man, She-Ra, and other cartoons from that period.
* Way back in 2002, someone wrote a story called the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130917203449/http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=339 Fanfic Lounge.] It took place in a lounge made for fictional characters so they could relax between fanfics. While I'm not sure how many spin offs were made, this one was about the [[The Lord of the Rings]] cast, along with Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom, being gathered in the lounge in order to find a solution to the problems plaguing LOTR fanfiction. IIRC, this is where the LOTR cast discovers their fictional status, and Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood are just as weirded out at meeting their fictional counterparts. The story featured the culture shock scenario for the LOTR cast was, and contained such gems as: {{spoiler|Boromir trying to open a can of Mountain Dew with a dagger, the cast becoming confused at references to future events in the books/movies (the cast was taken some time before the splitting of the Fellowship), and perhaps the best part, the cast being informed of the existence of Yaoi slash fiction, and being informed of who is frequently paired with who.}} The two [[Real Life]] actors also experience their own variant, when {{spoiler|Elijah Wood is nearly torn apart when he accidentally walks into a room used to hold [[Mary Sue]]s (and then later identifies ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' as being among them), and Orlando Bloom becoming horrified when he's told that the body he's currently inhabiting was pulled out of an NC-17 fic, explaining why he was missing his shirt (hard to explain, you'd have to read it).}}
* Appears in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4413991/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Soul_of_the_Hero Harry Potter and the Soul of the Hero], where the author and Harry have a conversation for the sake of heroic [[Deus Ex Machina]].
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NwdIJMALxxi6egHz832IuNIHy1J7JAqulJFoGeLM5tY/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 My Little Dashie]. An [[Inversion]] of the fandom's usual [[Self-Insert Fic|Self Insert Fics]], the story involves Rainbow Dash arriving into the real world (as a filly), and becoming essentially the narrator's adopted daughter. [[Better Than It Sounds]], apparently.
* The ''[[Emergence]]'' series starts off with the lead cast of ''[[RWBY]]'' finding themselves in the real world, which has substantial consequences. Among other things, they even find out that [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?|they're the stars of the titular series]].
* The [[Mega Crossover]] [[Shared World]] project ''[[My Apartment Manager is not an Isekai Character]]'' is what happens when hundreds of works simultaneously get Real World Episodes -- all in the same Real World.

Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* Inverted and lampshaded in ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'', wherein the cast of the titular [[Show Within a Show]] is transported to the spaceship of a race of aliens who believe the show is real and have based all their technology off of it. Naturally, they expect the hapless actors to save them from a genuine alien threat.
* The Arnold Schwarzenegger film ''[[Last Action Hero]]'' is chock-full of both [[Refugee From TV Land]] and [[This Is Reality]].
* The movie ''Wes Craven's New Nightmare'' uses this trope straight, but turns the [[Antagonist]] into the one doing the world-
* ''[[The League of Gentlemen]]'s Apocalypse''.
* This also occurs at the end of the short film ''[[The Gamers]]''.
* The premise for the movie ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]''. The main character, Harold, is a real person and hears a narrator narrating his life.
* The [[Live Action Adaptation]] for ''[[The Smurfs (film)|The Smurfs]]'' have the titular creatures finding the spell needed to go home in a ''Smurfs'' comic book which depicts them more as historical legends than just fictional creations.
Line 99 ⟶ 100:
* Late in ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', {{spoiler|the protagonists discover that the creators of their world are going to destroy it, so they go up a level in reality to 4D space, and find out their world is a video game, and their creators are the company that developed it. Inverted in that the world where this game company exists isn't the world of our Earth- the game world is.}}
* In Morrigan's ending in ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom|Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars]]'', she travels through the dimensional rifts caused by the main villain... and ends up outside the video game.
* In ''[[Drakengard]]'s'' fifth ending, Caim and Angelus follow the Queen Grotesquerie to Japan 2004, and end up causing a [[Apocalypse How|Class 3-4 cataclysm]] that is followed by ''[[
* Used in rather bizarre fashion in the good ending to ''[[Chrono Cross]]'': after discussing the fact that the Chronoverse consists of infinite parallel realities, {{spoiler|Schala (or some alternate-dimension variant of her) is seen wandering the streets of a real-world city in her search for the amnesiac Serge - the implication being that our world is one more of the infinite potential realities, and that the player himself might be an alternate-world version of Serge}}.
* This is where ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 3'' and ''[[Space Quest]] 3'' ends.
