{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'' actually has ''canon'' examples of this. Far from being just very vocal [[Shipper on Deck|shippers]], both Walker and Erika have been known to write fanfic (porny or otherwise) of their friends, and [[Too Much Information|don't care who knows it]].
{{quote|'''Celty:''' [[Talking with Signs|[...Where did they get my personal information?]]]}}
* Happens [[In-Universe]] in ''[[Genshiken]]'': Ogiue is such a [[Yaoi Fangirl]] that she even draws erotic doujinshi of the Genshiken members, casting Sasahara as a [[Bastard Boyfriend]] and Madarame as the classic [[Uke]]. When Sasahara asks her out, she (reluctantly) tells him about it; he's surprised, but not shocked. Ogiue then shows said doujinshi to Sasahara, who good-naturedly teases her about it. {{spoiler|And then they kiss, and start dating.}}
** Also a part of her backstory: {{spoiler|her 'friends' showed the guy she once liked a hardcore yaoi doujin she drew about him. Ogiue [[Heroic BSOD|is so shocked]] that she attempts to kill herself}}.
* In an omake chapter of ''[[Girl Friends]],'' [[Sensei-chan|Narumatsu-sensei]] learns that Tamamin has drawn a rape manga of her and some girls in the class. This naturally freaks her out.
* ''[[Student Council's Discretion]]'' has an in-universe example: [[Yaoi Fangirl|Mafuyu]] puts [[Harem Seeker|Ken]] into her [[yaoi]] [[doujinshi]].
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'': In fanart form: [http://i46.tinypic.com/2wg6g3m.jpg Here].
* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'': [http://vick330.deviantart.com/art/Neytiri-and-the-internet-155961620 Neytiri looks on the internet in this fanart], and presumably discovers a lot of [[Rule 34]].
Line 75:
* Given the extremely meta nature of some actual ''[[Supernatural]]'' episodes, it's unsurprising that SPN fanfic loves this one. The [http://libraryofsol.livejournal.com/tag/series:%20fourth%20wall ''Fourth Wall'' series] is a particularly well-done example.
* The ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7427510/1/The_Greatest_Thing_Youll_Ever_Learn The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn]'' has the characters come across another character's doujinshi. About them. And it's pornographic. One is suitably shocked; the other wants to re-enact the scene.
* Two ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' fics, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7299709/1/Forums_Aint_So_Fun_When_Theyre_About_You Forums Ain't So Fun When They're About You]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6163584/1/Fanfiction Fanfiction]'', sum up much of the cast's reactions to part of their fandoms, plus [
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8063013/1/Planktons_Eye_View Plankton's Eye View]'' starts with Plankton himself reading ''[[One Less Lonely Gurl]]'', a [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] [[Troll Fic]] written by the same author.
* In ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10151779/1/Shadowchasers-Conspiracy Shadowchasers: Conspiracy]'' Red Feather has quite a ''lot'' of online fans in-universe, much to her chagrin. While much of it has to do with [[Rule 34| the subject of said fan works]], she has disgust for the cleaner ones as well, given her [[Ludd Was Right| general opinion of the internet]].
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Christopher Pike]] used this in ''Master of Murder''. An author names his characters after his friends, and then the fanfics become canon (i.e., they happen in [[Real Life]]). Hilarity doesn't exactly ensue, being a Pike novel.
* ''[[Don Quixote]]'': At chapter LIX of the second part, Don Quixote hears some guys talking about the [[Fan Fiction]] Avellaneda wrote about [[Don Quixote]]. This is only the beginning of Don Quixote and Sancho's continuous attacks against Avellaneda for the [[Character Derailment]] in the rest of the novel. This makes this trope [[Older Than Steam]].
{{quote|The instant Don Quixote heard his own name be started to his feet and listened with open ears to catch what they said about him, and heard the Don Jeronimo who had been addressed say in reply, "Why would you have us read that absurd stuff, Don Juan, when it is impossible for anyone who has read the First Part of the history of 'Don Quixote of La Mancha' to take any pleasure in reading this Second Part?"
"For all that," said he who was addressed as Don Juan, "we shall do well to read it, for there is no book so bad but it has something good in it. What displeases me most in it is that it represents Don Quixote [[Character Derailment|as now cured of his love for Dulcinea del Toboso."]]
On hearing this Don Quixote, full of wrath and indignation, lifted up his voice and said, [[Take That|"Whoever he may be who says that Don Quixote of La Mancha has forgotten or can forget Dulcinea del Toboso, I will teach him with equal arms that what he says is very far from the truth; for neither can the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso be forgotten, nor can forgetfulness have a place in Don Quixote; his motto is constancy, and his profession to maintain the same with his life and never wrong it."]] }}
* ''This Is Not A Game'' by Walter Jon Williams is an original-fiction example. The protagonist is stranded in Indonesia when its currency collapses, causing rioting. She enlists the help of a bunch of alternate reality gamers to get her out, not all of whom believe it's really happening. As a gag gift, one of her friends later presents her with a bound copy of the Fan Fiction some of these gamers wrote about her.
* In ''The Scum Villain's Self Saving System'', after his resurrection Shen Qingqiu discovers that during the time he spent dead in-universe ballads depicting his relationship with Luo Binghe. The problem is that most of those ballads are highly inaccurate on the facts, adding a lot of sex and more romantic reciprocity than there actually was, and a very mortified Shen Quingqiu can only describe them with the same terms he used in life to describe fanfiction.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* An episode of panel show ''[[Mock the Week]]'' had Frankie Boyle discussing the Real Person Slash Fic featuring him and team captain Hugh Dennis.
** {{spoiler|Hugh was the receiver}}.
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
* ''[[Supernatural]]'': In canon, Sam and Dean discover a man who has written out their entire lives and adventures. The author assumed they were fictional, naturally, leading into him thinking it's a [[Stranger Than Fiction]] tale, where he might've been causing these things to happen to them. They also actually find fanfics of themselves -- [[Slash Fic]]s, to be exact. They are understandably horrified and [[Squick]]ed.
{{quote|'''Dean:''' That... that's just ''sick.''}}
* Wednesday Addams promotes the second season of her [[Netflix]] show:
{{quote|'''Wednesday:''' Over the past few weeks, I've been hunted, haunted, and mimicked millions of times across the internet. It's been pure torture... [[Subverted Trope|Thank you]].}}
:* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khymUYGhdBc Watch it here.]
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* ''[[Sonic Shorts]]'': Has a page where Sonic and Shadow look up fanart of each other. Then they look up fanart featuring both of them. Squick.
{{quote|''Sonic:'' [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky|Is that]]...
Line 103 ⟶ 107:
** The same happens [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgEL1Re474k here].
==
* ''[[Adventurers!]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20140817070242/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/0161.html This strip], in which our heroes find out what ''Adventurers!'' fansites contain. (''Adventurers!'' fan-made - and author-made! - hentai actually did exist once.)
* In ''[[RPG World]]'', Eikre finds yaoi of him and Hero. Eikre doesn't take it too well, but Hero just goes "Hey, it's us!"
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20150401164902/http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20060905 this scene] from ''[[Scary Go Round]]'', Shelley encounters obsessive fans of herself. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It gets quite awkward]], [[It Got Worse|especially]] when the guy named Harry starts to read out loud [[Purple Prose]] Shelley-fanfiction. (It sounds ambiguously erotic and involves ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]''...) Shelley later comments that she has "looked terror square in its single, milky eye!"
* ''[[Head Trip]]'' had a [http://headtrip.keenspot.com/d/20100816.html page] where ''[[Batman]]'' and ''[[Superman]]'' see ''[[Green Lantern]]'' happily waiting to become more popular and promptly cut his wings by [[Too Much Information|explaining all he didn't want to know]] about "''[[Yaoi Fangirl|those]]'' fans".
* ''[[Does Not Play Well With Others]]'', when Seth [http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0128 mentioned] to Falchion things fans on the internet write [[Foe Yay|about him and Tekmage]], not realizing that his roommate was blissfully ignorant of the fact. The bog of [[Too Much Information]] gets only deeper from this point over the next few pages.
* ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'': after [[Action Mom|Ye Thuza]] became a local celebrity for using her mad guerilla skillz while cosplaying a superhero, [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/02/0196-no-night-in-spiderman/ this] happens. Later [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/01/14/1238-c-powree/ with replacement writer] who happened to be "an experienced fanfic writer" — after one look at a script, Sandra burned the whole laptop.
== [[Web Originals]] ==
* ''[[Everyman HYBRID]]'', like some other examples, toes the line between this and [[Rule 34
{{quote|Evan: Oh, the fan fiction?...Keep up the good work.}}
* The [[Legion of Net.Heroes]] once dealt with a boy with telepathic powers who was accidentally broadcasting his LNH slashfic across the city.
* The [[That Guy With The Glasses]] crowd is well-aware of their fandom. At one point Bennett [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/the-sage/fanfic-theatre/13982-ep011 actually analyzed some on Masterpiece Fanfic Theatre.]
** Also one of the scenes from the ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]'' ''Warrior #2-3'' review features an alternate Dr. Insano pawing at the alternate Linkara (both based on Johnny from ''[[The Room]]''), who tells him to stop [[Ho Yay|giving the slash ficcers material]].
** Iron Liz and Linkara once went through some [[High School AU]] fics of their online personas. On [[Twitter]], she wondered why she was always written as the semi-popular one.
** This is parodied in one fic, which details the cast of the site finding the Hookerverse fanfiction and being horribly disgusted by it. They end up getting revenge by reaching out of the computer and attacking the author.
** [[The Nostalgia Chick]], [[Todd in the Shadows]], [[Obscurus Lupa]], Nella, and [[Paw Dugan]] have [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112085647/http://blip.tv/nostalgia-chick/live-action-fanfic-5484116 acted out a shipping fic].
** Spoony was asked about the popular pairing of him and Linkara at a con, and decided to feed it by responding "I want to know how they knew so many details."
** Doug and Rob had an interview where they admitted to intentionally feeding their [[Incest Subtext]], and Rob even demanded more fics (with 1,000 word minimum). Doug has also made fun of people expecting him to be horrified at the amount of [[Gorn]] fic and art that he and his characters have.
Line 125 ⟶ 129:
* ''[https://www.deviantart.com/rollerboyjeremy/art/Legolass-Nuada-Drizzt-comic-103261462 Legolass Nuada Drizzt comic]'' by RollerBoyjeremy presents the "Vapid Fangirls Stalk Me Because I'm a Hot [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Pretty]] [[Elfeminate|Elf-boy]] Club".
{{quote|'''Drizzt''': Look, buddy, I don't even HAVE a movie, and I'm in this club... you want to see some really disturbing shit? You should read up on [[Legend of Zelda|that poor Link bastard]], the girls really fuck with that poor kid.}}
* From ''[[SCP Foundation]]'', there was SCP-835-JP. A Keter Class SCP. She was an assassin trained and empowered by an enemy of the Foundation, and she never failed. Her victims, always SCP researchers, never saw it coming, she would reach out of the shadows and grab them, leaving nothing behind but blood splattered on the wall and floor. Eventually, however, a bored desk jockey working for the Foundation drew some manga stories with SCP-835 as the protagonist, naming her Keteru Yamiko, depicting her as an evil [[Joshikousei]], a common stereotype in manga. While he was reprimanded by his superiors, they discovered that attacks by SCP-835-JP started to wane. They decided to encourage more of these fictitious stories about SCP-835-JP, the character in them becoming part of her official profile and many of the stories released publicly. Many other fanfics sprouted up, many of them depicting her as a [[Magical Girl]], [[Dojikko]], and various other [[Stock Japanese Characters]]. Eventually, this publicity of her image caused SCP-835-JP to cease her attacks altogether. Maybe it was because her cover had been compromised, she had been embarrassed, or had been insulted; possibly SCP-853 was, in fact, a living embodiment of fear, and turning her into a popular media figure caused everyone to stop fearing her, causing her to lose her power. Although, seeing as her final victim was the desk jockey who started the “fad”, it's hard to say.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Sort of happens in ''[[Adventure Time]]'' in the episode "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake", which is a [[Rule 63|genderflipped]] version of the series. {{spoiler|It is revealed that the entire thing is a [[Fan Fiction]] by the Ice King and he forced Finn and Jake to hear it.}}
* In one episode of ''[[Voltron Force]]'', the cadets meet a [[Straw Fan|ridiculously nerdy fan]] of the Voltron Force who has written creepy fanfics [[Self-Insert Fic|featuring himself]] and Princess Allura. They're not exactly thrilled.
* Inverted in ''[[Miraculous Ladybug]]'', where Marinette and Adrian are actually flattered by fanfiction (and an animated movie) about their heroic alter-egos. Adrian actually provides Cat Noir's voice for said movie, in an odd case of ''secretly'' acting [[As Himself]].
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Youtubers Alex Day (Nerimon)and Charlie Mcdonnell (Charlieissocoollike) have at least one video each in which they discuss fanfics of themselves that they've found. Charlie is [[Brain Bleach|noticeably disturbed]] when he finds [[Ho Yay|"Cherimon" slash]], but Alex embraces the concept and decides to write a (fairly tame by fanfic standards) slashfic about [[Les Yay|two of his other youtuber friends]] under a pseudonym, before linking said friends to the site and recording their reactions as they read the fic. He then reveals to them that [[All Men Are Perverts|''he'' was the]] [[Magnificent Bastard|one who wrote it.]] Cue Horror.
** Not to mention all the youtubers that are part of the livejournal community and/or have requested certain stories via twitter. It's a mad fandom, to be sure.
* The band [[Franz Ferdinand]] once did a [[Shout-Out]] to Slacken Ties at a concert; Slacken Ties are a Franz Ferdinand [[Slash Fic|Slash]] [[LiveJournal]].
Line 138 ⟶ 143:
{{quote|"Oh my God. Honey, you have got to come up here. I do not believe this! They have Goose and Niko having sex!"}}
** To which ''everyone'' at the table did a [[Face Palm]]—she was sitting at a table full of [[Fanfic]] writers, many of whom had ''written'' a ship fic or three.
* [[Quentin Tarantino]] and [[Eli Roth]] both discovered all the Fan Fics and [[Rule 34]] of ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'', and were ecstatic about it. And decided to forward as many fanfics to their parents as possible. Before discussing how unrealistic they are. ("Everyone knows that the Bear Jew is a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|pitcher, not a catcher.]]")
** There's also the part where they comment on the [[Kink Meme]], where Tarantino's is basically "WTF the Bear Jew always tops!" Which they show to the ''rest'' of the cast.
* Another Real-Life example, which in turn inspired a fic: first, the hosts of Britain's ''Friday Night Project'' surprised [[David Tennant]] with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alzbKK_UF70 dramatic readings] of explicit [[Doctor Who]] fic. Tennant's absolutely shocked reaction spawned [http://sam-storyteller.dreamwidth.org/116839.html this story.]
Line 147 ⟶ 152:
{{quote|"I cannot say how much we all enjoyed writing these. You slash fiction writers are having way too much fun."}}
* Judging from the blog posts, strips and pictures, [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] is at least aware of fanfics and works based on ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''...and he seems to be pretty cool with that. He even ''thanks'' the fandom for those.
* There is this internet phenomenon in ''[[Nico Nico Douga]]'' called "Utatte mita", or: people doing their cover version of songs they like, usually from [[Anime]] and [[Video Games]]. Many of them are surprisingly good<ref>[[Sturgeon's Law]] applies</ref> and/or have exotic voice, and some of those people develops into elaborate internet personae and have avatars of them drawn by their fans. Naturally, the next step is slashing them. Since this is inevitable (and is a measure of notability), most of them are cool with it.
