Line 3: Related to [[Trapped in TV Land]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Film]] == * ''[[The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl]] in 3-D''.

The content of these conversations is Trout (fictional) demanding changes to his world from Vonnegut (real), but the underlying subtext is of Vonnegut (real), in futility, demanding impossible changes to his own life. * ''[[~~The Inkworld Trilogy (Literature)\|~~The Inkworld Trilogy]]'': The main characters are simply fans of the story, but the author himself got trapped in his own writing, too. He wasn't doing too badly there... for a time. * In Pamela Dean's ''Secret Country'' trilogy, a group of young cousins create a fantasy world together and end up stuck there for real. * ''[[Typewriter in ~~The Sky (Literature)\|Typewriter in The~~the Sky]]'' has a related problem where an author bases a character in his new novel on a friend, and the friend gets sucked into the novel and forced to play the role of the character. == Live Action Television == * This is the trap in The Land of Fiction in the Classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S6 E2/E02 The Mind Robber\|The Mind Robber]]''. Defeat the (supposed) [[Big Bad]] by writing yourself into a story as the hero. == [[Music]] == Line 34 ⟶ 35: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Fourth Wall Shut In Story~~{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Plots]] [[Category:Metafiction Demanded This Index]] [[Category:Trapped in Another World]] [[Category:Otherworld Tropes]] [[Category:Fourth Wall]]
