Line 23:
Tropes related to this include [[Writer on Board]], [[Executive Meddling]] may be invoked to imply that the "true" story was changed. Compare and contrast [[I Should Write a Book About This]]. Compare [[Unreliable Narrator]] or [[Fictional Document]]. See also [[Daydream Believer]], which is what you get whenever a fan takes the hypothesis too seriously, or [[Rashomon Style]] when the characters in the story themselves are used to recount it.

Line 42:
* The DVD commentary of ''Walk Hard'' is done in this vein, with famous rock and roll stars talking about their experiences with Dewey Cox.
* [[Peter Jackson]] invoked this for the production team of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Lord of the Rings]]'', saying something along the lines of "I don't want you to think of this as a fantasy movie. I want you to imagine it's a historical war movie, and we've been lucky enough to be able to shoot in the actual locations where these events took place." The resulting attention to detail has a similar effect on the film's believability to the immense [[Backstory]] on which the book was based.
* The [[DVD Commentary]] for ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension]]'' takes this stand about the film, with screenwriter Earl Mac Rauch taking on the role of one of Buckaroo's men and pointing out where the movie differs from "the way it actually happened". Similarly, the film's novelization describes itself as a novelization of actual events (and the latest volume in a long series of similar books about Buckaroo).
