{{examples}}
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' Haruna draws her own [[Doujinshi]] which is based of ''[[Show Within a Show|Mahou Shoujo Biblion]]'' and sells her works at Comiket.
* ''[[Genshiken]]'': Ogiue also draws [[Yaoi]] [[Doujinshi]], much to the great trouble of her Editor boyfriend who is...not a fan. Well, Sasahara gets the appeal of yaoi to her... it's just more than a little awkward when she draws him and ships him with one of his best friends. Other than being featured himself, he's surprisingly accepting.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* ''[[Darker than Black]]'' had an entire episode devoted to a character who writes in-universe slash fanfics about the protagonist.
* Nobuko Yokokawa of ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'' writes stories loosely based on her friends and classmates with her best friend Aiko she idolizes as the [[Mary Sue]] protagonist in most of them. Later joined by the shy artist girl Miho Maruyama, who starts creating similar comics with her. With their stories involving romantic plots with their own self-insert characters along with Aiko's, it results in awkwardly heavy doses of [[Les Yay]] for a kids' anime.
* Hikaru Amano of ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' portrays this in the English dub. She writes [[Self Insert]] [[Slash Fics]].
* Erika from ''[[Durarara!!]]'' openly discusses writing [[Slash Fics]] about her friends. She also ships [[Foe Yay|Izaya/Shizuo]].
== [[Fan Works]] ==
** She writes ''Harry Potter'' fics, and ships [[But You Screw One Goat!|Harry/Hedwig]], in case you were curious.▼
* Similar to the ''Yu-gi-oh Abridged'' example, Twilight Sparkle is an avid fanfiction writer in ''[[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]''... except she writes fanfic ''about her friends''. Creepy.▼
* This trope was the reason people in the now defunct [[MSTing|sporking community]] HMS STFU spent over a year without realizing that the author of the infamous fanfic series ''[[The Girl Who Lived]]'' was a man despite the many dudebro fanboy tropes that fic exhibited. The fact that [[GIRL|he used a female character]] as his [[Self-Insert Fic|self-insert]] [[Mary Sue]] didn't help matters.
* The sister of one of Nabiki Tendo's friends in the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'' writes [[Magical Girl]] fanfiction (which counts as [[Real Person Fic]] [[In-Universe]]). This makes her the target of gentle ribbing from her family and from Nabiki ([[Hypocritical Humor|herself a magical girl]]).
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' features a female slash fic writer as a recurring character, with serious stalking tendency. ''Supernatural'' has an entire ''in-universe slash fandom'' writing about the show's main characters. They're almost as creepy and disturbing as the real thing they make fun of!
* In the season two ''[[Psych]]'' episode with the case at the school for smart kids, one of the (male) students says to Shawn:
Line 37 ⟶ 42:
* In an episode of ''[[Monk]]'', Monk's self-proclaimed biggest fan asks him why doesn't he use his gun during a case. When he tells her that he doesn't carry one, she remembers that she made that detail up in a fanfic she wrote about him.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', Isabela writes "friend fiction". We only get to hear a bit featuring Aveline and Donnic but according to Isabela, she does it for everyone.
** However, she does it only as a fan of Varric, who is also a professional writer, who uses his friends as thinly veiled "inspirations" all the time.
* In the ''[[Fable III]]'' side quest, ''The Pen is Mightier'', one of the books is entitled ''The Pangs of Sunset''. It is essentially just an [[Romance Novel|erotic novel]] featuring the Heros from the ''previous'' game. It is implied to contain both [[Guy-On-Guy Is Hot|Slash]] and [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|Femslash]] and is written by a woman named Ilona Pureheart
== [[Web Comics]] ==▼
▲== Web Comics ==
* ''Garnet and Gure'' features [https://web.archive.org/web/20140829004044/http://www.bonedragoncomics.com/html/garnet_and_gure_60.html this strip], wherein the largely female culture of fanfiction is explained.
* ''[[Questionable Content]]'' features two female fanfic writers, Tai and Marigold; Tai's stuff is apparently good (she writes a raved about Harry Potter piece), Marigold's, not so much. After a near miss where lesbian Tai hits on straight Marigold, the latter seeks to make up for the awkwardness by posting a story to Tai wherein Hermione and Ginny "go all the way."
Line 53 ⟶ 57:
* In ''[[Shortpacked]]'', Amber writes a [[Web Serial Novel]] that is a pastiche of [[Twilight]].
== [[Web Original]] ==▼
▲== Web Original ==
* Donut of ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' mentions writing some ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfiction but [[Ambiguously Gay|well...]]
* [[The Nostalgia Chick]] is seen in a [[Flash Back]] apparently writing ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' slashfic.▼
▲* Tea is made this in [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-gi-oh Abridged]].
▲** She writes Harry Potter fics, and ships Harry/Hedwig, in case you were curious.
▲* Similar to the Yu-gi-oh Abridged example, Twilight Sparkle is an avid fanfiction writer in [[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]... except she writes fanfic ''about her friends''. Creepy.
▲* [[The Nostalgia Chick]] is seen in a [[Flash Back]] apparently writing ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' slashfic.
== [[Western Animation]] ==▼
▲== Western Animation ==
* In an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', Peter insists that Meg is going to write ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' fanfiction for a career.
== [[Other Media]] ==▼

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825150746/http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2081784,00.html This] ''Time'' article on fan fiction mentions this phenomenon.
* [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/nov/24/fanfiction-deserves-more-respect An article] by the ''Guardian'' also mentions this observation, linking directly to [[The Other Tropes Wiki]]'s version of this very page.
