One day, you are surfing the [[The Internet|interwebs]], and you find a fanfic. This one seems to be about... the characters discovering fanfiction being written about themselves. What is this? Has [[The Masquerade]] been snapped in two? Has a hero's [[Secret Identity]] been leaked?

This is largely a [[Fanfic Tropes|fanfiction trope]] (yeah, a bit ironic), but can occur in original works. (The [[Ur Example]] could be [[Don Quixote]], making it [[Older Than Steam]]). This is partially a comedy trope, expect much [[Squick]], [[Unstoppable Rage|raging]], and [[Brain Bleach|consumption of cleaning products]] to try to blot out the horrible images wrought by the worst of fics -- [[Rule 34]] in particular stands out. Most often becomes a [[Revenge Fic]] type 2, with the characters trying to kill bad fanfiction characters.

* An episode of panel show ''[[Mock the Week]]'' had Frankie Boyle discussing the Real Person Slash Fic featuring him and team captain Hugh Dennis.
</div>
** {{spoiler|Hugh was the receiver}}.
</div>
* In ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'', the Rangers are watching international satellite TV and find that Japan has created a Power Rangers TV show. (The entire episode is a giant [[Mythology Gag]], as what they're watching is a dubbed version of ''[[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger]]'', ''Dino Thunder'''s parent show.) Ethan and Kira enjoy it; Conner is upset that they turned the Rangers into a joke but he comes around. They're OK with the fact that the Abarangers are completely different people from them because, you know, [[Secret Identity]], but with that in mind they wonder how the showrunners learned their [[By the Power of Greyskull]] phrase.
</div>
** [[Power Rangers Wild Force|Forever RED (film)]] was supposed to have a mention of Tommy learning about "those stories about [him and Jason] on the Internet" and how they'd been awkward after that.

* The cast of ''[[Sherlock]]'' caused a bit of a scare for the fandom—especially on [[Tumblr]]—back in July 2011 when it was made pretty clear that [http://theworldsonlyconsultingpenis.tumblr.com/post/8180678381 they knew about the porn that their fans were making]{{Dead link}}, thus making it an inversion to this trope.

* ''[[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|slashfics]], to be exact. They are understandably horrified and [[Squick]]ed.

** 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.

* 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.
