* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' "[[This Time Round|Look Who's Talking: Storytime!]]" fic (which is already as [[Meta Fic]] as it can get) "[http://www.ttrarchive.com/stjackbeanstalk.html Jack and the Beanstalk]" ends with the babies, horrified by the nonsense they've had to listen to, hunting down [[Tropers/Daibhid C|the fanfic writer in question]].

* In one ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' fanfic, the NPCs, sick of replaying the same scenes over and over when the human player reloads saved games on her computer, team up and kill the PC. At which point, the human player decides never to play the game again.

* Although this wiki uses the term "[[Revenge Fic]]" for stories where an author takes revenge against a character, anime fandom used the term for stories where characters break the [[Fourth Wall]] to take revenge against fanfiction authors for [[Egregious]] acts of perceived [[Canon Defilement]]. This variety was both named and typified by the ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100325092800/http://thelbane.ranma.net/~alcen/ Revenge Wars]'' which flooded the Anime Fan Fiction Mailing List in response to and in the wake of Scott "SKJAM!" Jamison's story ''[http://skjam.dreamwidth.org/4743.html#cutid1 Sauce]''. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] about if and when this is truly a good or necessary thing. (Compare with the ''[[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]'' entry in the "Web Original" section, below.)

* In many of Phoenix Reece's fics, his characters tend to break the fourth wall to physically assault him for what he makes them do. For example, in ''Happy Tree Camp'', there is a strange dumb human character, {{spoiler|who later turns out to be the author who has sacrificed most of his powers in order to be a part of his story and make sure it goes well. The villain finds out about this and ends up kidnapping him, hypnotizing him and trying to use him to get godlike power and ultimately to become an author himself. Obviously, part of his plan involves killing the author in revenge for what he did to him, along with nearly every other main character.}} Also, once the characters find out about Phoenix, they keep asking him to change the story to make the ending good for them. {{spoiler|His "daughter" Pippy complains about how awful the story gets afterwards, since she reads all of his stories after he writes them.}}

* In "VOCALOID Forever", Rin and Len Kagamine plan to take revenge on all the fans and MMD users that have written about the Kagamines experiencing twincest, pairing them up with other people, or just downright raping or abusing them. It's not exactly rage against the author of the story, but against authors of other stories.

* This trope is the entire point to the ''[https://archives.eyrie.org/anime/Miscellaneous/Revenge-Fics/ Revenge Wars]'' stories from the Fan Fiction Mailing List in the mid-1990s. Characters, fed up with the treatment they'd been getting from the fanfic writers, visit those writers to make their displeasure known.
