* In the [[Horus Heresy]] novels he is mentioned a couple times as 'Shakespire'. In ''Prospero Burns'' it's revealed that they only believe he wrote three plays.
* ''No Bed For Bacon'', a humorous novel that may have inspired ''[[Shakespeare in Love]]'', takes a [[Historical Hilarity]] approach to the period. It makes reference to the authorship controversy by inverting it. Rather than Bacon writing Shakespeare's plays, Shakespeare helps write Bacon's essays in addition to his play-writing work.
* A meta example, [[J. K. Rowling]] claims<ref>Interview with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leaky_Cauldron_(website) The Leaky Cauldron] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuggleNet MuggleNet]</ref>, Voldemort's relation to Harry was inspired by ''[[Macbeth]]'', specifically the prophecy given to the protagonist by the Three Witches:
{{quote|'''Rowling:''' "What if [Voldemort] never heard the prophecy? It's the 'Macbeth' idea. I absolutely adore ''Macbeth. It is possibly my favourite Shakespeare play. And that's the question isn't it? If Macbeth hadn't met the witches, would he have killed Duncan? Would any of it have happened? Is it fated or did he make it happen? [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy|I believe he made it happen]]."
:* She also claimed on her own blog that, "the prophecy (like the one the witches make to Macbeth, if anyone has read the play of the same name) becomes the catalyst for a situation that would never have occurred if it had not been made."
