== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* The ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' [[Fan Fiction]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3982345/1/ Comic Book Heroes]'', which takes the idea that Joshua is {{spoiler|mentally damaged and stuck with the mind of a child}} at the end of the anime and turns it on its head by having him become a comic book writer as an adult. The story is told through excerpts of interviews with his children, reviews of movies based on his work, letters and journal entries written by Joshua and his friends, and an essay discussing the portrayal of female characters in his work--all fictional, of course.
* The [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] fanfiction [[
** Likewise, the hilarious ''The Naked Quidditch Match'', comprised of "m-mails" exchanged among characters, with a news story wrapping it up.
* [[Troper Works/The Private Diary Of Elizabeth Quatermain|The Private Diary Of Elizabeth Quatermain]] is...well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|made up entirely of diary entries written by the title character]].
Line 44:
* ''[[Rant|Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey]]'' by [[Chuck Palahniuk]] consists entirely of fake interviews (one of the last chapters includes material from a few ''actual people,'' and also a completely unexpected [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Fight Club]]''). For added verisimilitude, {{spoiler|it's implied at one point that the events of the book might alter the timeline so that the universe becomes the "real world" and the book becomes a work of fiction.}} It's also loosely implied that the book itself was written by that world's Chuck Palahniuk (nighttimer).
* The ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' book ''Xenology'' is essentially a collection of journal entries by a puritanical Inquisitor investigating a site where a radical Inquisitor was conducting studies on various aliens. Also included are journal entries from the resident Magos Biologis, as well as various documents, audio records, and observations complied by both Inquisitors.
** Games Workshop did this previously for ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' with ''Liber Chaotica'' and ''The Loathsome Ratmen And All Their Foul Kin'' The latter was previously introduced in the ''[[Gotrek and Felix]]'' series, and the handwritten notes added into the Real Life version suggest that it's based on the very copy that appears in the novel.
* The ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'' ('''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''') series is presented as a compilation of Cain's actual memoirs published by Inquisitor Vail, with excerpts from other books (like [[Purple Prose|Sulla's autobiography]]) added in to clarify points Cain left out (such as things that weren't specifically happening to him).
* [[The Bible]], man, the Bible. Practically ''all'' of the New Testament (including one of the Gospels!) are explicitly letters to various people, and the Old Testament is composed of (1) historical documents, (2) legal contracts, (3) lyrics to love songs, (4) scraps of poetry, and (5) a bunch of quotations / Proverbs.
