* [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s ''[[Breakfast of Champions]]'': The character Kilgore Trout is supposed to be a stand-in for Vonnegut, and toward the end of the story, Trout has conversations with Vonnegut (who is the third-person omniscient narrator). The content of these conversations is Trout (fictional) demanding changes to his world from Vonnegut (real), but the underlying subtext is of Vonnegut (real), in futility, demanding impossible changes to his own life.
* ''[[The Inkworld Trilogy (Literature)|The Inkworld Trilogy]]'': The main characters are simply fans of the story, but the author himself got trapped in his own writing, too. He wasn't doing too badly there... for a time.
* In Pamela Dean's ''Secret Country'' trilogy, a group of young cousins create a fantasy world together and end up stuck there for real.
* ''[[Typewriter in The Sky (Literature)|Typewriter in Thethe Sky]]'' has a related problem where an author bases a character in his new novel on a friend, and the friend gets sucked into the novel and forced to play the role of the character.
