* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'': Once Cody and Bailey have their messy breakup in Paris, both are left crushed and angry. Cody assumes Bailey was cheating on him with a mime, while he struggled to prepare an anniversary dinner. So, to get payback, he wrote a play based on the breakup and wrote Bailey's character as a cruel, unfaithful idiot who ultimately [[DisneyVillainDeath falls off the Eiffel Tower and dies]]. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Bailey sees the scene and runs off in tears]], surprised that Cody hated her ''that'' much.

* In ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Chloe Cerise has creative writing as a main hobby, especially pertaining to horror and especially involving the classmates who bully her and the people she believes would never understand or support her real non-Pokémon interests. For instance, in the case of her ChildhoodFriend Goh, she writes a story about a boy who is chasing after a wish-granting creature who can morph into different items who ends up (accidentally) killing his best friend and then cursed to forever chase after the creature. It's a parallel to her feelings about Goh leaving her behind to chase after Mew and signals the start of how she never wants to see or hear from him again. [[spoiler:She later makes it clear that she doesn't actually want the people who bullied and/ or neglected her to actually ''experience'' the horrors in her writings, but this hobby is slowly turned against her as the whole of Vermillion City and her family implode under the ramifications of her disappearance]].

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': Invoked by the FlavorText of Varric's special ability "Unauthorized Biographer", which is unlocked by maxing out his [[TheRival Rivalry]] [[RelationshipValues score]]. Varric is the CharacterNarrator of the whole game, so if you do that, the world will primarily learn about [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] from someone whom you've gone out of your way to antagonize[[note]]which is the ''only'' way to unlock that particular ability - Varric is the easiest companion in the game to befriend, apart from Hawke's sister, and conversely is the most difficult with whom to get into a rivalry[[/note]].
-->''One of these days, Varric will tell your story. Whether you like it or not.''

* PlayedForLaughs in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43318350/chapters/108888111#workskin Dia's Fairy Tail]]'' between the Third Years. In the second chapter, after [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Mari]] drags her into telling a fairy tale staring the other third years and the second years, Dia tells a version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" with Mari as Golden Mari but portrayed as breaking several laws for her antics that get her arrested at the end. In the fourth chapter, Mari and Kanan team up to tell their own version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" with Dia as the rude and trouble-prone Princess Diamond White that gets involved with the SevenDeadlySins. [[spoiler:It does get Zigzagged at the end with Princess Diamond brought safely back home by Prince Kanan, who joins her in a three-way with Diamond's shiny stepmother, which Mari and Kanan decide to reenact with Dia in real life]].

'''Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly''', please! This is about fictional characters having fictional beef, not real people venting through fiction. This is still TruthInTelevision though; RealLife examples belong on RevengeFic or TakeThat. Similarly, the RomanAClef novel is often used by imaginatively vindictive authors to "get even" with people they have a beef against, by writing them in as unappealing or unflatteringly described characters. MuseAbuse is when people incorporate real life people into their art in ways that offend everyone around them and cause them social damage.
