There's Un-Installment for references to part of a series that don't exsist
When a narrator (or similar) purposefully refers to a part of the story that doesn't exist, for comedic purposes. Not restricted to literature.
Examples:
- [[Literature/Molesworth Molesworth]] would often have full-page illustrations saying "For story, see" plus a page number which didn't exist
- A book whose blurb contains dialogue between two actual characters, but the dialogue doesn't exist in the story
- Look Around You having every On the Next refer to a fictional episode
