You should ask this sort of thing on Trope Finder but it is usually It's Been Done

The best place to ask this type of question is in Trope Finder.
I've seen it on three different shows
I've seen on shows where a main character has an idea for a book or movie, only to find out later that someone else has already come up with a similar work (ironically, this submission may follow that category).
Examples: -Family Guy (Brian Griffin and his Iron Eagle book) -Simpsons (Seymour Skinner and his Jurassic Park book) -GLOW (Sam Slyvia and his Back to the Future movie)
Has this trope already been created and what is the name for it? Thanks in advance for your help.
