* The ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' fic "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/49689625/ Jackpot]]" opens with Gwen Stacy being brought back to life in a post-''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' timeline. While she soon decides to work on a means of giving herself and Mary Jane spider-powers so that they can fight alongside Peter and not be defenceless, she recalls such examples as Curt Connors and Michael Morbius and refuses to use the subsequent formula on either until all simulations turn up a 100% success rate, concerned that even a 1% margin of error could result in her or MJ basically becoming a new variation of the Man-Spider mutation.

* ''Fanfic/NineDaysDown'': Discussed. After becoming isolated, Twilight reflects on Celestia's comment that Tartarus enjoys playing out horror stories with Its captives by trying to think in terms of how horror narratives work. She runs into a few problems, such as the difficulty in working out whether someone is a protagonist or supporting character, and ultimately concludes that the problem with trying to be genre savvy is that it is impossible for a character to outsmart the story, since they aren't in control -- only the author is.

Harry almost laughed at the statement. ''If there's ever a way to cause a problem, that's it. It's like saying "Hey, watch this!" or "WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?" I'm so screwed, it's not even funny.''

* The protagonist of the ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' fan work ''Fanfic/MyTransDimensionalOverpoweredProtagonistHaremComedyIsWrong'', [[CynicalMentor Hikigaya Hachiman]], is an [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai hero]] who believes he's been transported into a badly written [[LightNovels Light Novel]]. (He's completely correct, although "badly written" is just his opinion.) Not only does this enable him to avoid "[[TropeTelegraphing tripping flags]]" (doing or [[YouJustHadToSayIt saying things]] that usually have bad consequences in Light Novels) and recognize when other people do it or are in danger of doing it, it enables him to try to move the plot by acting in ways that are associated with certain Light Novel tropes. Of course, it only works [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow when the author wants it to]], but since [[LampshadeHanging that's a big part of the point of the work]], it usually does.

** Ali and Solar are fans of the Potterverse[[labelnote:*]]Which exists as both the magical world and the non-magical book/film series in this continuity[[/labelnote]], and thus know pretty much all there is to know about the magical world (as of 2010). They also take advantage of this not just to [[MetaGuy joke around]] about spoilers for the last book, but also to try to save Snape's life by telling him to "run like heck" if he encounters Nagini… though they would rather not "mess with the time stream" actively.
