Subtrope of TrappedInAnotherWorld, but the hero has intimate knowledge of the world he's in... because he's the one that created it, perhaps moreso a variation of PygmalionPlot. For this to have conflict, however, not everything is as it appears, he no longer has [[JustForPun author...ity]], or he didn't realize the problems he was creating, and is as bound to the rules of the world as those he created. The author might be seen as a god of his own world, and worshipped for it, or hated for the problems he made.

* The director Captain Blue of ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' fits this trope when he gets trapped in the MovieLand he had filmed. Although he isn't the hero of the actual video game. [[spoiler: [[FallenHero In fact, he ended up becoming the villain.]]]]

The trope's been cut by TRS.


* In the web-novel ''Literature/TheAdministrator'', a [[IllGirl sick girl]] spends years in the hospital creating a detailed Fantasy setting in order to stave off boredom - and after she dies, she gets reincarnated in that very setting (with, as the title implies, Admin powers). She resolves to make the best of her new life, though she is less than enthusiastic about the parts of the world that she designed when she was [[OldShame eight years old]].

This trope isn't exactly in the work, should be crosswicked under WOG, not on the main page.


* The original idea for the premise of ''VideoGame/Rayman1995'' was that Rayman was actually a boy named Jimmy who was sucked into a video game world he had programmed and turned into its main character (Rayman) as a result. The plot idea was scrapped in favor of the one the game has now.
