* ''Fanfic/ThisTimeRound'': ''[[http://www.ttrarchive.com/missingtheobvious.html Missing the Obvious]]'' was written for a "crystals" challenge on rec.arts.drwho. In it, Ceannaideach Daibhid's AuthorAvatar completely fails to write a fanfic about crystals. It opens with a parenthetical comment that he can probably get away with this just once.

Almost always a form of SelfReferentialHumor. SisterTrope to WritersBlockMontage, which is a {{montage|s}} of an uninspired InUniverse {{creator|s}}. Compare and contrast ThisIsASong, which is a song that is at least partially about itself. Related to MostWritersAreWriters because RealLife writers often have characters who are writers too, which when gone meta, opens up several possibilities for BreakingTheFourthWall.

**The hook of "Under The Influence" is Slim telling everyone to suck his dick because he's too high to write a good hook.

**"Just
Lose It" has a section that goes "I don't have any where Slim runs out of lines and starts improvising gibberish.
** In "On Fire", Slim claims
that go here".he can make his long, indulgent [[BoastfulRap braggadocio verses]] into a song by just adding a "bullshit hook", which he promptly does.
**"Guts Over Fear" has a passage in which Eminem admits that, after his CreatorRecovery, he has nothing left to write about.
**"Walk On Water" is a song about being unable to meet the expectations placed upon him as a writer, interspersed with the sound of Eminem crunching up his lyrics sheets and throwing them away.

* ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'': A semi-recurring theme in one arc is that Arthur hates "can't-think-of-a-joke jokes", but not as much as he hates failing to update his webcomic. Likewise in the space arc, Tristram thinks writing a song about being unable to write a song is "only funny once".
