Bob has written a story with an analogue of his friend Alice, when Alice finds out about this she finds Bob's interpretation of her to be offensive. It may be that Bob's version of Alice is a [[{{Strawman}} thinly veiled caricature]] that [[{{Flanderization}} exaggerates]] all her negative qualities, emphasizes neutral or even positive traits in ways she dislikes, or invents traits whole cloth that [[AdaptationDecay she would never say or do.]] Alice is likely to have words with Bob before all is over.
This trope can also apply in instances where the existence of an AlternateUniverse leads to alternate versions of a given character. The "original" may find that ForWantOfANail their alternate version is really annoying, and the alternate may likewise find the original embarrassing. Expect at least one of them to say "IResembleThatRemark" and/or "Why didn't anyone tell me [[DoesThisMakeMeLookFat this makes me look fat?]]"
Fictional in-universe versions can't get into fist-fights over this issue. Except with clones, robot copies, visiting dream versions, and holograms. Which toe the line of copy or fictional. So the real question is, how is it split? Based on if they can interact?
