Several of them, by Vonnegut's admission, were story ideas he had that he either couldn't fully develop or ones that he felt dissatisfied with when he did. ''God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater'' crosses this into Type 2, as one character turns out to be a big fan. In at least a few cases, these also crossed into Type 3 (such as in ''Literature/BreakfastOfChampions'') and Type 4 (such as in ''Literature/SlaughterhouseFive'').

* Creator/VladimirNabokov had two major examples: his 1938 Russian novel ''The Gift'' is about a young writer trying to make a name for himself, and in chapter three, the writer decides to write a biography of the 19th century writer and activist Nikolay Chernyshevsky. Chapter four consists of that biography in full (for which Nabokov did a ton of original research.) His 1962 novel ''Literature/PaleFire'' purports to be a critical edition of a fictional poem of that title, by fictional poet John Shade, along with a critical commentary by the editor Charles Kinbote, supposedly a close friend of the poet; all is not as it seems, though.
