The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

Um - not quite. It's an actual insert. Rather than a recap/ expo-excuse. But, thanks.

What do you mean a different medium? Are you talking about those big old timestamped books of references that used to come with anime? Or an actual in-universe book, such as The Elder Scrolls In Universe Books?

I means something like what Mary Gentle does with her Ash series: clips that could be email inserts or cut from a print-screen image. Inter-spaced with actual block text. Framing Device is dead close. Very close, in fact, as it could be stretched to mean this.
