Literary terms
pastiche
example
The TV show 30 Rock is about a television studio, so there are plenty of opportunities for pastiche. In various episodes, the show mimics classic shows like The Brady Bunch or Seinfeld and major television events like the Olympics. From the tone of the show, it’s clear that these imitations come from a place of irreverent love, so they fall into the category of pastiche rather than parody.
-
intertextual
example
Fan fiction is a great example of deliberate intertextuality. In fan fiction, authors enter the fictional worlds of other authors and create their own stories. For example, a Lord of the Rings fan fiction might tell the story of minor characters or add new characters to the world of Middle Earth. Sometimes, fan fiction becomes extremely successful in its own right – 50 Shades of Grey was originally written as Twilight fan fiction.
paranoia

metafictional
example
f you ever read The Monster at the End of this Book as a child, you likely encountered metafiction without even knowing it. In this book, the character of Grover reads the title of the book himself and becomes terrified to meet the monster that will be at the end of the book. As you turn the pages, Grover becomes even more scared, pleading for the reader to stop turning the pages and even trying to build a barrier that keeps the pages nailed together. Once the reader gets to the end of the book, Grover figures out that the monster at the end of the book was him!
