Every continuum capable of creating books and the like of its own would have, due to the similarities in almost all Word World sentient life forms, fanfiction for those books. We could have triple-nested PPCs: one outside the other Word Worlds proper, one within each Word World dealing with the problems they find in fanfiction of books only existing in their universe, and another dealing with what only exists within the fanfiction created within that fanfiction of a canon world.
We probably shouldn't do it that way, though, because if somebody asks "But is there a fourth layer?", then someone would try and explain why there was or was not, and it's going to get all metaconceptual up in here. Well, more than it usually is.
Now that I think about it, in Adventure Time's "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake" episode chain, there were clearly occurrences of Lust Object character-warping, as well as Author-wraith possession at the end of the first episode in that chain. It's starting.
Plus, the possession looks pretty nasty, too. Just look at what the wraith does to their eyes! Ugh. They get all kaleidoscopey or the pupils dilate to incredibly unhealthy levels. Also, it's of note that the Ice King is the author of that fanfiction. He does not even exist in the universe created by that fanfiction and so the characters fall in love with him for literally no reason. I'd have pegged Ice King as being a man of many problems, but before that episode came out, I never would have seen him as a fanbrat.
