How about a Lit author is writing a particularly convoluted tale. It could be a mystery, a romance, or just a saucy sex romp, but either way, it is a sticky situation for the characters. And then, by some magical means or other, he (the author himself) finds himself sucked into the actual story! Maybe he has become one of his own characters, or maybe he is still himself, as a new character in the story. He is no longer writing it now, of course, but he is stuck with the characters, settings, and conflicts that he himself had set up, and must deal with them, for good or for evil.
Okay, this idea isn't even half-baked yet, it's not even in the oven. But it is wide open for possibilities. What do you think could happen? What kind of stories, characters, conflicts, and resolutions would lend themselves to this treatment?
