Metafiction
Should be updated to clarify that the dropping of "the" from 10,000 Dawns is only in the context of the name of the Forgotten Heroines of 10,000 Dawns' group name, not a general world

Metafiction was a concept that described characters and objects that went beyond fictional bounds. Things that were metafictional could also be referred to as meta, including meta-worlds.
Universes in the 10,000 Dawns were usually more partial to metafictional activity, though varied in terms of how metafictional they were. Some characteristics of metafictional Dawns included them being genre-based, black-and-white, the skipping of plot beats to get to a climax, and characters' awareness of themselves as characters. Notably, 10,000 Dawns were not referred to as 'the' 10,000 dawns "for meta reasons". (PROSE: Taste the Noodles of Dracula [+]Loading...["Taste the Noodles of Dracula (short story)"])
In what she later described as a "metafictional situation" set up by Auteur, Graelyn Scythes was deaged into a baby and grew up all over again before she got her memories back. (PROSE: Taste the Noodles of Dracula [+]Loading...["Taste the Noodles of Dracula (short story)"])
Ostara called the Interdimensional Copyright Office "metafictional freaks" when the Mad Hatter warned them about referencing a version of Alice in Wonderland they didn't have the rights to. The March Hare returned the insult to Ostara, who was the story's author. (PROSE: Tea Time!! Noodles!! [+]Loading...["Tea Time!! Noodles!! (short story)"])
Graelyn Scythes theorised that the Noodle Man was a "metafictional thing", stating that she and Archimedes Von Ahnerabe had "done metafictional stuff before" and that she had "metafictional stuff in [her] family tree." She noted that he didn't think the Dawn she was in was "that metafictional", noting that Count Dracula had not known that she was a character. Shona Daniels echoed this theory, stating that the Noodle Man "stole [their] gimmick" from when they rampaged through the 10,000 Dawns to make a name for themselves, "only with the metafiction levels turned, like, way up." Archimedes Von Ahnerabe called him a "metafictional cuckoo". (PROSE: Taste the Noodles of Dracula [+]Loading...["Taste the Noodles of Dracula (short story)"])
