* RealityIsUnrealistic: In-Universe example. Lisey recalls how Scott once read a newspaper article about a dog named Ralph, who got lost and found his way home over the course of three years and countless miles, and complained that if he where to use such a plot for one of his stories, his editors would never accept it since it would be unbelievable.
