Things I Should Have Written Down During the Night

Lying awake, I started thinking about mini-goncharovs— stories by single authors that create movies that don’t exist in reality. I’m sure I listed four, but at the moment I can only recall three:

Hyperboloids of Wondrous Light 

The King In Yellow (1949) 

You’re Wrong About Misericorde

Well, Goncharov wasn't by a single author.

There is, of course, Night Beats, but it's not a movie and not by a single author.

Yeah, I’ve decided to define this genre as 1. By a single author, and 2. In the form of either a review of, or a personal reminiscence or non-fiction article about, a movie that doesn’t exist in our reality (otherwise I’d have included Camelot Studios Presents https://archiveofourown.org/works/17682371/chapters/41707190, an Arthurian AU in which the characters are making a movie.
