It's as I tried to explain earlier: it's a very gray area becaues the characters themselves are never actually mentioned within the world (basically do other character acknowledge they exist(ed)?) As explained earlier, I view it like book titles: if a book title is mentioned in one of the books themselves, we almost never say the fictional author was mentioned in X saga book because they weren't: their work was but they themselves weren't. Now if the characters started to say "the author notes that Y and Z..." that could work as mentioned. It's the same way I view the gewnt cards where the character themselves are never mentioned itself.
