Although it's originally Drosselmeyer telling Princess Tutu's story, she does take some control of it and its outcome by the end. And even though her Tutu self has to play out the role assigned to her (turn into a speck of light and disappear) her Duck self heads off into her own story (hanging in the pond and with Fakir and generally being her own self).
I'd need to reread The Hero and the Crown to be sure, but isn't it Aerin's imagining herself as a hero and dragonslayer that sets her to working out ways to slay dragons?
And Tiernay West in Secret of the Three Treasures is totally about altering reality by telling her own stories about it. :-)
