In Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, the idea that story shapes the world runs deep, and in I Shall Wear Midnight, Tiffany takes control of the story the Cunning Man wants to tell about her and twists it back on him by using folk customs. It's kind of a slantwise example of what you're talking about, but the underlying premise is there.
