"The issue with this argument is that the autonomy, or lack thereof, of the character with the power is of no consequence"

Actually, it is of particularly major consequence, as this lack of autonomy reduces FT to what it truly is : a narrative prank.

"there would still be no difference in the eyes of an atheist. Which in turn means that there is no objective way to justify the distinction."

In the eyes of an atheist, "God" is a fictional character too. Which means there is indeed no distinction, both being fiction.

Meta-fictional powers are the writer fooling around, and FT characters are simply their in-universe proxies. They do not possess any fiction-transcending abilities, they are simply puppeteered by the writer to deceive readers into believing so.

And apparently, it's working better than I thought ^ ^;

Anyway, it is clear you really fancy the concept, so I won't disturb your meta-fictional musing any longer.
