The games in both series include numerous references to his works, including character and location names, as well as more general references to Lovecraft's style, such as a high number of Eldritch Abomination-like monstrosities.

If you're playing an open-world Western RPG which has a Humongous Mecha (even if it's just in the backstory), tries to rely on environmental details to tell the story, features detailed landscapes ( at least for its time), likes to create fascinating and flawed characters that often reveal Hidden Depths over the course of the story just as much as Bit Characters, analyzes Fantastic Racism and the worth of a person's soul/ position in life, gives the player as much freedom as they can while still suffering from a lack of direction, and jumps merrily around the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, chances are that you're playing a Bethesda game.See also Write What You Know, which can be similar to and overlap with Author Appeal, but is when the author writes about something because they know about it rather than any particular personal attraction. Contrast Playing to the Fetishes (the former name for Fanservice) when it seems like the author is acting out a personal fetish but is in fact just playing to a niche demographic. Inversion of Author Phobia, in which the creator uses their personal dread in a work. Creator's Favorite may also be relevant when specific characters, not kinks or gimmicks, keep reappearing. Sometimes Author Appeal nets you not only people with similar interests, but people on the receiving end of those interests who may be flattered to be an object of an author's/fandom's affection.Ĭompare Fanservice, Author Tract, Writer on Board, and Filibuster Freefall.

On the flipside, an audience who enjoys a work specifically because of Author Appeal can be easy to produce work for, if the rarity of such works sufficiently balances out any faults with the work itself. Interestingly, with careful handling, Author Appeal can still remain subtext which may not be detected until much later. Beyond just being written from the ground up to appeal to the author's interests, most writers can't help but to then derail the storyline and other characters to facilitate the character that's the line where Author Appeal gets out of hand. Deliberately satirical or political stories often invoke associated Take That! moments.Īuthor Appeal is perhaps the single leading cause of Massive Multiplayer Crossover settings. Often, this can overlap with a certain philosophy the author espouses.

A kind of Fanservice where the presence of a particular gimmick or kink is so widespread and prominent that it is interpreted as a specific reason the creator actually produced the work.
