Basic Trope: An author tends to insert various quirks they like in their work.
- Straight: Bob, the creator of Amazing Girl, Alice and Bob, and Legends of Tropealia, always inserts a scantily clad woman in the aforementioned works.
- Exaggerated: Everything created by Bob has a scantily clad woman in it somewhere.
- Downplayed: Bob's work occasionally features a woman with a revealing outfit, but not very often.
- Justified:
- Bob likes scantily clad women and believes others will too.
- The series takes place in a setting with high temperature. If the girls wore too much, they might overheat themselves and die.
- Inverted:
- Bob outright refuses to put a scantily clad woman in any of his work, despite his own interest in that sort of thing.
- Bob is gay; he only puts in the scantily clad women because he knows the audience loves it.
- Despite medical scenes being very common, Bob's works have a conspicuous exclusion of all injections due to his own phobias.
- Subverted:
- Fans of Bob's work are surprised to find that Tales of Tropeville has no scantily clad women at all.
- The audience have come to expect scantily clad women in Bob's works, so he dare not disappoint them by going against type (and besides, his publishers won't let him).
- Double Subverted: But one shows up in the series finale as a Mythology Gag.
- Parodied: Bob likes scantily-clad women, so Bob makes all the women in his work scantily-clad, including the old and obese ones.
- Zig Zagged: Bob's work alternately do or do not include scantily clad women.
- Averted: Bob doesn't have any recognizable quirks in his portfolio.
- Enforced: Not applicable. (The creators always decide this trope on their own free will.)
- Lampshaded: "Another nearly naked lady?! What's wrong with the guy writing this stuff?!"
- Invoked: Not applicable. (This is an out-of-universe trope.)
- Exploited: The Genre Savvy characters are aware that a scantily clad woman will show up, so they look for her.
- Defied: The editor makes sure that gratuitous kinks don't slip in.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Seriously? What is with this show and scantily clad janitors?" "Must be the author's fetish."
- Implied: Not applicable. (This trope can only be shown.)
- Deconstructed:
- Fans of Bob's work are turned off by this, calling it nothing but fanservice.
- What appeals to Bob is not as simple as "naked attractive people" and it's so out there that it turns into an Audience-Alienating Premise.
- Reconstructed: Fans of Bob's work love his work because of the amount of fanservice in his work.
- Played For Laughs: Bob puts a banana in every work of his.
Bob just loves to add Author Appeal, doesn't he?
