Sandbox / Author Usurpation Wick Check

Author Usurpation is currently listed on Tropes Needing TRS for several reasons:

• It's about a work that overshadows the rest of the creator's work, making it redundant to One-Hit Wonder.
• The name is unclear because "usurpation" refers to wrongful holding of a position.
• It’s about an audience's reaction to a creator's work, but is classified as an objective trope.

This wick check is to determine how many of Author Usurpation's wicks overlap with One-Hit Wonder. All wicks that aren't in the Administrivia or namespace will be checked.

Wicks checked: 14/50
