alphabetical authorities

Da "top people" whom folks consult for advice/assistance on a variety of ordinary topics dat are randomly scattered about over da "ol' 26" in da English language.
Da seven most common types of alphabetical authorities are:
(1) hexpert --- someone who is super-familiar with voodoo and curses; hopefully he uses said vast witchcraft-knowledge to remove or alleviate said evil spells, not to put them on in da first place!
(2) mexpert --- an individual well-versed in all matters "south of da border".
(3) pexpert --- a plumber who is well-versed in da use of freeze-resistant plastic piping
(4) rexpert --- a learned bookworm on da subject of certain animals, either man's best friend or da huge hunched-over carnivores back in da Jurassic period.
(5) sexpert --- someone who can advise couples on achieving more satisfying intimacy.
(6) texpert --- a dude who knows all about da "black-tea"-rich southern-USA area dat is Ranger Walker's usual stompin' grounds.
(7) vexpert --- a human-nature guru with extensive experience on what pushes people's buttons; again --- as in da first example above --- presumably he uses said know-how to help **reduce** already-existing frustration/distress in others, not to purposely exhibit destructive behavior dat would cause people to **become** wound up when they had felt reasonably calm before! (Da infamous "gettin', getters, got"exchange between Madea and Dr. Phil comes to mind.)

Jackie didn't have the Authority

Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”

Coup Of The Author

When an audience either applies 'Death of the Author' or goes against the personal desires of said author. Often while this person, group or company is still alive.
This can include 'new cannon' being ignored, 'fan cannon', copying a game they want to remove, or adding mods more entertaining than dlcs, etc.
"Hey where can I get that horror game P.T?"
"Oh, they pulled that off the shelves for some reason. Pretty stupid if you ask me, its a great game"
"Really?"
"Yeah, luckily a bunch of people just copied the data and now spread it for free, real Coup of The Author."

Death of the author

A term describing the idea of how a viewer should have the freedom to interpretate any piece of artistic work, for better or worse:

For example: Movies, webcomics, videogames, songs, paintings, and any other diverse piece of fiction.

Contrary to popular belief, this idea is neither a positive nor negative idea, but still, it can be use for the creative expresion and the opportunity to make new and personal creations.

For example: Giving a story to a background character, making a comedic parody of a gritty-horror story, Making an imaginative non-official sequel or prequel...

And as said before, this works of fanfiction can be used for both great good and evil: Anybody can make a beutifull piece of art to detone their intrepretation of any work, or by the bad side, they can make porn of it. (Yes, porn is bad.)
Dude: I recently watched this very cool and scary movie, but sadly, my favorite protagonist died at the end, so i will just ret-con that by making the killer dumb and my protagonist more cooler.
Guy: Wtf?! You can't do that you baby pussy boy! You can't just aply the Death of the author in that situation! BE SAD! QUIT HAVING FUN! STOP THINKING AND JUST ACCEPT HOW MISERABLE EVERYTHING IS!
Dude: Fuck you you can't tell me what to do! *Kills the guy epic style.*

Author-Cast

Written with a hyphen, the phrase author-cast refers to the author's equivalent of a fancast. It is the practice of casting celebrities as characters in your book. Originated in the fanfic-writing community and is very prevalent on Wattpad. However, there is still an issue with representation in author-casts.
"Hey, I just finished my author-cast, want to see?"
"Oh, cool! You have Idris Elba casted as the dad!"
"Yeah, he looks just like how I imagined him!"
