Adj: A word describing how someone is the best writer you have ever seen, even better than a famous one. They can write about anything, even thigns they don't like to write about, and make it sound like the bet thing since white bread.

Get the Authorness mug.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!"

Get the Author-Cast mug.Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Get the "ghost writer" AUTHORity mug.Yeah. No.
Hym "There is no 'CO-author'. I wrote this alone. None of the work I used had anything to do with AI so it isn't based on or associated with anyone else's work. Anyone claiming to be the 'co-author' is (both) lying to you and stealing from me. I am THE author. The SOLE author. Godlike power. Archangel. Famed in war. Warrior lion. Anyone claiming to have helped, didn't do that at all. I didn't have a partner or assistant or a teammate and anyone claiming to be that is lying to get YOU to associated with THEM instead of the actual author, me, and they are doing it behind my back and they are doing it without crediting publicly. Which would be child-life assuring. So, yeah. No. No 'co-authors' allowed. The person claim to be this did not only NOT HELP but is claiming to be a co-author EXPLICITLY TO OBSTRUCT HELP as I sit here and die. So, murder anyone claim to be the 'co-author' of my work. Try to kill them before I die so I can see their family be sad."

Get the start of authority mug.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.
