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 the lie is castmug. The word Cast Iron is a racial slur that has been used historically to degrade and dehumanize blacks. The word is still used by some people for this purpose, and it is seen as offensive and hurtful to blacks.
