* Among comics fans, GeoffJohns is well-known for loving two things: the DC comics of the '70s, and people getting their arms ripped off.

* Creator/GeorgeLucas wrote Leia as a 14 year-old in a romantic relationship with an older Luke Skywalker in the first draft of ''Franchise/StarWars''. He then was ''very'' enthusiastic about Franchise/IndianaJones having met, romanced and abandoned Marion when she was 14 while brainstorming ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' with Kasdan and Spielberg; this is not stated outright in the final film but it's implied that Marion was very young and Indy took advantage of her when she says "I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it!"·(the official ''Ultimate Guide'' says that she was 16 and Indy 10 years older). Finally, Amidala was 14 years old when she met Anakin in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', although he was actually younger than her (9) and no romance took place until the next movie, set 10 years after that.
** Lucas also loves high-speed chase sequences, because of his interest in cars when he was younger. Every ''Franchise/StarWars'' film has at least one: ''Film/ANewHope'' (Death Star trench run), ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' (asteroid field chase), ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' (speeder bikes and Death Star interior), ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' (pod racing), ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' (Geonosis asteroid belt chase), ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' (General Grievous' pursuit).

* HPLovecraft ''really'' liked adjectives in his stories.

* Creator/ChuckPalahniuk always manages to get non-plot-related gay sex, homoerotic imagery, or at least a guy beating off into his novels. Apart from his obvious love of genital injury...

* Robert Pollard, of Guided By Voices and way more, has a strange obsession with airplanes. It has never been explained why this is.

* [[{{Botchamania}} Maffew]] ''reeeealy'' likes Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, and wants his followers to like it, too. More than one of the Botchamania videos have had allusions to the small, independent wrestling promotion; even their main website links to Chikara's page.

* {{Wrestling/WWE}} chairman Wrestling/VinceMcMahon has apparently been pushing for an incest angle for years now, and, at one time, even proposed a storyline that would show himself as the on-screen father of his daughter Stephanie's child (thankfully, Stephanie, as head of WWE's creative committee, was able to veto that one). He appears to have finally gotten his wish with Paul and Katie Lea Burchill, a brother/sister pairing who, when they debuted, had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much {{Subtext}}. Fortunately, the incest portion of the gimmick was eventually dropped, and the Burchills were re-cast as a British RichBitch and her overprotective brother. And then became {{Jobber}}s, now that they no longer had Vince's interest. While we're on the topic on Vince [=McMahon=], he likes big, muscular men (i.e., bodybuilders). And he will push them, regardless of whether they're talented or not.

* Daigo Ikeno, the artist behind the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series (specifically ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Third Strike]]'', ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX EX3]]'', and the ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV IV]]'' series), is responsible for Chun-Li's thighs increasing in girth with each game, as he loves him some big ol' thighs. The producer of the series, Yoshinori Ono, prefers thinner women, so Ikeno has admitted that he's often delivered thinner designs at the start of development and slowly made [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-Li's]] legs thicker with each new drawing. Then, once he's sent his final design to the 3D model crew, it would be far too late for Ono to do anything about it. (It's all in good fun, though, and the two men have had a good laugh about it.) So prominent is Ikeno's love of thick thighs that ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' featured Nina Williams as having some pretty thick thighs herself, even though they are more slender in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''.

* Vonda [=McIntyre=] seems to like [[{{Polyamory}} group marriages]], {{transhuman}}ism, contraception (and other things) via biofeedback, and UnscaledMerfolk.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' showcases Creator/HajimeIsayama's love of people with lean muscular builds. In particular, Mikasa, in art where she wears a tank top, is built like a brick house.
* Creator/DaisukeIshiwatari loves him some rock, especially classic 80s rock like Music/{{Queen}}. His magnum opus, ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', is testament to this, with an absolutely rocking soundtrack (composed by Ishiwatari), his AuthorAvatar (whom he voiced) being named after a Queen song, and various other characters named after rock musicians and bands, such as [[Music/FrankZappa Zappa]] and Music/{{Slayer}}.
** His character designs are more often than not [[ImprobableWeaponUser Improbable Weapon Users]], and tend to wear a lot of [[TooManyBelts belts.]]

** He also likes to draw butts, which was lampooned by his SitcomArchNemesis David Willis as [[AscendedMeme "butts disease"]].
* [[http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/ Niklas Jansson]], has a tendency to draw girls with exposed midriffs, white low-leg panties ([[LampshadeHanging it's even in his deviantArt name]]), and white thigh-highs with knee-high boots. Even when he's doing his game "redesigns", these will pop up, regardless of setting. For example, count the girls dressed such in [[http://androidarts.com/kawaiik/kawaiik.htm Kawaiik]].

*** In the rare instance one of his books isn't set it Maine, it will probably take place in Colorado.

** There is also a non-sexual example from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Martin clearly loves reading and books (granted, that's not such a surprise considering that he's an ''[[MostWritersAreWriters author]]''), and every character who is depicted as a great reader or lover of literature is sympathetic. At the beginning of the series, we are informed that Winterfell, the ancestral seat of House Stark, is home to one of the greatest libraries in Westeros. Tyrion, by far the most sympathetic Lannister, loves reading. Samwell Tarly loves reading. Rhaegar Targaryen loves reading. Rodrik Harlaw, possibly the only genuinely sympathetic of the Ironborn lords, and the only one who seems to think that there's more to life than raping and pillaging, loves reading. Ser Jorah Mormont gave Daenerys Targaryen books as a wedding gift. In short, not every sympathetic, likeable character is a great reader, but every great reader is a sympathetic, likeable character.

* Creator/FrankMiller's work is notorious for almost always featuring at least one female character who is a prostitute (often of the dominatrix type). This tendency of Miller's reached its apotheosis in ''SinCity'' (movie and comic), in which a neighborhood of the titular city is wholly populated and governed by prostitutes. (Who nevertheless require a man's help when they get into serious trouble.) He's managed to avert this so far in ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'', which has proven the least tolerable work of his career.

* John Norman's ''Literature/{{Gor}}'' novels began as somewhat mediocre PlanetaryRomance novels, but rapidly came to revolve entirely around the elaborate system of sex slavery practiced by the men of Gor. The series has actually spawned a [[RuleThirtyFour small but vocal BDSM subculture.]]

* Creator/ChuckPalahniuk always manages to get not plot-related gay sex, homoerotic imagery, or at least a guy beating off into his novels. Apart from his obvious love of genital injury...

* Jeph Jacques, creator of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', is obsessed with girls with psychological issues, and the entire cast of his webcomic except for a small handful of male characters is filled with just that. He also loves skinny girls, though a lot of focus gets put on a pair of curvier womens' busts. His love of short hair was so noted that he admitted it in a post, promising to not cut all of a character's long hair off right away like he usually does.

** In ''[[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan The Invincible]]'', Red Sonja {{Expy}} Karela The Red Hawk was forcibly stripped and bound by bandits. She was also mind-controlled into dancing in the nude (and possibly more) by an evil wizard. The same wizard freely admitting to having a boot fetish, and forced Karela to strip down so she was wearing nothing but her leather boots. And she ended the novel nude except for a metal collar, on a slave chain, begging Conan to buy her.
** ''Conan The Triumphant'' centered upon Al'Kiir; the demon-god of female subjugation who required a steady stream of female souls to "play" with. Al'Kiir was said to prefer very strong-willed women as "brides" and his rituals required sacrifices to be stripped, oiled with some kind of aphrodisiac, chained down and whipped. Naturally Karela wound up on the altar by the novel's end...
** The Conan books at least were considered an OldShame on Jordan's part, originally published under a different name.
** If [[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Robert Jordan's]] above noted fetishes weren't enough, [[HideYourLesbians discreet lesbian relationships]] ("pillow friends") are referred to with increasing frequency among the various all-female organizations, especially among Aes Sedai, due to SituationalSexuality. Most Tower initiates grow out of this once they become full Aes Sedai; some of them don't, and Galina Casban verges on PsychoLesbian at some points, but most Aes Sedai are simply asexual.

* Creator/StephenieMeyer: The driving force behind characters in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series, but most especially the protagonists Bella and Edward, is that they have a predestined OneTrueLove with whom they are paired, even before ''conception''! Though Meyer gets a lot of accusations of this, CleolindaJones had a more humorous hypothesis. In her summary of ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} Breaking Dawn]]'', Cleo suggests that Renesmee being a "perfect baby" (sleeps most of the day, never cries, can communicate psychically) sounds like the fantasy of a woman who's had three kids ("I haven't slept in days, please God send help").

** Also, for some reason [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Digletts]] keep [[{{Pun}} popping up]], as do Magnemites.

* Creator/TamoraPierce finds older men attractive. All three of [[Literature/SongOfTheLioness Alanna's]] paramours are older and [[Literature/TheImmortals Daine]] falls in love with Numair, who's twice her age. (The fan outcry over the latter instance had her promise not to include ''that'' large an age gap again.) She's also a big animal person, and each protagonist usually has [[ABoyAndHisX at least one animal companion]] with them in both the ''Literature/TortallUniverse'' and ''Literature/CircleOfMagic'' books.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' showcases Creator/HajimeIsayama's love of people with lean muscular builds. In particular, Mikasa, in art where she wears a tank top, is built like brick house.

* Almost everything Creator/LaurenFaust has worked on contains at least one reference reference to chocolate milk and Film/TheBigLebowski.

* KentaroMiura's ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' contains a ridiculously varied palette of battle armor, all drawn in exquisite detail.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' showcases HajimeIsayama's love of people with lean muscular builds. In particular, Mikasa, in art where she wears a tank top, is built like brick house.
