* Varric, in the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' universe, is a writer who enjoys promoting his most famous book, ''Hard in Hightown.'' Most notably, he urges the ''players'' to "buy my book" in the video the developers made to say thanks for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' being nominated for Game of the Year 2014 (which it won). Come 2018, this has become even funnier now that ''Hard in Hightown'' is available as an actual book.

* Varric, in the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' universe, is a writer who enjoys promoting his most famous book, ''Hard in Hightown.'' However, his NiceGuy personality has him as the more downplayed version of the trope; his books sell well even without his involvement, and he seems to find the whole situation more amusing than anything. Most notably, he urges the ''players'' to "buy my book" in the video the developers made to say thanks for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' being nominated for Game of the Year 2014 (which it won). Come 2018, this has become even funnier now that ''Hard in Hightown'' is available as an actual book.

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', there's Mei Hatsume, from the Support Hero Course, [[GadgeteerGenius who is constantly trying to promote her inventions]] (which she calls her "babies"). In fact, during the [[TournamentArc Sports Festival]], her whole fight with Iida amounts to pretty much use him as a guinea pig to show off her gadgets, and once she's done she steps out of the ring and throws the match.
