As someone who has tried to get work done in several libraries, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment expressed in the real life example.

\\\"A kind of Fanservice where the presence of a particular gimmick or kink is so widespread and prominent that it is interpreted as a specific reason the creator actually produced the work\\\" or \\\"Writers write stuff they like into their stories, no matter how esoteric or kinky it is.\\\"
The politics of the Honorverse isn\\\'t a gimmick or kink, and isn\\\'t the least bit esoteric, but is part of the basic framework of the story even back in the beginning \\\'\\\'On Basilisk Station\\\'\\\'. I\\\'m not saying it isn\\\'t obviously an appeal that David Weber has, but that it doesn\\\'t count as an AuthorAppeal. The trope refers to when an author keeps inserting the same \\\'\\\'thing\\\'\\\' (Whether it be a character type, common reference, source of humor, etc.) into their various works just because they like that thing and not because it\\\'s necessary to the story; the politics here \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' the story.
It\\\'d be like listing \\\"space\\\" as George Lucas\\\'s author appeal or \\\"spies\\\" for Ian Fleming. Those aren\\\'t personal preferences that they force into their works (Well, except maybe the aliens in \\\'\\\'Crystal Skull\\\'\\\'), but are just the basic parts of their stories.
The politics certainly has expanded in the past few novels to where it\\\'s almost taken over, but that\\\'s just a shift in story focus, not him trying to add somethig new or extra to a plot that doesn\\\'t need it (I\\\'m not saying I wouldn\\\'t prefer a return to his earlier style, I\\\'ve grown weary of reading the Battle of Manticore from a different perspective in every frelling new book, just that this is still a part of the same story).
