** Gainax's approach to [[Cash Cow Franchise|milking the franchise]], on the other hand, is pretty much the polar opposite. They've licensed production of Rei and Asuka (and now Mari) figures in [[Fetish Fuel|pretty much every fetishistic outfit man has ever conceived]].
* For ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt]]'' on the other hand, [[Studio Gainax|Gainax]] seems to be encouraging doujinshi of the series, asking the creators to "work hard" for the then upcoming Comiket 79.
* [[Naoko Takeuchi]], creator/author/artist of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', enthusiastically encourages and enjoys reading fanworks based on it, including hentai material, and has been known to say so in her manga marginalia. Not to mention she herself drawing Usagi topless (and averting [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] by giving her nipples) in the [[Doujinshi]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180216152255/http://mangastyle.net/sailormoon-artbook-vol-infinity/ Pretty Solider Sailor Moon Original Picture Collection Volume Infinity]'', which is hardly porn but a little racy. Funnily enough the editors at Kodansha were more upset by the picture of Usagi in just her underwear than the topless picture.
* Ryogho Narita (creator of ''[[Baccano!]]'' and ''[[Durarara!!]]'') stated that, while he doesn't understand why so many people want to see [[Foe Yay|Shizuo and Izaya]] have steamy hatesex with each other, he can't exactly object to it when [[One of Us|he himself ships]] [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Harumi/Chiri]]. He's also prone to poking fun at shipping/Rule 34 tendencies in general (Erika's biggest shipping dilemma: [[Cargo Ship|Trolls/Fans or Fans/Trolls]]?).
** Mind you, he even wrote a short NSFW [[Foe Yay|Shizaya]] fiction, even though it was [[All Just a Dream]], and an [[April Fools]] joke.

** According to some of the older members of [[Furry Fandom]], back when the fandom was mostly limited to southern California, one clueless artist tried for a job at Disney studios by showing them his portfolio of very creepy Disney erotica — and was banned from the grounds
** Equally infamous is the story of author [[Harlan Ellison]]'s one and only day working for Disney; [http://harlanellison.com/iwrite/mostimp.htm Ellison himself tells the story with his trademark mix of humor and outrage (part 3 of the link)]. According to him, the day started very promisingly but ended immediately after a lunch where he joked about (and acted out) a hypothetical Mickey Mouse porn film.
** Interestingly, Disney chose ''not'' to sue ''The Realist'' or Wally Wood when he did his infamous [https://web.archive.org/web/20120319230252/http://www.illegal-art.org/print/popups/orgy.html Disneyland Memorial Orgy] (the image, while not showing explicit depictions of genitalia, is probably not worksafe), on the feeling that it was probably protected as parody (as well as the possibility that the lawsuit would bring unwanted publicity). They ''did,'' however, sue the poster company selling unauthorized copies of Wood's work.
** Some animators at Disney actually draw this kind of stuff in their free time at work and joke about it. Unlike the examples above, however, they're smart enough to keep it to themselves and their co-workers.
** Joseph Michael Linsner, in his "Dawn & Beyond" collectible art card set, included two Disney pieces. The first, a topless Ariel seen by a pop-eyed Sebastian, is fairly tame. The second, Beauty getting molested by Beast with Lumiere as a vibrator looking on, is rather less so. Disney went after Linsner, and the set was recalled and is now sold without those two pieces included. To be fair, this stuff ''was'' being sold for real money, which of course is copyright infringement any way you slice it.

'''Shelley''': Um, that's lovely, Dennis. Maybe it overflatters my flexibilty and unicorn riding abilities. }}
* [[Andrew Hussie]] of ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' seems to take a sort of perverse pleasure towards [[Jossed|Jossing]] all the shipping and fanfic his fans write. Except for the people who ship ''him''. [http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie/q/1818596996 From his formspring]{{Dead link}};
