Teasing Creator: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* [[Ken Akamatsu]] loves doing this, especially in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. It's still impossible to tell it's a [[Harem Series]], a subversion thereof, a [[Double Subversion]], a parody, or whatever. Then there's the massive amount of [[Ship Tease]] in the story, much of which seems to exist solely to mess with the heads of the readers. Especially Negi/Asuna. Naturally {{spoiler|Asuna seems to be Negi's aunt.}}

** The best/worst example: In one interview during the Magic World arc, he stated that {{spoiler|Zazie's true form}} would be revealed in the final arc. Soon after, {{spoiler|Zazie shows up in Mundus Magicus}}, creating an ''enormous'' stir among the fans, who believed that the end of the manga was imminent. Then shortly after ''that'' it turns out that {{spoiler|it's actually her ''sister''}}. There's no way he didn't plan that. (And anyway, that statement doesn't mean [[The Reveal]] can't ''also'' happen ''before'' the final arc...)

 

== Music ==

* [[Sound Horizon]]'s Revo has [http://sh-whitecrow.com/magazine/anisongmate01/ gone on record] saying that he sometimes puts something in a song simply because he knows that the fans will drive themselves crazy trying to figure out what it means.

{{quote|'''Revo:''' I’m even plotting to make you all suspicious and go “Maybe there’s something more to this?”.}}

* Aeire, author of ''[[Queen of Wands]]'', was notorious for this. Mostly avoiding regular boyfriends for Kestrel (the main character), the strip introduced many handsome, charming or interesting male characters for the sole purpose of getting the fanbase to Ship them with her.

* When told of an [[Epileptic Tree]], the author of ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' will state that it is true, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, even if it contradicts established fact.

* [[MS Paint Adventures|Andrew Hussie]] has something of a widespread reputation with this, especially the farther things get in ''[[Homestuck]]''.
