rugessnomeaccidentally learned that the top fic on AO3 by hits is apparently one I bounced hard off (due to "he would not say that/act like that" and uhhh weird class stuff about the portrayal of a major side/antagonist character) and that it has its own fandom including on tiktok and I feel kind of weird about this.
(I mean. it's also an HP fic, so that at this point throws an additional twist into my feelings.)
...how did it come up, you ask? ...I was contemplating writing a permission statement and trying to work out how to phrase telling people not to do the legally dubious act of submitting it to a ~publishing service as if for "self-publication"—which I'd heard people had done with this particular fic.
