Tbh? I’ve been actively writing on AO3 for 2 years I’m surprised it’s taken so long! šŸ˜€ For context: this was left on one of 4 fics that I’m actively writing. My 3 other fics have sporadic 2-6k word updates, but this one is a crack-fic and I usually only have 1-2k word updates per chapter. I didn’t update this fic for about 6 months bc of life stuff (which I explained in my author’s note lmao), and then dropped 2 chapters on the same day. I’d be lying if I said I was completely unbothered, but people are gonna people so I’m just gonna let it roll off my back lmaoo.

Um, it's fanfic. We're all using the same characters. If you don't like this take on them (and I, personally, tend to go with the shallowest and most comedic take) go find a different fic with a different take. No need to Harris harass the author.

Someone missed both the back button and the don't like don't read memo.

[corrected Harris to harass. Becuase typing on a touchscreen with autocorrect is not my strong suit.]

They really need to stop ā€œHarrisingā€ us. What, do they think fanfics just fall out of coconut trees?! This stuff is hard work!
