100 days of enemy recs: 92. UK Politics RPF

[melannen]

Have you ever had the experience when you're looking back over a fandom you used to be really into, and you wish you'd been smarter than to be really into that fandom, but it was over a decade ago, at least you never posted much in that fandom so your participation would probably be forgotten if you didn't, say, bring it up in a posting challenge? And then you scroll down the tag and two of your fics are in the top ten in the fandom by kudos, comments *and* bookmarks? And one of them is a fic you posted less than five years ago?

Anyway.

Don't ever get into RPF fandoms, folks, you will only be left betrayed and filled with regret.

Except for writing popular fic, I deeply, painfully feel every word of this entry. Let's leave it at that.

I am pretty sure mine floated to the top as a combination of being crossovers with less obscure fandoms, and also all the smarter people *not* posting their fic for that fandom unlocked on AO3. (I did retroactively lock all of my non-crossover ones in that fandom a few years ago. I think.)
