Re: "a piece of my fiction is in the Yuletide 2020 tagset"

Oh, cool! I don't think (speaking as one on the fringes) that there's any problem with acknowledging. As long as you don't threaten to sue, people are happy.

Thank you! Periodically I run into discourse suggesting it is inappropriate for creators to interact with fanwork at all, which strikes me as bananapants considering how often these categories overlap, but I didn't want to infringe a less bananapants version of some kind of rule of politely non-commenting coexistence.

In fact, I know of one author who cut a few scenes from a novel manuscript and posted them to AO3 as official fan-fiction by the canon author, as in "Here, these didn't fit the finished story, but they're entertaining in themselves. Enjoy my orphaned darlings!"

That's adorable.
