Fine by me. All I'm saying is if the OP wants attention they should post where there is attention to be had, like AO3 and ff.net. Being a hipster about what l=places your fic is posted isn't going to get it read.

Since when is wanting to stay anon because you wrote weird incest rape (or whatever niche fill) "hipster"?

That's not the reason given for staying anon, it's because AO3 and ff.net are full of badfic and author inserts, which smack of hipster because it's too common for the likes of them or w/e. You can also post on AO3 and immediately orphan the work and no one will ever be the wiser, so the staying anon reasoning holds no water.

Parent up--the badfic thing was someone else, not OP. The op said they want to be anon.
