I'm not really famous on the Internet. That's a title reserved for the likes of Jenna Marbles and the Numa Numa Guy. But I've been in situations where people I met in real life for the first time who knew who I was already. It was like ...
"Hi, I'm Bunny."
"Yeah, I know."
So that was weird.
I've also had this weird problem with a fanfiction I wrote ages ago. People turn up wanting a copy of it. Five, ten years after I wrote it. I once had a reader send me fanart from my fanfiction.
That was weird too.
Part of the problem (okay, the WHOLE problem) was that ff.net took down their "adult" section some years back (before, I guess, restoring it and blessing the world with 50 Shades of Porno). My story was "adult" and so it disappeared with the category. I tried to censor it to an "R" version, but it was just so hard because it was SO FUCKING LONG OH MY GOD HOW DID I WRITE THAT MUCH ABOUT STREET FIGHTER CHARACTERS? So it disappeared into the ether. Someone had requested to host it on their site with Street Fighter fanfictions, and that too disappeared at some point. 2001 was a long time ago. I feel old. Etc.
Often I think about restarting it. I remember some bits and elements of the plot, and I wonder if I shouldn't just try again. It could be a fun distraction from my own novel, and I love me some Street Fighter. And there are people on the internet who might appreciate it.
It's just a thought.
