Wow this fandom sounds messy as hell. (Succession? Some Cdrama?) Check out their comments on other gifts but honestly if they requested it I can’t see why they would bother if they dislike the talent pool. They’re playing themselves if they were a part of that group. As long as you’re acting in good faith you shouldn’t be worried. As for the rest of the fandom/other BNFs, usually their fic isn’t that great so I’m sure there will be many readers happy for fic that isn’t full of that BNF bad karma ego.
