What was the post of having a reveals post then! This is someone’s gift, it seems presumptuous and a but rude to gift them something that long (and I love longfic) and also give them a bunch of research notes too. Based on the comments nobody seemed to care, they could have put it in their reveals post for those who enjoy that stuff and not made it even more obvious the fic was their passion project rather than something for their recip. That’s my issue, not that they’re proud of it. Stating the prompt from the start feels like “well you asked for it” and is not a good way to endear someone to your very long indulgent fic.

Coalie, truly, there is nothing negative here rather than what you put in. There is nothing in this author's note that says they wrote it for themselves RATHER than their recip. There is nothing negative about saying briefly "written for X prompt". What if the recip had multiple prompts even? Is it negative to say which one was written for?

It's like you're writhing in agony over the possibility of this author being perceived as anything other than a gift-delivering machine.

Point. I personally wouldn't remark on a pinch hit being one of the very last pinch hits because that means the person got picked last and that isn't the nicest feeling? But they may not care and it isn't really a big deal.

disagree, linking your own letters in the gift fic you wrote for someone and asking for fics (which comes off as asking either readers or the recip to write for them back) is much worse

Someone's being weird and wanky here, and it's not the person who wrote that author's note.
