So I had a dream (twice now, making it a THING), where they made a 4th Iron Man film. And a bunch of us went, and I was like, huh, we haven’t had any leaks about this film, I wonder what it’s going to be about.
It ended up being, almost word for word, “Four (or Five) Reasons,” except they took the gay bits out. So they made a big budget version of my fanfic, and removed the kissing parts.
I was very insulted that they removed the kissing parts, but other than that, I was mostly confused as to why the hell this was happening, because, you know, it’s not exactly an obscure fic. It’s… It’s still up there in Kudos. Someone other than me is going to notice that Disney lifted the whole plot from a fanfic.
Which was apparently a more common problem than I knew, because Disney promptly tried to sue me for having written it, and also sent snipers to kill me.
Long story short, Sam and I ended up in a safehouse run by AO3, hiding from trained Disney assassins. And when Sam called his work and was like, “Can I work from home today? Disney’s trying to kill me again,” his boss was surprisingly understanding.
My new manager does have a super lenient attitude towards working from home. She’d probably be cool with it. “Are you using VPN when logging on from the unsecured wifi in the safe house? Yes? Okay, cool.”
