True story: a fic I was writing in 2008 suddenly gained me lots of followers and lesser BNF status very suddenly, overnight. I had random people messaging me out of the blue that my fic had caused them to ship a pairing that they never would have even considered before. I'd started it completely off the cuff as a response fic to another fic in our community, based on a dream I'd had the week before.

I'd always wondered what it would be like to be a popular writer in any fandom - and when it did happen, it was incredibly stressful. I basically had a minor nervous breakdown and backed away from the fic. To this day, I still haven't finished it. I know "be careful what you wish for" is cliche, but yeah.
