So, you write obsessively detailed imagines that you never make into actual fics, and that's your thing. Cool. We all need a thing. If one of your friends wrote a fic based on your imagine, the polite thing to do would be to treat it like a prompt fill and link back to the original prompt. You know, if you're old enough to remember prompt fills and pre-tumblr/twitter manners.

Thing is, you did this on tumblr, where you're self-admittedly kind of a nobody. And the average age of the people picking up prompts is, like, 15. And there aren't really community interaction rules because tumblr's designed for posting and reblogging content, not developing relationships. So it's not very realistic to expect that the random teenager who wrote a fic based on your imagine would sift through the reblogs to find the original poster and give them credit.

Besides which, as multiple other people have pointed out, you aren't the mastermind behind the Flaming Homer. You described a drink that you wished someone else would make and someone else made it. Thank the author for writing a story based on your imagine and move on with your life.

I mean, I'm in a discord with this person and we have spoken. Also, if you actually try reading the secret, you will see that I specifically said I wouldn't have minded even an oblique acknowledgement of "a post they read on tumblr." But go off, I guess.

Also, nah, not gonna thank someone for using my content and neglecting to mention anybody else was involved. Honestly, side-eyeing you pretty hard rn.

Gee, it's hard to believe that you're not a big deal in your fandom. You contribute so much and ask so little.

Oh wait, I read your secret and it sounds like you weren't actually going to turn that plot idea into a fic even though you thought it would be a good idea for a fic. Which means that if you weren't an asshole, you'd thank the author for actually going to the effort of writing the fic you wanted written.

However, since your entire purpose in all of this is to get ass pats for coming up with half finished fic ideas, you're SOL. Sucks to be you, I guess.

But wow, you’re being a prick for no reason.
