...whether right or wrong about the other, I would certainly not have called it "very new"; it's been around close to a year now, at the very least, which IMO is far too long to describe that way.
And as I meant but perhaps did not say: even with the author's explicit statement that that's why he did it, I still don't know why the author did it, or rather why the author felt it necessary to do it. I understand the rationale for trying to make it findable by both fandoms, and I can even see where it would make sense, but it's still both a strange step to take and AFAICT a previously unprecedented one. That is not to condemn or attack the approach, just to say that even with the rationale given, in the larger context it seems like an odd decision.
That said, I intend to drop the subject, as it's rather offtopic for this thread. (I apologize if this seems rude, but I know myself well enough to be aware that if I don't draw a line with this kind of statement, I am unlikely to be able to restrain myself from continuing to argue even when no good purpose is served by it.)
