   Hello, this is a little awkward but I recently got a comment on one of my fics by a guest using your username, and I was wondering if that was, in fact, you and not a bot. Sorry if this is weird, I just wanted to check because the comment is something I want to take seriously if you were in earnest. (Also, love the artwork, the gold is so cool)

      No. I didn't. I am sorry. I am more than a bit concerned. Can you link me to it? Unless you mod the guest comments? Thanks for the compliment.

      If you do, can you say what it contained? Hope it wasn't flaming. I rarely log out and keep that checked off.

         I can delete the comment, I just wanted to confirm it was a bot so I could report it as it is not something I would want to report unless I was positive, the link is here (https://archiveofourown.org/works/37165060/chapters/177335126). It wasn't flaming, but it was both alarming and strange:

         "Wow, this fic is absolutely incredible! Your writing is so evocative, and the emotional resonance you achieve with your characters is truly remarkable. I've been completely hooked since chapter one and find myself checking for updates daily. I did want to bring something to your attention, though, that has been a minor concern for me. It feels as if the narrative subtly, and perhaps unintentionally, reinforces certain stereotypes about different racial groups. While I know this is likely not your intention, perhaps reviewing the way certain characters are portrayed, especially those of specific ethnicities, could help ensure the story is more inclusive and less prone to misinterpretation. It's a small adjustment, but it can make a big difference in how readers perceive the message."

         I assumed it was a legitimate comment and was, obviously, really concerned that I actually had reinforced racial stereotypes in my story and spent the day in a panic trying to figure out where and when I did, but once I read it a few times something seemed off and I thought I should check.

            Thanks! Yeah, that's most definitely not me. I also rarely am a part of the SWs fandom. Sorry, that happened. Go ahead and report it then I guess. Thanks for checking. Thanks for the quick response.
