Andy CLAIMED a lot of popularity,claiming to be overwhelmed with asks and desperately sending messages out to all those poor anons who were contacting him with Destiel feels to strong to bear. No evidence any of that was real.

Likewise, row a while his sidebar said something like "yes, I'm the one behind those deconstructed SPN episodes", like people were searching out the originator of these works of genius.

I never ever saw anyone but him discussing his work, which makes me think he just assumed if he created a BNF vibe,cream popularity would follow. The MsScribe approach, basically.
