AO3/Squidgeworld/CFAA authors, Have you ever written a fic for a noncanon tag in hopes that it would become canon?

I wrote a fic specifically so a niche tag would become canon

No, but I went out of my way to add a niche tag in hopes it would become canon

I've done both of the above

I don’t consider canonicity when adding tags

Gotta love the “I Don’t Even Know” tag on AO3 bc you know you’re getting something that *had* to spill out of the author. Something that worked its way past all their doubts enough to be posted even as the author is still unsure of it.
