#anyway im pretty sure obama is generally aware of the basic genre of political rpf and his standard role in it

Chat I'm going to be honest. One of the things that haunts me, that grips me by the throat and makes me overthink my RPF stories to the point of not posting, is the idea that one of Obama's Hip Gen X/Millennial aides might find my fic and know I got something terribly, embarrassingly wrong.

This isn't likely, not at all. But the problem is that it's possible. In fact, of everyone involved, his circle is the most likely. Like, the last time Kerry was relevant in (English-speaking) RPF spaces, that was the realm of LiveJournal and FF.net. But Obama? He's hip. He's with it. He had two teenage daughters. And that's just him, not his aides.

The risk is miniscule. I'm currently sitting at around 6 kudos. But it isn't zero.

To make it worse? I'm not even writing sex scenes. I'm embarrassed about like, not wholly understanding what it's like to be at a top level of government because, I'm so sorry Mr. President, I'm a 20-something living in Hicksville.
