STWWX is "famous in its own right" in my opinion, even if it's more because of its metadata than its story. As you say, it proved that the metadata is an integral part of a fic on AO3. And, while I hate to compare anything to "Agony in Pink," part of that fic's Legendary-ness is that it got the newsgroup that hosted it banned in Australia. If it makes waves beyond fandom, that surely counts for something, and there's the precedent.

Anyway, the guidelines are more like guidelines than actual rules; it's just that people will keep on asking if they can say their pet hate is a Legendary, so we needed some way to filter suggestions more or less objectively.

... I really feel like I've said all this before. Have I?
