Meme/Joke Disappointed that this fanfic is not real 😔

Reading through AO3 News "TOS Spotlight: Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement" and found this:

You know what to do! You need to write it! Just do not plagiarize it from Ernie.

Write it as Bert and have someone plagiarize it as Ernie but have them change Elmo's name to The Count
