Are there examples of “viral fiction” besides that one cat-person short story?
Does virality meaningfully apply to fiction, as in rapid contagion (seems to me in general, fiction gets popular in a more slow-burn way based on people actually thinking before sharing/talking)

I got a similar vibe from The Feminist. Though I’m not sure how popular it was relative to Cat Person. nplusonemag.com/issue-35/ficti

looks like cat person was maybe an order of magnitude more popular based on the publishers tweers sharing the story
