Every day

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

So I'm thinking about writing a book...

But even if I manage to finish it, I have no idea how to publish it...

Any tips?

I thought it was funny

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

Yeah pretty much

Yep, pretty much

So... if anybody here enjoyed my AWO story Rematch, I finally posted the first chapter of the sequel. It's a little short but at the same time I think it ended at a decent spot. It'll be slow to update, but I just wanted to let y'all know it's finally here!

It's a fanart for @stressed2obsessed's very cool fanfic O Brother! This scene was very wholesome :D

That's how porcupinecones look in my head but I'm not sure if that's exactly how they are described in the fic. And also, I don't remember if they were wearing anything specific in this scene but it's winter so they have jackets.
