I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

OK, so, hi.

It is me.

For anyone still around hoping for an update on STAY, I just want everyone to officially know, I have not forgotten about it, I've actually worked a bit on the next chapter, and my apprenticeship will be over in roughly August.

I got my written finals in 3 weeks, and I'm diving into writing again (this is such a problem I have, instead of studying, I get hardcore-fanfic fixated lmao), so I've been working a bit on a different fanfic.

But STAY will be back, I plan on rereading the wole fic, probably editing it (I'm gonna cringe at all the mistakes I've done, I just know it), and I'm also somewhat rewatching the anime with my bf (who's sooo jealous of Eren Jaeger, he's sooooooo jealous), so we're so gonna be BACK THIS YEAR GUYS.

Thank you for everyone who kept coming back to it, leaving comments, asking me how I'm doing, wishing me well, I love every single one of you so much.

I just finished rereading One Fool's Heart and im still so in love with it, esp with the character interactions with other persona users! Have you ever thought about writing short blurbs about any of that? My first thoughts would be domething from Narukami's pov when he first got readers social link based on the conversation about Narukami being a saint with the saintess link, but Akira being a cat with Ryuji would also be really funny. Once again I love your writing, dont forget to take care of yourself!

It's funny bcs someone else on AO3 told me, they're much more into the Narukami/Reader dynamic and that did something for me.

Thank you so much for rereading my silly story. I bet if I did the same rn, I'd cringe at all the mistakes I've done.

And I definitely thought about short stories from other character's POV, Narukami being one of them, but now that I think about it, Akechi would also be really fun to see.

Thank you so much for your comment!!! I'm sorry it took me this long to reply, I've been avoiding anything writing-related since the apprenticeship, but now that it's over soon, I'm venturing back into writing and I realise how much I've missed it and talking to amazing readers like you.

Just wanted to let you now that I think about SWYAATL nearly every day, it has to be one of my favorite fanfics ever ♥️❤️

BESTIE, me TOO!!

Trust me, it's been living rent-free in my head during all this time... I have not forgotten my gentle Emil, my fiery Eren, my dumb Jean and his now dead boyfriend Marco. Finals are done in roughly August, my written exam is coming up in three weeks and I'm slowly getting back into writing, so TRUST ME, I WILL BE BACK.

[philliamwrites]

Will you ever continue writing your Eren story😕

I want nothing more, trust me 😭😭😭

Started my final year and once the apprenticeship is over, I'll have enough time to just relax after work.... I hope you won't have to wait for another 10 months til I update tho.... 💀

[philliamwrites]

Angry pinning but not anymore

[philliamwrites]

more than i even like self inserts i love the power of the second person perspective. like from a literary standpoint, the discomfort of you is so deeply appealing to me. it forces the reader to engage with a story in a way it is not required from other perspectives. i like it literature and in video games and in art. i like when a story challenges my concept of self and tells me: forget everything. this is a story about you (disambiguation)

[philliamwrites]

How u doing love?? Hope everything is going well for you & your midterms??

Hello sweet heart!!! We got a whole week of home Office just to study and it's the first day and it's going well!!

I dipped my lil toe into watching anime again (A Sign of Love) so it's only a matter of time when i finally watch the last 2 chapters or AoT and then i'm gonna be so so so annoying!!!

Thank you love!! ❤️

[philliamwrites]

HIIII!! I AM SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, I JUST WANTED TO ASK WHEN YOU THINK WILL GET MORE ABOUT OUR FLOWER BOY AND FAV SUICIDAL MANIAC??

ALSOO, HOPED YOU HAD GREAT HOLIDAYS AND THAT YOU GOT TO SPEND IT WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE <3

I'LL WRITE MORE ONCE PEOPLE START PAYING ME ENOUGH TO BECOME A STAY HOME WIFE BCS I AM MARRIED TO BOTH OF THEM

All jokes aside, I am working on chpt. 8!!! I got midterm in February, so I definitley want to post the next chapter before all that craziness starts

Thank you so much, I hope your holidays were also great!!! ❤️💫
