Skirk, did you become a positive light in this world ?

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.

I'm honored to have drawn the cover for the D.Gray-man Iconic Moments Zine this year!

Originally @ennael's backcover was supposed to be the cover, but while they were getting my doodles adjusted, the topic of the cover came and in that conversation found out that there were no volunteers for it, so they drew one themselves. I had previously debated in volunteering but chickened out lol so i confessed that and Ennael convinced me to draw the cover xD As a result they suggested in making an illustration mirroring theirs and this was the final result!

Since we had a younger Allen on the backcover, I elected for current Allen to be in the cover instead (I really love his uniform). The ruins were a challenge to make sure the feel of depth could be conveyed, I never really drew backgrounds like this outside of some traditional acrylic paintings before. The red seemed thematically better compared to the pink of the anime, since Hoshino has drawn Allen in reds a lot as well.

Additionally, on the water below the title, you can see Ennael's illustration being reflected! It was almost like fate how well it fits there!

If you're a D.Gray-man fan, please don't hesitate to check out the zine, there's plenty of talented artists who participated!

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?
