Heir of Dragons.

Huh. Okay, in a surreal turn of chance, I am literally planning and worldbuilding this book right now. This is the fantamance project I'm working on.

Its gonna have a different title, though. Probably.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

2nd and last wip of this comic im working on. you wont see anything new about it until its done. (i plan to finish it before this september)

all i can assure is it doesn't contain any underage sex or kiss or anything romantic. adult content is popular in fandoms but i usually dont make popular things.

don't imagine pedo things on me thank you so much 🙏

Ok, but can we maybe not make villains out of people who don't enjoy WIPs?

We all (hopefully) agree that it's an asshole behaviour when readers complain about frequency of updates or such. When you complain about how people decide to read fanfiction you really don't have the moral high ground you think you do.

Anyway, the reason I am interacting with this post is not to be contrary and bittter.

I want to genuinely request that we brainstorm for advice for how people who don't read WIPs can show their support and love for authors of WIPs.

Yes, I read only completed works. This is how I anjoy reading and it's not up for discussion. However, that doesn't mean I expect completed works to just fall from the sky. That doesn't mean I don't respect and admire the effort of the author who posts their work one chapter at a time. That doesn't mean I am not excited for WIPs happening.

I want to interact and cheer you on. Tell me how.

What I do so far is:

1. Just comment on everything I like with genuine compliments. I find it hard to believe that an author who is currently posting a WIP won't be motivated by a comment praising their work just because it was posted on an old fic and not the current one.

2. Whenever I can, I try to check if an author whose story I have just finished reading has a WIP and try to explicitly mention it in the comment on the completed work. Something along the lines that I am marking it for later, and I am super happy they keep writing.

The only problem is that this way I can only reach WIP authors who already have completed works, not the new ones who probably need extra encouragement.

Any ideas?

On a related topic, I've noticed that just mentioning that I don't read WIPs often angers writers. I can't take the advice to just keep it to myself altogether seriously, because there's no reason why I should. But maybe you can help me understand when this is unpleasant to hear and why? I don't promise to follow all advice but I will take it to heart.

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.

WIP Wednesday! - BuckTommy 5+1 - Part 6b

"Just a short little +1 to wrap up my 5+1 story" I say as I type up another 1000 words of the final part without finishing it.

5 times the 118 worries about telling Buck that Tommy got married and 1 time they realize they didn't have to.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 +1 a

1b - Maddie

Buck couches down next to Chimney, eye level with Jee, and in his most serious voice admits to her, “Jee, I did get a puppy.  Her name is Quinn.  Would you like to meet her?”

Jee, to her credit, looks up at Maddie for permission before she turns back to Buck and nods enthusiastically.

He scoops her up under the arms and picks her up again to carry her out the back doors.  She starts talking a mile a minute, asking questions about the dog while Maddie and Chimney follow at a more sedate pace with Robert still in his car seat.

Maddie takes time to take in the main floor of the house as they pass through it. The kitchen is neat, without much in the way of food or supplies lying out.

What catches Maddie off guard is that all of the doors are closed.  With the loft, everything was open without any privacy.  Despite the open concept kitchen and living room, the house seems a little more closed off than the loft, or even Eddie’s place would have been.

Buck has left the patio doors open; large, sliding glass doors that span the whole wall. The open onto an expansive backyard that has a concrete wall at the far end and greenery that gives privacy from the neighbours. 

The backyard is definitely set up for a party. There are tables scattered about the yard, and a raised wooden dance floor set up in the middle. There’s an outdoor kitchen area close to the house, with a bar space set up.  To one side, there’s a fire pit and chairs, to the other is a small grassy area with a large dog pen set up where Jee sits squealing as a small beagle puppy tries to climb into her lap and lick her face.

Jee is nearly beside herself with joy, and Buck sits beside her, knees hugged to his chest, basking in it.  Maddie can’t remember the last time she’s seen him this happy.

The puppy spots the newcomers, and lets out a few  more yips.  Buck stands up, and motions for them to join him.  “You guys are a little earlier than I expected.  Do you mind watching Quinn with Jee while I get changed and make sure everything is ready to go?”

Chimney nods, and Maddie can tell he’s calculating what kind of mental manouvering he’s going to have to do with Jee to convince her they can’t get a dog.  She is already head over heels with this puppy.

Robert starts to wake up, face scrunching, and arms stretching out adorably. 

“Do you mind if I come inside with you?” Maddie asks.  “Just let me know where I can set up to change Robert, and then I’ll get out of your hair.”

Buck seems a little put off buy the suggestion, like he didn’t want her back in the house, but he says, “Sure!  Follow me – I can show you the guest room we have set up for Jee.  That can be yours for tonight if Robert needs a quite place, or you need to get a little quite time yourself.”

Maddie nods gratefully and follows him inside.  Buck leads her one of the closed doors on the main floor, and cracks it open for her.  It’s a small room with a single bed and a small pack and play set up.  There’s a small glider set up in one corner, and a small kids table and book shelf set up in another.  The room is packed, but Maddie catches that the bookshelf is full of Jee’s favourites. 

“Buck,” Maddie tries to say, eyes welling up with tears.  “You put this room together for the kids?”

Buck offers her a shy smile, like he was embarrassed to be caught out.  “Well, yeah.  I know you guys are still finding your own routine, but I wanted you to be comfortable coming to visit, especially if you wanted to get out of your house for a break.”

The tears start coming in earnest, and Buck takes a step back.  “No. I’m sorry Maddie.  I didn’t mean to over step.”

Maddie shook her head vehemently, and tried to scrub the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.  “It’s the damn hormones. Buck, it means so much to me that you would do this.  I’ve been so worried that you’ve been pulling away from all of us, but I know you needed the space out of the shadow of the 118.  And you’ve clearly been flourishing with these changes.  I just wasn’t sure you wanted to make room for us in this new life.”

“Awe Maddie, no,” Buck sighed, puling Maddie in for a hug.  “I’m always going to need my big sister, and you, Chim and the kids are always going to be my family.  I just needed some space to figure out who I was when I wasn’t Buck from the 118.”

Maddie pulls back from the hug, and looks up at Buck.  “And did you figure it out.”

He smiled back at her. “Yeah. I think I did.”

The moment was ended by the sound of something crashing on the floor above.

“Is someone else here?” Maddie asked, and she would have pressed further but Robert decided test out his lungs and voice his displeasure of at being left in the car seat.

Buck shook his head. “Must be some boxes upstairs falling over. I haven’t had the chance to unpack everything just yet.  You settle Robert.  I’ll check out what it was and meet you back outside.”

Buck left, closing the door as he did, and Maddie went to work undoing the buckles on Robert’s seat.  She pulled him out and held him close to her chest while she took in the room Buck had set up for her kids.  It was even painted her favourite colour, with a border of unicorns around the ceiling.  She breathed in the smell of Robert’s hair and felt more settled that she had in months.
