💋 [Freeform - what is something you want to know about one of poster’s fics?]
You gotta read wips. You gotta read stories that have been abandoned or haven't been updated in weeks, months, years. You have to give a story a chance even on the chance it never gets finished. The biggest reason besides personal stuff for a story to get abandoned is the lack of engagement. A comment is sometimes all it needs for a new chapter, even years later. Read that wip from 2017 that never saw the final chapter. Leave a comment that you loved it. Subscribe to the story. Sometimes you need to appreciate the things that never got finished, and perhaps make an author's day that someone loved their story despite that. Comment on wips. Comment on every chapter. It makes a difference.

This is what I was referring to in my previous post by the way!!!!
All of my fics have been scraped :(
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.
I made Mayor Khonsu Abbey from The Town of Anywhere in this Picrew!

Relationships: Original Character(s) & Original Character(s), Beetee Latier & Original Chatacter
Summary: “Maze Donahue always thought she would be lonely forever. No one wanted to be friends with a troublesome orphan with a penchant for pranks. But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.
But no matter what, she won't ever be alone again.”

This is a rewrite and continuation of a fic called “Lonely Girl of 3” that I wrote back in 2014!
The original fic can be found on both AO3 and FFN!
Fandom: Avatar: Legend of Korra
Rating: Teen and Up
No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationship: Korra and Tenzin
Summary: “When trying to sneak a midnight snack, Korra was not expecting to find Tenzin, and she surely was not expecting to hear him swear.”
The world in front of her was so blurry that she couldn't see Beetee's facial expression. “I'm sorry, Maze.”
“I can't do it.” Her voice broke. “I don't want to—I can't—be the Victor!”
There. She said it. The V word, in reference to herself.
Beetee's words softened even more. “I'm so sorry.”
