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.

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

Snippet of Chapter 30: Choice

Excerpt from chapter 30 of Maple Cookies and Leather Bound Books. Out now! Read here

He sat on the ledge over looking Velaris. He sat on the mountain high above the house of wind. The training ring below him. He’d taken more of his anger out there after sending a message off to Mor. He hoped she would show, but regardless, he had no idea what he was going to do about Eris. Feyre had tried reaching him, but he’d been blocking her out. He needed time to think. Azriel knew she likely wanted to talk to him about Rhysand and what had happened. He appreciated her friendship, but he needed space to think. And all he could think of now was Eris.

His mate.

He was still trying to wrap his mind around it. They were mates. He had a mate. His mate was male. He was Eris. The words he’d whispered to Eris just the night before came back to him. How he wouldn’t care, that he’d love and cherish his mate no matter what. He had meant it. He still wanted to. Azriel wanted to love and cherish Eris. But when the moment came, he’d fucked it up. He’d let his anger and hurt take over his tongue.

If Eris took him back, where would they go from there? Did any of it matter if Eris wasn’t with him? Could Eris forgive him? Could he forgive Eris?

“Azriel?”

He turned to greet Morrigan. She walked up to where he sat. His note hadn’t said much, but it was clear she knew this was no ordinary conversation. 

“Mor,” Azriel looked back over the city. She sat next to him and waited. He could feel the worry coming off her. “Tell me, what happened between you and Eris. The truth. I… I need to hear it.”
