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 am Tarneem Sami, a mother of three children from the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in Gaza. We lived a simple life, where my husband Ahmed worked hard to provide us with a peaceful and stable life. But the war turned everything upside down. One day, while Ahmed was trying to secure some food for us, he was martyred in an airstrike that hit our area. I lost my husband and the safety he provided for us.
After our home was destroyed by bombing, we had no choice but to flee. I carried my young children and we ran away from the death surrounding us. We first went to Rafah, hoping to find shelter away from the devastation. But there was no safety there either, as the bombs kept falling. Over time, the situation worsened, and I decided to move once again, this time to Deir al-Balah
Today, I live with my children in a small tent. We have no shelter to protect us from the cold or the heat. We are facing severe shortages of food and medicine, and my children suffer from hunger and pain. Every day, I wonder if we can endure any longer. Sometimes, tears fall from my eyes as I think about the future, but I still hold on to hope
At night, when my children are asleep, I think of my husband who is no longer with us, and I dream of the day when we can return to our former life, with a home and safety. I tell my children stories of better days and reassure them that this difficult time will end, and that we will stay strong. Despite everything we’ve been through, I have not lost hope. I believe that relief is near, and that one day we will return to the life that their childhood deserves.

the perfect gif combo
Watching “Transformers: Animated” again for the first time in years and I seriously CANNOT BREATHE whenever Megatron is on screen.
TFP Megatron is a crackhead theatre-nerd who still isn’t over the breakup, Bayverse Megatron is a screeching temper-tantrum of melodramatic exposition, and I’m still working on my opinion of WFC:S Megatron...
But for God’s sake, fucking TFA Megs had the AUDACITY to twist his oil barrels into CHALICES?!
And “my special blend”, “my special blend”?!
You’re telling me that this classy asshole goes out of his way in the middle of a war to not only bend all of the oil barrels in the surrounding area into chalices but also fills them up with a special brand of oil that he personally customized to his taste... while living in a cave on Earth?!
That implies that the leader of the Decepticons either has Earth-based connections and sources to get him the necessary materials for his “special blend” or sneaks off to steal them.
Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, might sneak out of the base to go and steal stuff so that he can make sure his oil is Just Right™️ when he puts it in his twisted barrel chalices.
That sure explains the Hell out of Lugnut and Blitzwing’s confusion as to where their leader is when they’re stealing construction supplies.
He’s either down by the docks bribing terrified workers with Isaac Sumdac’s credit cards or commiting Grand Theft Exxon.
And since Professor Sumdac is always at the Decepticon base, he and Megatron must have a little deal going where Sumdac just doesn’t mention any of this to Lugnut and Blitzwing.
I mean, there are probably some threats involved, but there’s also probably that underlying bit of “By the Allspark, they would lose all remaining respect for me if they knew all the lengths I go to for this oil. The chalices are already pushing it—but I must have them!”.
“For the drama!”
... How did I forget this stuff?! 😂

Hi, I'm IntroVerse (sorry but I can't say my real name).
I red your message and I'm so sorry for what is happening there in G@za. I've already knew the news and I'm been praying for safety and rescue for the victims.
I tried three times to donate my money, but it continues to fail, so I don't know what to do for you and I'm really sorry. I'll try again hoping that it will work this time. Moreover I'll send my prayers for you and your family 🙏🏾
Thank you very much for your help 🙏

Urgent help
I am Ola Ferwana from Palestine ,Gaza. I'm a mother of 3 kids Yamen, Qusai and Mira. My husband travelled to Egypt to get medicines before 2 days of the war 7 of October on Gaza and he was stuck in Egypt until this moment.
I faced very great challenges and responsibilities of my three children in the absence of my husband, as he had traveled and the crossing was closed and we could not see each other. The amount of suffering I was feeling cannot be described as still being in the north of Gaza.I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a plea for urgent assistance. I have left my home and have been displaced more than 8 times with my children. I am living in the war_torn region of Gaza, facing unimaginable challenges, with lack of water, food scarcity, and constant threats to their safety.
This is our street of my house, the Israeli occupation damaged all the houses.
I have delivered a girl baby,Mira , through the war, She was 10 months old and my husband didn't see her until this moment.
Yaman was 7 years old, and his simplest dream was to complete the first grade at school, but his school was completely destroyed. He lost the most beautiful thing that he was happy with and enjoyed that he had reached this stage.
Qusai is 5 years old, and until this moment I do not have the courage to tell him that his kindergarten was also destroyed, the first place and refuge in which he was happy, but in this war he lost everything beautiful. He lost his father’s hug, which was his only refuge when he slept at night, telling him his daily story to fall asleep safety.
Mira, my daughter, who had never seen an hour or a moment devoid of fear, came into this world and was surprised by a war that destroyed many, many things. It destroyed her house and her room, which I was waiting for as I prepared and brought her all the beautiful clothes and colorful dresses she needed. She was surprised by the sound of missiles. She could not sleep because of it. My husband hopes to get a smile and a hug from her daughter Which he had been waiting for some time.
We lack of the basic human needs, no food no electricity no water. We were poisoned and infected because of the unhealthy water that we drink.
My three children and I had to be hospitalized. We suffered from liver dysfunction as a result of malnutrition, widespread diseases, and recurring infection.
During this period, I felt remorseful about how difficult it is for a mother to see her children sick and unable to treat them because she is also very sick.
The Rafah border crossing, which is the only way to escape from the war, is closed now.
I hope to provide us by giving support in order to cover the costs associated with ensuring our safe passage of Egypt through the borders. Please stand with me, we are now homeless, with absence of children needs like milk, diapers, with no food. Please help us by donation to stay a live and leave Gaza with my children. Share this link as you can as possible .

If it is opened, I can't go to Egypt as I don't have the money because my husband is the sole breadwinner for my family.
Thank you for your kindness, empathy and generosity during this challenging time.With sincere thanks and warm regards,
