There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Hiii

I wrote a Pieck x Moblit fanfic inspired by you. Haha.

It's dedicated for you. Just a short something.

Oh my goodness, Oh My Ymir.

I opened the email notification, thought I was still half-asleep, rubbed my eyes, then opened it again, read it, then read it again.

@lady-kalila how I giggled and kicked my feet like a complete idiot. This is EVERYTHING. I may have written that tiny bit of those two from the depths of my insane daydreaming mind, but you have made it all the more better. Now excuse me while I stupidly keep thinking of this while I go about my work day. What's that you say Boss? I need to stop smiling to myself at my desk because I'm starting to creep my team mates out? Oh leave me alone, will you!

Thank you for this 🤩🥹💐💖🔥🥰

(p.s. what should we call them?? Mobieck? Piecklit?? 🫣😂)

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”

I think one of the worst things for a cat to be is mysteriously wet.

Whew! Can't believe it's been two whole years since that thing that happened didn't happen 🙂
