being the family encyclopedia is a weird experience because most of the things I spout out is either things I looked up because I was bored and retained that information because it seemed interesting enough to know.
on the other hand I can barely remember street signs or how to get home that one time because i took a wrong turn and had to use google maps despite already going down that road before. like why is my brain like this?
Look, if I introduced a WIP on here excitedly and then promptly never mentioned it again, it doesn’t mean I’m not working on it, it means I’m slowly rotating it in my mind like a rotisserie chicken and then went out to the grocery store to buy several other rotisserie chickens while I wait for it to cook and then slowly started rotating those rotisserie chickens and repeat
for real, if you see a fic that seems abandoned but you really want to see if it might be completed
i would genuinely suggest not mentioning the fact its abandoned at all. instead, just leave the most effusive comment you can. tell the author specifically what you liked. if they are in a position they might continue it, you might remind them what they liked about the story, and thus maybe revive it.
that is probably your best bet to get a story finished, much more than asking “hey is this abandoned” or asking for it to be continued.
I have been on tumblr for so long that I realized I don’t really interact a lot. I mostly reblog and I’ll occasionally tag shit if I feel like it. so to my three followers that follow me for my nonsense, I may do more interactions and hope for the best.
