Here at Sponsor A Story we believe every wip deserves attention, however some need a little extra help to reach their full potential. So we ask you to put your name to one of our clutch and show the author your support. You'll receive weekly updates on your sponsored wip with the possibility of sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes info.
So without further ado let's meet our registered wips waiting in the wings.
The Real Deal 2
The pedigree of this fic is very good so we expect it to be popular. However setting high standards can be challenging for offspring so it may need some coaxing.
Sitcom
A young fic with a lot of potential but currently struggling to find its focus. Patience and understanding are necessary to shape this into a proper adult.
Ghosts
Perhaps an overlooked fic but bringing a lot of personality. Its suffered shyness but gentle assurances will serve to bring it back out of its shell.
Sex Slave
A niche breed that may require a sympathetic sponsor with experience with the traits. It will likely require careful handling to guide it through certain anxiety issues.
Merry Little Batman
A practically unknown breed, consequently burdened with little resognised health problems. Considered study should find solutions for the hurdles.
On Stream
An exotic fic with trust issues that will need soft steps to help blossom. Reassurance will go a long way to building this one's confidence.
Stepping Up
This breed is very familiar and the handling is standard. Its a routine operation to care for but that would be no excuse for complacency.
Gotham Gazette
This fic has very specific demands which requires extra effort. Visiting the birthplace is a taxing undertaking but necessary for a succesful rehabilitation.
P.I. Riddler
Handed in by a previous owner and has struggled to adjust to its new situation. Settled now and just needing love and T.L.C to flourish.
Cherchez la femme
A fancy breed which has been popular although there is not a lot of information available. An interesting work to discover how to handle.
Gay Attorney
An unusual specimen with a mixed heritage which raises unique challenges. Balancing the needs of each side will require focused care.
Under the Desk
A common type with easy to manage conditions. The kind that might get overlooked for being average but still has much to offer.
What is Reality?
An older fic that needs extra care to give the best chance. It has arthritis but physical therapy and patience could engender a real change.
Trans Ed
This fic ended up here after being declared to have behavioural issues. Perhaps it was misunderstood but we believe every idea deserves a second chance.
Multifaceted
One of the largest residents and consequently requiring patience as progress can be slow. So much love and entertainment are possible though and it might even parent a fic or two.
Angel-Demon
A fic with recognisable heritage from other media that will of necessity shape it. Ultimately we hope to see it grow into its own independance.
Leave my heart with you
Troubled with doubts about its purpose, this fic requires slow handling to rebuild confidence. Physically strong but lacking in self-esteem.
The People's Penguin
Something of an oddity. With such a little known pedigree we don't really know what to expect but we support all sorts here.

anyway the thing about fanfic is that it's not essentially bad or good; it's essentially amateur. some people are absolutely out there writing award-worthy prose (some fic writers ARE award-winning writers IRL!), but that's not the point. the point is that we're all telling campfire stories. it's a community, and it's a way to spend some more time in the worlds and stories that we love.

if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are “owed”
It’s an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. I’ve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they can’t ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough
But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of “it’s bad to want validation or attention or engagement”, and to me, that’s not what this means.
It’s perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.
And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.
the words used by OP is decouple, and this is important. Nothing wrong wanting engagement. But it cannot be tightly coupled with the drive to create.

I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldn’t afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.
Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. It’s led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and we’ll help back.
The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. We’re still a million less on this island than pre famine. And it’s not that long ago. My grandmother’s grandparents lived through it. We’ve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but it’s because there’s that cultural memory of not being able to.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. We will not let them take our lives, we will not let them take our language. We lost so much, but we will not lose it all.
This is why I get so angry when people say “it was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.”
Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one “worthless” crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.
