Thereās a fic on fanfiction(.)net that Iāve kept tabs on for years to see if itās been updated or not. While Iām no longer even in the fandom itās written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines Iāve 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 āupdate soon!!!ā, 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.
Iām literally sobbing. Iām so excited :ā)
Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.
