people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago
Bringing this out of the tags:
A fic written 2 years ago is NOT OLD. Two years is nothing. Two years ago was yesterday.
Also I don’t care if a fic is 10 years old. Leave those comments!! Even if you think the author isn’t active, or moved on from the fandom, I promise you it will make them smile.
Hello, my name is Nadin. I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate, a wife—and now, a mother.
I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small studio, of creating art that told stories. I used to think about colors and fonts and the future.
Then, the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.
On October 22, 2023, I learned I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home, killing 25 members—his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews—entire branches of our family in seconds.
We were displaced twice. Everything was gone—home, safety, routine, rest.
A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib, no celebration—not even stillness. But she arrived, quietly and beautifully. In her eyes I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.
Now, our days are shaped by decisions that could dismantle the future we are trying to build together.
Today, Israel’s government is discussing plans for a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and southern regions. The stated aim: to eliminate Hamas and later hand governing control to allied Arab forces—not Israel—but with no clear path to peace or normalcy.
The humanitarian fallout is devastating. More than 61,000 Palestinians have died in this war; hunger and malnutrition are rising sharply. Hospitals in north Gaza have shut down, and 193 people have now died of starvation, nearly half of them children.
Aid remains blocked, water is scarce, and many risk dying of hunger or disease long before future promises arrive.
We Don’t Know What Comes Next There’s no clear path forward—only uncertainty for our daughter’s life and our ability to survive another day.
I need prayers and a lot of them hence putting this very personal note up here on this site.
My 4month old kitten escaped out today. She is missing for 7hrs now and I have searched all around for 7 straight hours.
I don’t even know how I feel right now, vacant and empty. 15 years ago, when my male pet suddenly got injured and left home never to return, it took me years to get over it. I got my little one just 3 months ago, adopted after her mum abandoned her.
I wanted to do everything right to keep her safe and cared for. And now one moment of miscalculation and…
Prayers have power- please please pray for my little baby to come back home safe. 🙏🙏🙏
We found my baby!!! 🥹 She is a little shaken up but otherwise healthy. Thank you all for your prayers 🩷🩷🩷

This is not an easy post to make. But I did not want to dissappear without a notice and keep all of you waiting.
I’m taking a break from writing for a while until my life and mental health get some sort of sanity.
For various reasons, my work and home- front has drained every last strain of energy. And I have been struggling to find an ounce of motivation to get back to my fics. It could be burn-out or a relapse, I don’t know. I don’t know if it’ll take me weeks or months to find the will to write and share. All I know is, I would love to come back and finish my works.
If you are reading any of my WIPs, I’m sorry. I know this sucks, but thanks for always being the force behind all my stories. Your reviews and comments and love have always been the hook that kept me in this Fandom, kept me writing for a decade now.
I really hope to get back soon.
Love

Almost 2 months, and I am happy to say I am doing better.
A lot of it has to do with my little bundle of joy 🐈 I brought home at the end of August. Her mom abandoned her on the streets when she was barely a month and she just padded her way into our lives and in my heart…
She is 3 months now and loves zoomies and cuddles.
I have also been finally able to finish the next chapter of Hidden in the Shadows… for all of you reading it - thank you for waiting, hope you enjoy this update. ❤️
To all the fanfic authors out there - thank you for your work from the bottom of my heart.
For the past few weeks, AO3 is the only thing keeping me sane and going, between insane workload and through stressful home-front, through sleepless nights and lonely mornings - it’s the fics that are holding me together.
I couldn’t be more thankful that we collectively decided to obsess over fictional characters and kept providing stories and sending them across.
