Is this a good idea? · 1:36am Apr 16th, 2020
So, I've had this concept reflecting around in my head for a while, though I'm not sure if it would bring an amusing bit of closure to people or just come off as a tad mean-spirited. Basically, I've been thinking of planning a sort of mass eulogy for the best fanfics posted to the site that never got finished, either by myself or with help from other interested parties (probably the latter, if I can gather interest). Because, well, there are a bunch of excellent works that authors just couldn't bring themselves to complete for one reason or another. We could come together, probably after the current crisis is over, and move forward by wistfully looking on at what might have been, theorycraft endings and sing the praises of what's on the page. Obviously we'd have to make sure the writers involved, assuming they even still frequent the site, won't be offended or take a blow to their self-esteem if we call them out, and that it's all meant to be in good fun. Who knows, seeing more people express interest might rekindle the spark of passion for somebody to keep writing, especially since our fandom has been slowly dwindling now that the show's ended. I know most of you reading this are lurkers, but I really am on the fence here, so your opinion would be appreciated.
Hoo boy. Definitely get the author's okay before doing any given work, because this could easily be taken in a poor light. It could probably work quite well if done properly.
I'm afraid I don't know; sorry.
FanOfMostEverything's comment sounded good to me, though?
That'd be cool. I agree with FoME

Yeah, makes sense. I'll see if Majin or somebody will help me round up folks later, maybe.

Hey, if the RCL can track down the guy who wrote Cupcakes, I'm sure it won't be too bad finding whoever you need to (or their next of kin, in cases of actual death).
