It was intense, wasn’t it? I’m very happy you enjoyed it, my dear! Please make sure you send the author all the love and appreciation they deserve!
For the ones who haven’t read it, it’s this one.

The uncut version of The Phone Call is here and I am frankly embarrassed that the original 1763 word count ballooned to 7398 words. (/ω＼) Because of this, we have decided to again increase the Haystack’s word count to 10,000 words. You see, my primary reason for limiting the Haystack’s word count in the first place was really the fact that I wasn’t sure if the scripting we use could handle so many words! These past few months certainly proved that it could handle a lot. Heck, if we receive a submission that has more than 10K and it works out well, we may even forego the limit all together. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
Grazie for reading and I hope all you Jacob fans enjoy this. ♥

We’re very happy that you loved it! Please do send your love and appreciation to @ellestrix because she was the one who wrote it. ♥
And now, if you would excuse me… I’m going to imagine Jacob’s Pene in an adventure of its own
(Special thanks to Rosa because she found a treasure trove of pene gifs~)

Confession [x]
Inspired by these confessions. I claim responsibility for this as I requested @ellestrix for a Haystack entry about… “Little” Jacob’s shenanigans.
ಥ ͜ʖ ಥ I am utterly blown away by this drabble. Molte grazie, @ellestrix! ♥ If I had the skills I would make a full-blown manga of it, in the style of Chintsubu/Chinko no Tsubayaki (the manga that inspired this madness). I would pay good money to read more about the adventures of An Assassin and His Talking Pene. /o/

I just found the secluded haystacks website. *sigh* Why is the Assassin’s Creed community so damn amazing?

To celebrate the Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day on August 21st, and following this post, here’s what you can do to show your favorite fanfiction writers how grateful you are for their work!
Whether you are just a reader or a writer as well, on August 21st:
- Go on AO3, FF.net, Wattpad or any other fanfiction website, even Tumblr, and leave comments on your favorite fics. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already reviewed them, just do it again. It doesn’t even have to be a long comment, just show your appreciation. Tell the writers how much you love their fics. Let them know what they mean to you.
- Since you’re there, give kudos, favorite their fics, vote, like them.
- Send your favorite writers an encouraging message. Tell them how much you love their work. Tell them which of their fics is your favorite and why. Tell them why they’re important to you.
- Make a post recommending some of your favorite fics to your followers so that they have a chance to read them as well and share them with others. Spread the word.
Make this a very special day for your favorite writers, but remember to nurture them often. They spend countless hours working on plots, developing characters and creating worlds that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them. And they do it for free, of their own accord and frequently during their free time. It takes hard work and commitment and love for what they’re doing. And they do it for them just as much as they do it for you, so appreciate it.
They give you infinite ways in which your favorite characters find love, go on adventures and get to experience different lives, new challenges. They give you unimaginable versions of your favorite stories that you’ll just never get to see in the official storyline. They give you the opportunity to fall in love with your favorite characters all over again. Be grateful for that and don’t be afraid to express it.
Show your favorite writers how much you appreciate them and you might just make their day. And a writer who knows that their work is loved is a happy writer. Never forget that. Always share your love 🙂
