What are some of your favorite stories that have been discontinued and left hanging forever?
I was just thinking of this one story called "Saving Grace" that I found the summer I started reading fanfic, in 99, and I thought it was so good, but it never got updated past where it was when I found it. The website it was on went down quite a few years ago, so I don't even have any of it anymore.
Another one is "Ants Go Marching" by Brenna... awesome AJ suspense which she just left hanging... ahh!!!
Also "Nothing is Chance" by Auctor... it was almost finished, it seemed like, but it hasn't been updated in like 4 years now...
"If You Knew What I Knew," the sequel to "Nowhere to Run" by Whitney... I think you can get that story through Bauhaus Classics again, but it was never finished and never will be now.
A lot of the stories by my friend Susan, which are hosted on my site... namely "Overconfidence." I'm not sure those are discontinued FOREVER because she's still around and always says she wants to finish them, but it's been years.
That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are more.

I haven't been reading fanfic for long enough to see any fanfics get discontinued, thankfully. I would hate for any of the stories I'm reading to be left hanging forever! I think I'll hate it when BMS is done  . |

I think I'll hate it when BMS is done . Aww... LOL I don't know what I'll do with myself either! I've been writing this series (Broken/BMS) for FOUR YEARS now! And I really haven't written much else in the meantime, besides a little Code Blue. So when I finish BMS, it'll be so weird to not have that to work on and think about anymore. I'm gonna definitely start a new story, and I'm excited about that, but it will definitely be weird. |

Yeah, how many chapters (more or less) are left anyway? (I hope many!  ) BTW, you've reached the big 700  . |

At this point, I'm shooting for a nice even 200 chapters (total, not left to go LOL). I always said I was gonna be in the 150-200 range, but that I would never be able to get up to 200... but as usual, I underestimate how freaking long it takes me to write what I want to write, so now I think that 200 mark is a reasonable goal, and I can stretch it out or condense to make sure I stop on 200 (with an epilogue). That would make me happy, cause then all my parts will be even the way I like them LOL.
So I guess we're talking 30+ more chapters then... I can't see it being any MORE than that. And I think I'm definitely going to finish the story this year... unless I just have NO time to write this semester with student teaching, but I think I'll manage to make some time, at least on weekends.

Hehe, I like even stuff too. Well, at least there's a few chapters left. At least it won't be done right away *sighs with relief*.  Yahoo, 20 posts to go! |

Well 30+ chapters left as you say... Then it means we can still read BMS for the rest of the year!!! That's a relief!  I just don't want it to end but i also want to read a new story from you, that might be pretty challenging for you to just strip yourself away from Nick and Claire and develop totally new characters and situations.  |

Well, there's this series "If Tears Were Pennies (I'd be a Rich Man)", about AJ, and it's just such a beautiful romance, so well written! It was porbably the only story (other than Broken) that ever made me cry so much my head was hurting. Just amazing, really! And it was supposed to be a trilogy, but the author (Mette), started to write slash and never finished. =(

^^ I agree, "If Tears Were Pennies" is one that I love but never finished. The Ta'oth Trilogy was discontinued and now the website is gone. Hmm I know I have more but I can't seem to remember... there are too many lol |

Ta'oth Trilogy is Bobbi, right? Supposedly, Bauhaus Classics is gonna put her stuff up... but they haven't really updated in like a year, so I dunno what happened with that.
I have Signal to Noise preserved, but nothing else of hers.
