Is this the first time you've read an online novel? I'm not going to say anything about myself because I feel very guilty after reading your comment, but finishing a novel, especially one online is a very long and tiring journey both for author and reader. I've followed online novels before and suffering through half-year updates and then realizing that it was just not going to ever see its end. I'll admit, I've abandoned more than one story. That's why I call this a fanfic, except it's not. A fanfic will probably die when you realize you lost your enthusiasm for a celebrity. This is a ode to a whole genre of novels. It's not an easy fandom to get over and I might never get over it, except there's more important things in my life right now like school and work. I've drafted so much of this story out already, but I have not posted it yet. Like you suggested, keep it a diary. I cannot erase what's already posted, but I get what you mean. Thanks for your devotion to my story even though I'm such a horrible writer for putting you and all my lovely readers through such a long haitus. Maybe some day, when nobody expects it, I will publish this story as a complete novel and give it the back cover it deserves.
