Finis
Well I think the time has come to finish this. I'd like to thank everyone for their comments both pro and con. It's been enlightening.
Someone sent this suggestion to me in an e-mail: "but if you've got a good relationship with LC, and she's confirmed for you that she's not going to finish this, why don't you ask her permission to stage a "Finish HB" contest. It's a classic, so I'm sure that several writers would take a crack at it--I probably would. Feel like asking?"
Little did that writer know about the state of affairs between Ladycat and myself but it's an interesting idea, maybe not for "HB", but for other WIPs whose authors feel they cannot finish their fic for whatever reason. I can't recall it having been done but maybe now that the suggestion has been made it can be discussed...somewhere else.
I'm debating whether I will still rec "Hunt Brother" when people ask for a h/c or a hyena!Xander fic. I cannot, in all fairness, not warn new readers that it will probably not be finished and even with the *sob* removed someone might take issue with that. I'm sure, since it has many fans, others will do it with or without a warning.
This has certainly distracted me from my reviews. I have one that I hope to post later.
