TLDT crash and burns!

So the person for whom I was writing The Last Dragon Thief deleted her journal.

Naturally, I feel completely demotivated.

Sorry, guys.

I'm guessing you mean Belinda. If so, I talked to her yesterday before and after she deleted her journal. This is what she said after:
"I’ve been contemplating deleting my LJ for a long time now. It was just time to go ahead and do it. It’s sad, but I truly feel like I don’t belong. *shrugs*

Thank you so much for thinking of me, caring about me and putting up with me. You’re very, very sweet, and I hate leaving the few folks that did want me to hang around."

I think she's been disheartened for a long time, for whatever reason. It is a shame she felt she needed to do this, but I think we've just got to wish her well in her life.

On a more personal note - please, please, please continue writing TLDT. I love it and look forward to seeing new episodes pop up on my friends page. It's far too good to be left... I shall stalk you, I promise!

Yes, Belinda. I thought we were close, but I guess not.

Not sure yet about TLDT. Right now, I think a lot of this anger that I'm feeling over the situation will just continue to get in the way. It'll be with me - she'll be with me - every time I sit down and try writing in it. That's not really what I want.

She really, really hurt my feelings.

Have you tried to talk to her? I can give you her email address if you need it. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you. It was pure luck that I messaged her that morning. It was only because I hadn't heard from her for a couple of weeks that I did, she replied and then suddenly her journal was gone, so I emailed her. I don't think she told anyone what she was going to do.

I understand what you say about it being with you when you sit down to write, but I'm sure that B will still be lurking and reading.

If you can be encouraged or supported to write, just let me know. This is one of the few WsIP that I follow, for the quality of the writing and story. I hope that you can reconsider your decision.

Okay, I know this comment is really, really old, and I don't know if it matters anymore or not, but...

I am going to finish it. But after the new year. It must be done.

I will add my request that you continue as well. I too look forward to new chapters, and have been following it for a while now. It is of course, all yours to finish or not.

I can release what I have written, I guess... But I don't think I can keep working on it. It'll just remind me of what my friend did to me. Until I get over this anger, I don't want to work on it.

I'm very sorry to hear that something happened like this; as much as I enjoy the fic and would like to keep reading it (event though I'm way behind), I hate to see someone get hurt like this.

Good luck. I do understand how you feel about the writing, even though I will miss further progression of the story.

Old comment! I know, I know...!

At least it wasn't the fic that hurt me, and at last I think it has decided to let me finish writing it. I'll try and make a release soon, and maybe find a new home for it away from LJ. Thanks for your encouragement, too; it has helped in the "snowball effect" kind of manner! Even if you're no longer interested, just letting you know that it was a big help to me.

I'm really sorry you've been so hurt and I understand that at the moment the last thing you want to do is continue, but can I beg you to take a break and reconsider because TLDT truly is a wonderful story and you've so obviously put so much hard work into it that it would be a real shame it you discontinued it.

THIS COMMENT ROCKS. And I know it's very old and I'm slow in responding, but it does take me a long time to heal and/or gain some perspective. I really appreciate all the support from you and others I have received over the last year (eek, year!), and it's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've found a resurgence of determination: I will finish the story, even if it takes me another year! I'd like to find another home for it, too, i.e. something away from LJ, but am rather uncertain in those areas. However, I'll try and make a release of the story soon, whenever I figure out where I left off, ha...

Thanks again for everything!
