OK, I know I am gonna sound completely entitled, but how reliable is the author, for finishing the story, I mean. I got burnt by a great story, that hasn't updated since 2008, still bitter about it.
Hi, the author here. I understand your concern-there's just so much unfinished fic out there! It makes WIPs a sad affair for all of us who write them, because we spend ages on them having a very small audience to cheer us along, on account on everyone else staying away, waiting for the fic to be completed.
For what it is worth, when I started the story I promised that I'd update every week. Twenty-one weeks later I have kept that promise. I took a break only once when I skipped just one week, but I made sure I mentioned it in adavnce. I should probably mention that once or twice I have also posted two chapters in one week.

And relatively happy Sam, despite the background Dean angst, which is nice to see.
