"Why won't you write a SEQUEL?"
Nov. 17th, 2004 07:29 amThis post is intended for the eyes of those who read my stories, read my comic, and who demand to know why I haven't posted a sequel/new part/new story. (Those of you who could care less may feel free to skip this one.)
Lately, I've been getting messages from readers who either beg me to write a sequel or who think I could write a sequel or write more but just am not bothering. Now while this is a vast improvement over the abusive reviewers who attacked me for not posting a new part/story/comic and accused me of withholding more to spite them... it still indicates a lack of understanding among my readers. There's still a misconception that putting out a new comic/story/chapter is a simple matter and I'm just not bothering for whatever reason. The lack of updates is not by choice. I can't just sit down and whip up a sequel. Begging me to do so will not help either of us.
So I'm going to set the record straight.
(Note: This was updated on 9/22/05, in deference to yet ANOTHER insane thing I did with my life.)
General reasons there are no new updates:
( Hey, I seem to have developed a life. Who knew? )
...so there's not a lot of energy left to write with. :)
Why specific stories/projects aren't updating:
( Bloodlines (New Blood, et al) )
( Special Case )
( Sharp Edges )
( The Key and the Sword )
( Nothing to See Here )
*thud* So. You see why messages begging me to update are kind of fruitless?
Edit: To the kind and supportive reviewers who understand the situation and have left me some awesome reviews - this is not directed at you. Your support is the REASON most of these projects stayed on the backburner as long as they did and why I still intend to follow up someday. I just felt that I owed all of my readers, from the clueless screamers to the understanding and supportive readers, an explanation of what's happened to current projects and that I have NOT just decided not to continue them on a whim. :)
