How *not* to ask for an update.

[icarus]

Asking for updates is fine. Even when I don't have time, it will often jog my mind about a story, and I'm flattered people want to hear more.

I finished Primer To The Dark Arts, the Beg Me For It series, The Walls of Jericho is complete and in beta review as we speak. My track record of finishing WIPs is solid. I have one WIP that I'm not going to finish, and that's A Deserving Man. It was written for someone who's just not interested in more.

But this, as requests go...

hey...

the first chapters were quite interesting but i lost it when i realized
that the story is not yet done...sorry...

can u like finish it coz it really frustrates me to read a well-written
fic without an ending...

so pls finish it already...

My first response is: No.

Somebody actually wrote that to you?
That's awfully presumptuous of them. O_O

It's not the first, but it is a fair example of some of the worst. This isn't even my first post about this strange phenomenon.
