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.

*hugs you* am reading your posts (though obviously not able to comment). You're in my thought...

The funny thing about these reviews is that most writers think "oh, reviews!" when they see one incoming. When it contains, oh, a death threat, it brings you up short.

Thank you. Mom's having a rough time, which is sort of to be expected in her situation.
