Ammie Hawk (ff.net screen name), I have read some of your stories and am appalled that you neither have updated them nor do you allow anonymous reviewers like myself.
"Duo's Family" and other stories have been lying dormant/on hiatus for about a year now and we, the reader/reviewers, are anxious for updates. We would like to read what happens next.
The same goes to a great number of the rest of you fanfiction authors on FF.net. *sighs*..
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?! SCHOOL? sweatdrop yeah I guess some of you are.. -_- but that is no excuse really.
I have heard it before as well as: "My computer died", "I lost interest", "Real life took over".. well.. Real life _DOES_ take precedence over online life every time.. granted.. Still... If you do have stories on _ANY_ site it would be for the best to update them as soon as possible so that your reader/reviewers, loyal or not, may read and review them when they may.
Here are another few example of excuses I have 'heard' over the years:
"The anime/manga did not end the way I thought it would I quit writing about it", "The movies sucked so..." Ugh... In that case.. WRITE ABOUT OR FROM THE BOOK VERSIONS, if possible.
Heavens above, people, these are _FAN FICTIONS_.. _YOU_ write what happens in them.. You may receive help from us, your betas, and perhaps the original Authors and creators, but... Ultimately... The Stories are yours.
^^;; Please give credit where credit is due though.
Thank you for your time, your patience, and for putting up with this old reader reviewer with over 15 years of experience in said field. smile
*bows* Arigato
Ja ne ^_^
