Vassago probably said it best. Say what you want the same way the writer does what he wants. Sure. People don't make money off fanfiction. It's something writers do for fun. It is perfectly acceptable for someone to just straight up give up on no matter the reason but I do consider it bad taste if said reason is cheap.
The writer doesn't owe the fans anything and vice versa but, at the very least, don't alienate the people that read your stories. It's solely up to the writer to give up. That's cool but all I hope is that he or she is at least reasonable about it. Pulling the equivalent of "no more of this kthankbye" on a a story will make me lose respect for the writer regardless of who he or she is. I mean, if you're going to stop the trip, offer the people that went with you a proper farewell since you're not going to go all the way.
You need farewells from people you don't know?
Listen, I've was born into the "suck it up and deal" school of life. If you don't like his choice. If you feel fucking
alienated by his abrupt way of stopping. Well, good for you. I don't need to hear about it. This thread should have gone.
1st: Hey _______ is gone
2nd: Fuck
3rd: Good Riddance
Maybe some banter on quality of the guy's fics...
DONE
Look, if you
really have a burning desire to go and talk to _______. If you're going to just whine... well curl up in a dark closet and do it there.
0o0o0o0o
And irregardless to how you feel don't
ever feel that the author should write for you.
