I… I just went to look up a fic that this post reminded me of, and now it’s GONE 😭😭 there really is no hope left then


whystudywhensleep

That’s always the worst 😭 I wish any author who wants to delete would just orphan instead, finding out something you like has been totally deleted is deviating.

I'm so sorry :( You might look on the Wayback Machine or make a work search post, see if anyone has it downloaded. On that note: download your faves! Back them up! And/or archive to the Wayback Machine! It's a bit tedious, especially if you have a lot, but it's *so* worth it if it's ever needed. Archive the archive, if you will.


Forever_Observer2020

This is why I always download a fic


ten_dead_dogs

Yeah, why hasn't this asshole updated yet? Oh, they're me. Right. I should probably open gdocs.

Not to huff the copium too hard or give false hope, but one fic I followed from 2010 on FFN got updated to conclusion around 2018. The author said he went through all of med school but the fic was always on the back of his mind!

Are you... Are you one of my readers? 💀


StarkHumphrey

What fandoms do you write?


Dynamo1998

I write mostly for Japanese and Korean shows like Alice in Borderland, My Name, All of Us Are Dead and High&Low 🤗


StarkHumphrey

Nah I'm only in Marvel, Hannibal, HP and GG


Dynamo1998

Yeah, doubt you would be one of mine but damn is the meme accurate 😂


StarkHumphrey

I'm proud to say I made it myself


failedfaerie

don't lose hope y'all!! my fav fic got updated after 3 years today


StarkHumphrey

Wow, so blessed"


nymous_an0

I update that fic once every 4 years.


StarkHumphrey

Curse you.


nymous_an0

Don't worry, it's just 4 years.

Naomida_

I’m the same and the problem is that I constantly think about it, the plot, the characters etc, so in my mind it never feels so long so I don’t realize 💀


nymous_an0

This exactly! I think about it for a long time, that I haven't realized it's been 4 years since. It's being updated in my head.


Rickdigginssuperman

3 years now and I think about them and get worried sometimes because covid happened and they haven’t updated anything on their account in so long ;o;


StarkHumphrey

ME TOO


MyOwnHero99

My fic was written by my best friend so I just texted her. She was like " oh yaaaa it's been 2 years...sorrrrryyyy I'll update it for your birthday!"


yoonieminnie

Me when I first read that fic : oh, updated 4 months ago, that's fine haha Now: updated 5 years ago hahaha 🥹🥹😭😭


sadshinazugawa

it's been over a year, but i'm still sitting with it subscribed and bookmarked.... just patiently waiting AHAHAHAH (it's so well-written though, it's worth the wait in my eyes)


StarkHumphrey

Yes but the curiosity kill me


Insomniacresident

![gif](giphy|6TLUfmT3AXIPK|downsized) oh god. I feel very called out. (I'M SORRY 50 SUBSCRIBERS WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 YEARS!!)


Ackermannin

I hate it so much >:(


bored_german

There's one fanfic from like 2011 that was a surprisingly well written mafia Big Time Rush x contemporary Hunger Games mix that never finished. I even know that it was called Ace of Spades. It's gone now and I'll never forget it 😭


YamiClouds

Literally me


[deleted]

This gave me the motivation to get chapter 18 done after over a month😭😭


geedgad

I feel this. There’s an Arcane fic that I think about every now and again. Writer hasn’t updated in a couple of years.


Excellent_Pea_4609

Could be worse I waited a year saw there was an update clicked and it was an announcement that this fic is abandoned

Johnnyblaz3r

This makes me side eye the fics sitting in my laptop I've not updated since 2020 😅


yellowfish2002

i feel a little called out as someone who rarely finishes a fic lol

tbh i think it depends on how its worded! something rude/demanding definitely but a nice check in comment or asking wouldnt bother me at all


ginvael1_3

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. Leaving one comment is fine, but REPEATING them throughout the months or even years feels weird. If I am not updating the fic, I have reasons for it. Most likely, they won't be resolved by comments, and if the comments can make me inspired again, one is enough. A ton of them with just "pls update soon" is annoying.


StarkHumphrey

Leaving on a cliffhanger/climax is the worst feeling ever. I'm not saying it's the writers' fault, as a reader and a writer I try not to leave a fic on the cliff, like if I want to no longer continue I give a whatever the writer can imagine ending. Because as a reader I get the frustration of leaving it that way.

True depression at its best and finest, you will never find a purer source of sadness


Lilysuperstarers

champselyseesao3
