Hey to give everyone an update. Turns out that the author DID respond and gave me her unfinished next chapter and a rough outline of where she planned to take the story. I am debating going in one of two directions. The first option is that I will continue with the storyline that the original author laid out. If I did that, I would probably make it about a 10 chapter story, just so things are wrapped up. Then the second option is that I create my own version using the Magdalena and the Twinks, while figuring out how to have some sort of overlap with the original story. Knowing me, I will probably undertake both options  because I am ambitious (or perhaps that should be crazy).
And what is even more cool is that the author said that I can contact her in the future to ask her questions re: what she had planned on doing with her story before she decided to drop the story.

Wow sindohte, that's actually quite cool.
And Daughter of Kings (Sindohte's and my fic) is not going to be unfinished forever.  I hate unfinished fics and I feel a tremendous sense of guilt about letting it go so long, but we've both been so freakin' busy.  I'm sitting here right now with a feverish teething boy on my lap. Oh, and the a/c is out. Which helps with the fever, I'm sure.

Well, I have a wee bit of guilt about not being finished with our electronic baby yet. However what really freaks me out is that when we first started writing DoK, the child sitting on your lap and teething wasn't even born. It's about time we get the dang story finished before the poor kid starts driving.

Gah, now I feel all kinds of guilty. I've got a good handful of stories that are languishing unfinished at this very moment, some of them several years old. I plan to finish them, really I do. In most cases, I've got the whole thing planned out, but I just can't seem to actually get it into words. If anyone has the solution to that, I'd love to hear it.

I have some other fics in mind, but I'm constitutionally unable to do more than one...so that's another reason I want to get finished.

I have half a dozen unfinished fics lying around waiting to be continued. Unfortunately the muses leave me as quickly as they came. I think there are really good ideas/beginnings, but I am so stuck.

Sometimes, rewriting a part of it, say from a different perspective, can bump things along when a fic gets stuck...
Just a thought:)

Same here. And to make it worse, I think it's been there for like a year... I should probably just pull it off.
do.
