Not to be a creeper, but I just wanted to pop in and thank you for your kind words.
I just wanted you to know that leaving the fandom and leaving these stories unfinished was probably the hardest thing I've ever done since I started writing fanfiction.
But, I guess, I just out grew the fandom and, honestly, didn't enjoy it--in general--anymore. So, instead of forcing myself to write (which is something I strongly disagree with) I decided to just cut my losses and leave.
I've moved on since then, obviously. For a long while I wasn't writing any fanfiction at all, because I felt like I was starting to get a little burnt out and the urge just wasn't there anymore.
But, then, I got settled and comfortable in my new fandom and the words came back to me.
I want to say that, someday maybe, I'll finish those stories I haven't, but I don't have near as much faith in myself as avari_maethor has in me. As of right now, I can't say if I'll ever finish them. I just don't know. But, I'm not completely taking the option off the table and, maybe, that makes the difference.
I just want to say, it's fans like you that keep us writers writing even if we may move on to new fandoms. Just remember that. :)
