... Okay.
So someone has been marathoning my YGO fics lately. Every day I have a stack of new Favorite and Following messages.
Then today, she happens to read one of the hanging ones. For the first time that I recall, she leaves a review.
She basically orders me to either update the thing or delete it.
Seriously, she doesn't ask if it's going to be updated, or beg me to update it, or say she wishes it would be updated. She flat-out says, and I quote from the public review: "This story hasn't updated since 2010. And it's 2014 now. Either you update this story, or delete it."
... Okay.
What if I feel I can't update it and don't want to delete it? And what about the people who enjoy what's already there?
Mama Mia.
Truthfully, I've thought several times about marking the thing Complete, because it's just so creepy by itself and it almost feels like continuing it would ruin it. But on the other hand, I hate leaving the character in his predicament, so I don't mark it Complete just in case I feel like I can update it someday.
