Open letter to Fanfiction.net reviewers....

[misora]

No, I am not abandoning my Zutara piece, The Penance Series.

No, I am not abandoning my other huge ATLA fic, Lotus Resiliens. I'm working on it right now, as a matter of fact. I've invested too much time plotting and planning to simply let it fall by the wayside.

No, I am not abandoning my WHR fic, Hieros Gamos, either.

I know I am a horrendously slow updater. It has to do with how busy I am IRL. But rest assured, I am not abandoning any of my fics. The only ones you won't see continued are the ones clearly marked "one-shot".

If you'd actually leave signed-in messages, I would be able to respond to you directly with these answers. Why ask a question without any way for me to contact you to answer? If you didn't want an answer to the question, why would you ask it in the first place?

Slow writers unite! We might seldom update, but every chapter is worth the wait!

...At least with your fic for sure, haha. Quality takes time.

... Yes, I know what you speak of.

Or even when they ask a question like, "ARE KATARA AND ZUKO GOING TO GET TOGETHER YET I DON"T LIKE AANG SHES LIKE HIS MOTHER" and it's anon.

Oh God, I feel you so much. I update basically at the pace of an arthritic slug. I think it's because I get too distracted easily. I need to actually sit down, discipline myself better, and write.

I need to work to change this. Procrastination is one of my worst faults.

And yeah, I can understand your frustration. How do people expect you to respond if they don't leave signed in reviews? I'd be tempted to disable anonymous reviews altogether when I got fed up enough, but that's just me. XP

And hey, you've got a baby due pretty soon, so your updates will be even slower. :)

Dude, you write WHR? I might have to check that out when finals are not killing me soon.

Other than that, I know how you feel. Also, it wouldn't be as fun if they got together right away! Making the reader wait makes it that much more rewarding! (I haven't read your stories but this is true with so many things.)
