It’s honestly sad that we keep going through this cycle everytime. It's always the same talk and conversations repeated over and over again and honestly it's becoming draining for everyone involved. I understand that when we genuinely like a story we become so attached and emotionally invested in it.
But please let's be reasonable. The author explained multiple times that her writing process is slow and apologized for it, and said this is what she has to offer for now, we have the free choice to either take it or leave it. I honestly don't understand what other kind of transparency and honesty are expected other than that. Does she need to say it again and apologize for it every single time an update is late?
If we choose to stay it's because we trust the author and we accept the wait. It doesn't make any sense to stay and at the same time be angry about it. If she doesn't reply it's obvious that she's not ready and can't promise an update. And I believe we readers can be mature enough about it and give her some space for it, no? We're here to support whenever she's ready, but if she's not, then it's sad but we also can't force it either. It is what it is.
When we support, we do it out of love and appreciation for the work, not because someone is forcing us. But it's also an author's right to ask for support, it's their stories, their hard work, of course they can ask for all kind of support they want and need. We just need to be considerate of each other.
I truly cherish the work of the author and the community here. It’d be a shame to see it get dragged down by negativity. Nothing good will come out of it. Please guys, let’s do what we can to keep things positive and make this space as great as the content we’re all here for ❤️❤️❤️
