Exactly! I think so many of us fall into the I don't update enough category that we can easily feel like uh oh... lol

Usually when I commit to a story I will see it through to the end but lately I have decided that some I will read only once they are complete because of sporadic updating and not being totally sure the author will actually ever finish it and I don't want to invest my time in something that's not going to be finished.

What are you crying about? You aren't even posting anything until it's complete anyway! lol
Seriously though, is there anything worse than getting all consumed in a story that is never updated? I am still hopeful that one day Eboni will update Prisoners of War or that Maria will update Yesterday's Blue Skies!

How long are you willing to wait to read an update before you give up on a story?
If the story's good, I'll wait for it, period. I don't really have a set time limit.
If the author tends to take a long time between updates, do you find you have to go back and reread the previous chapters before reading the new one?
Yes - if it's longer than a few weeks, I usually have to refresh my memory.
If the author takes too much time to update, do you find yourself less excited to read when it is finally updated or hesitant to read something else by that author?
Usually, yes. There are some stories that I really like, but because so much time goes by between updates (years, in some cases), it takes so much effort to go back and reread and refresh my memory that I have decided to just wait until they are finished before reading any more. I'd rather go back and reread them all in one shot than keep reading a chapter every few months or years and then forgetting what happens.

I feel like I can run naked through this forum it's so dead. I feel like that kid in the Home Alone movies.
I have no question, I just didn't know where else to say that. lol
