"Discontinued" or "Abandoned" option for Story Status

(1/3) > >>

Pengi:
I was just looking at my stories and there's 2 on there that I'm not going to be working on again that aren't really finished. I was just thinking that there should be like an "abandoned" or "discontinued" option for the story's status instead of just "finished" or "unfinished"... you know? That way people don't read fics that are abandoned without being forewarned...

Cos I noticed the reads on my story How to Save a Life went up this week, even though it was abandoned for Time Watcher. I don't want to delete it either though because of the reviews on it... Just a thought! :)

RokofAges75:
That's a good idea if it's possible.  It's good to give people a warning so they can decide whether or not to read a story that they know is probably never going to be finished.

julilly:
I guess if it's an abandoned story that's not completed, I don't see why you wouldn't delete it lol

My best suggestion would be to outline in the summary that the story is abandoned. People are far more likely to see it there.

mare:
I was just about to say the same thing that Julilly said. I think the best thing to do is delete it if you have no intention of working on it again. Because I don't think people even pay much attention to those finished and unfinished boxes. You can always copy and paste your reviews and save them somewhere else.

A-RokzStalker:
No, I don't think they should delete them, because I still sometimes read stories that aren't going to be finished. I just like to know if I should be checking back for updates or not.
