Fair enough! Insofar as I read something into your original comment that wasn’t there, I think it was due to my interpretation of the language? When I hear something described as “dead” or “abandoned”, that sounds like assigning blame to the author, as if they didn’t fulfill a responsibility or duty; but I understand that this interpretation was not intended.
To be clear, I would still bet at 2:1 odds that the story won’t get finished, simply based on base rates for web fiction (possibly the base rate for unfinished Glowfics is even higher?). All the while stressing that I don’t mean that as blame, and that it’s entirely fine for anyone to decide that a free fiction project is no longer worth their opportunity cost.
