Oh nuuues 8O, some things: -
1) YOU DON'T DO A FANFICTION JUST SO PEOPLE SHALL READ IT, you do it because you liek it <3. If not, then...Well I dunno, it seems like all the fanfiction authors want the pageviews and comments, its supposed to be about enjoying it, not so much the pageviews 8(.
2) I don't think anyone there is screwed up, I mean you do a better Stranger than I do (I think my fanfic had him go beserk and emo xD). You could just have Charlotte mourn if you don't like her lack of mourniness or whatnot.
3) It tends to be the good fanfics that get ignored

, I guess the shorter ones just draw more attention o.O.
4) Well if you won't continue, I'd like to see an outline

.
5) See the problem is we get bored of one fanfic, leave it unfinished then do another. I've done that more times than I can count, but it should be a fun fic, I'd like to see fics by you because you have awesome writing skills <3.
Well good luck with stuffs 8D.
