Aw... When I saw this thread had been updated, I figured a chapter had been written. Rushing to read it, I found that the latest post by Scipionyx contained four sad smileys. Praying for the best, I scrolled up and my worst fears were confirmed.

I realize you look back at some of your work and feel it just isn't adequate, and that's normal, but you will rarely ever see yourself in a neutral light. Either you'll see yourself surounded by glowing light, which you so desperately reach for and just can't hold onto, or the exact opposite. It is your fans, your veiwers, your critics and even those who hate you who will either tell you the truth or a the partial truth.

When you read as a casual reader, you won't realize half of the plot holes, mistakes, and downright bad characterization that may have been made, because you'll enjoy it enough to let that disguise it. Realism will give your reader's a hard plummet to the ground of critisism, unless you get it right. On the other hand, a guitar weilding, flying, bomb dropping Abe will not make a splash with your audience. But the level of insanity that can be reached before most people notice is relatively high.

Personally, I beleive your story has run it's course. I wouldn't mind a cameo appearance or two, but this one has finally run out of breath it seems. I would gladly read this if you continued, for the thought of the gold at the end of the rainbow, which I highly suspect ther must have been. Horror is a genre I would like to see more of in the Fan Corner. Particularily from you.

But this is all up to you. Whatever you decide on doing, is your decision. A summary is the one thing I demand from you though.

If you decide to give up, you can do that, but we'll all remember it as an ill-fated attempt. Whole-hearted, but misfortunate.

Do as you wish.
