Aw, man! I wish this fic was finished. Such a good story and one of the stories that really showed me how good fanfiction could be (yes, I'm rather knew to this whole world). I actually tried to hunt down further info: were there any subsequent chapters, what were the author's plans to finish or why they weren't finishing, etc. I'm a librarian, and I couldn't help but do some kind of research. Sadly, no luck.

I actually worry a little about the writers who disappear from fandom, without finishing their work. What happened to them? Did something devastating happen in their real life? Did they die?! Is it simply because they didn't get enough feedback/comments and they thought their work wasn't appreciated? And then I feel even MORE guilty for not leaving reviews on every single story I've ever read.

What do authors look for in reviews? Is a shot "I really like this!" satisfying? Do you want me to point out grammatical/spelling/clarity errors? I guess I just need to relax and work on leaving comments and I'll eventually get better at it.
