    For people who enjoyed Knowledge is Power, It was DLP who got him to stop writing it, he couldn't handle the critique he got when it was posted in for rewiev. At least that is what I remember.

    Cleverly worded way of saying "I want to see this before everyone else".

    Seems like a good time as any to go reread it. Of course now if Santi fails to deliver I'll go cry in a corner somewhere.

    I hope it moves on from "muh precious hurt little baby" and finally goes into Voldemort/Harry ruling things or something.

    But it probably won't.:mad:

    A Butterfly Effect. It's probably my biggest guilty pleasure fic.

    Nightmares of Futures Past by S'tarkan - He published an update to his other fic last year so I hope he comes back around this eventually.

    Power of Time by Rosswrock - This is the original 'Harry strikes out on his own'. I haven't read it in years but I'd love to see it finished.

    Acceptance of Fate by Arya1 - Very long and incredible well done. She said she was going to finish up the whole thing and post it at all once but never touched it again.

    Backwards Compatible by Ruskbyte - Actually, anything by him would be good to see.

    Lie I've Lived sequel by jbern - He has to write his original stuff now but I hope he'll come back to this someday.

    Harry Potter The Last Avatar by The Sorting Cat - This one has been updated in the past year so I still have hopes. I've never read the Last Airbender series but this fanfic made me add it to my list. Well-written with good characters and clever world building. I still have hope.

    The Art of Healing, The Black Sisters, and The Litany of Blood by jon3776 - I think Art of Healing was only one chapter away from being finished? I never heard anything about why he stopped writing.

    I assume you mean the Fem!Harry femslash fic?

    At the time it was written it wasn't that clichéd. I still enjoy it even if I found the whole possession horcrux thing rather jarring.

    It always made me sad that HP and TLA stopped updating just as it was getting really interesting. Story of most abandoned fanfiction, though in the grand scheme of things it wasn't updated that long ago.

    It's probably not abandoned, but it's been a while, and I'd really appreciate a Harry Potter and the Turning of the Sun update.

    I feel a bit bad because so many people have mentioned this story and I encouraged Jim to focus on other stuff. TLIL, though one of my favorite fanfiction stories, was left in a decent place, I felt, and the sequel would have only disappointed readers. Better would be to spend the time on his BSG crossover or take on a new project.

    I feel the same way. A sequel could be really good, and I'd love to read it personally, but when I think of all the unsatisfying ends I've read, the stories abandoned or wrapped up clumsily, TLIL isn't one of them.

    Though I really have enjoyed "Only Enemies", "Control" is far better. Also abandoned.

    In somewhat of order

    1. Out of the Night. (Up for adoption, someone needs to take it up)

    2. Sitra Ahna

    3. Song of the Trees

    4. Fractal

    5. The Apprentice

    6. A wizard from earth

    7. Alexandra Potter


    Also, not abandoned but still I wish Inverarity would get around to giving me my next dose of AQ crack.

    Lots of fics I'd love to see updated have already been mentioned, but not the one I'd most love to see an update for: Contemplating Clouds

    Song of the Trees isn't abandoned, just takes like a year to update.
