    It fucking pains me to see people carry on posting in this thread when there's no new news on any updates. Fucking pains me.

    I'm still holding out for this fic getting finished one day, hopefully before I expire due to natural causes.

    It takes him 6-8 months to write the chapter and then 2-4 months to be beta'ed.

    So we are looking at about 10 years before the whole story is finished. Maybe longer.

    But have hope its been over a year since the last update, so it cant be that much longer till it goes to the beta guy/girl. And then its only 4 more months.


    I will wait for this story to update like I wait for Thalarian's Queens Of Darkness, Ladies Of Light to update.

    Boo: You're missing the point -- not only has he not updated in more than a year, he hasn't posted a single message on his yahoo group in more than a year. I think his beta posted a few months ago that she also hadn't heard from him in a while. So that's why even his most fervent supporters think the story is abandoned.

    Before his last update he wasnt in contact for awhile.
    I think he was backpacking or something. So it is still within hope that he is still just out of contact for awhile and not dead, or that he abandoned all of his fans to the horrible fate of not read a finished story.

    Maybe there was a freak electrical accident during a storm that sent his soul into his body in a parallel univer-

    Oh wait.

    Maybe people should stop bumping this retarded topic. Guys either dead, or out of the fanfiction game for now. Nothing new to add.

    I guess you could say he has estranged his fans

    So I found Jono...

    I'm almost certain this is him - and he's very much alive.

    I'm a member of his Yahoo group, and all files are uploaded by him (serpant-sorcerer), which leads to this:

    After that, tracking the name was easy...

    http://www.facebook.com/people/Jono-Lancaster/1317832465

    I was tempted to ask him why he gave up fanfiction, but...meh. Seems pretty obvious, reading about the stuff he's doing irl.

    Mystery solved, I reckon ?

    Huh, well whether or not that is him props to said person, as that's awesome.

    Blimey. Well inlieu of an update, how about we set DLP's detective force to the task of tracking down his old class? Most of them probably deserve to be punched in the face (or at least this kid Neil).

    The selfish bastard though, putting charity before updating his fic! What a prick!

    The Stranger Trilogy was a very good fanfic. Do you guys think he's EVER going to get back to it?

    Ok -- completely outside of the fact that that may have been the author, that was a neat story.

    But seriously -- the dude found his biological parents once he was grown, and presumably not needing money/help or anything, and they told him to eff off?

    Dayum. Also, I hate you for making me think that this might have updated or re-surfaced in some way... though I must admit that my hopes weren't really all that high.

    Edit: Oh, and how'd you come across that? Do you randomly type in the guy's name and see what Google brings up? ;)

    No idea how Blaise found it, but I just saw that on the BBC totally out of the blue, and recognised the name.
