Waiting

How long does one wait for an update before it decided that the story is dead and forgotten by the author. I’ve just done a purge of a whole slew of stories that I’ve fav’ed due to the last update being over a year or more ago. Some I’ve kept due to the author posting in the comments or in their blog, indicating they’re still somewhat active. Its sad really, so many good stories have just stopped for no reason and may never be completed. Here’s hoping that the one’s that are still on my fav list will be completed and maybe some sequels started.
