Yeah... I can’t help but worry about it since I first came to know about the hiatus...
As someone who doesn’t know what problems the author is actually facing but now knows she doesn’t want to give up on the novel I can only hope she can find a co-writer to help her to put all those ideas on paper... even if to only give the story a well deserving ending.
I also don’t know what are Webnovel’s policies in those cases where a contracted author can’t bring themselves to keep writing (for the many reasons they may have, I mean, they are humans and we get it) their novels. It’s complex, after all there is some kind of responsibility in finishing a novel as well.
Hey @CKtalon is there any means to suggest the approach of having a co-writer in those cases? The author could act as an editor? I don’t know a better term to use.. and work together to deliver it’s ideas on the novel till they are able to finish it? Maybe that could diminish the authors troubles a little and help so the novel doesn’t end um dropped or rashly finished?
As I said, I don’t know how or to whom suggest this or even if it’s really viable... as a reader and someone who tries so sympathize with the authors i wish something could be done about it. It must feel even worse being a writer forced to give up (for any reason) on a work than having a novel you are a fan of being dropped.
If it is viable, maybe it can be applied to the contracted originals as well since all writers can face problems like these. I feel it could be discussed with authors that end up having long hiatus but still have a desire to see the novel finished and think is a shame to just drop it.
