Sunday, January 13, 2008

I did a double take. Last I checked the blog had been abandoned last January. Not only was there a new chapter, but there was a note from the author. He had started his blog as an experiment, but time got tight for him. I can certainly relate. However, as he puts it:

He ended with:

I hope people continue to read, leave comments, and email me. A little encouragement goes a long way.

I couldn't have said it better myself. So, let this be a lesson for all of us. If you find a blog fiction that you like and it stops, with a little encouragement the author might pick it up again.

I couldn't be happier about this. This was the first blog fiction that I ever found and enjoyed waiting for the next installment. I've also added the Fleet Commander feed to the list and will be eagerly awaiting the next installment again.
