I can't believe readers have dropped off from following your story, rth, because how can you stop without waiting to find out what happens?!
Personally speaking, any author would have to go very, very, very wrong before I stopped reading a story I already started. (One example: I actually started out on that Left Behind series, and kept reading till Book Nine before I said no, I absolutely cannot go on, not even for the sake of finding out just how much worse it can get. So yes, I'm a Dedicated Reader by definition.)
But so far as your work is concerned, I just absolutely love, love, love it, although I haven't commented for ages. Real Life schedules and deadlines have kept me off the fandom, but I just caught up with AW from about chapter 9, I think, and it is every kind of wonderful. Thanks very much, and do keep writing. I'm one long-time reader who has no thought of jumping ship, even if I do keep disappearing.
Still reading
