Since you have a "reputation" of writing incomplete stories, anything new will not garner the same readership thinking you will leave it unfinished or, as you've already announced, long delays between updates!

It has the 20th most posts of all stories on Getdare. It has the 13th most views of all stories on Getdares. It's ranking in a 4.74. It is 32419 words. 62 pages on Microsoft Word. And thirty four chapters. I think, by all measures except for the fact that I did not finish it, it is a success. And you cannot judge a story simply on that, just as you cannot say Lebron sucks at basketball because he has no rings - http://chasing23.com/ring-counting/.

And are you staying you don't even want me to start this story? Thats the only reason I can think of as to why you are attacking me before even reading my story.

I can't say it was a failure but that story was definitely not a success because you did not finish it. Saying you don't feel like rewriting the ending is just laziness and really screws with the readers who were anticipating a good ending. This next story might be good but don't be surprised if you lose readers because of the last stories

Many of us look forwards to the start of this story, but we can't know if we like it, if you don't start!
As to your other story, I think it is a success, in a way, though it would be even more, if you finish it.
Also, you might want to think about using a flash drive!

To use Lebron as an example, you need to get the analogy correct. Lebron FINISHES the games he plays in. He competes to the very END! If Lebron played only 3 quarters then said "I'm not playing in the 4th!" that would be the equivalent to you not finishing your story! Yes, everyone would rate Lebron a FAILURE if he didn't FINISH the entire game!

In literary terms, imagine what the world would be like if they stopped writing the Bible after the Old Testament because they had a new exciting story idea!

So, you going to write a story or just have a p*ssing contest about whether the other story was a success. (I quite enjoyed that story, personally).

Did you enjoy that many of the ideas that were started in that "story" were never finished in later chapters?
