I've got stories by seven different authors that have the dreaded yellow strip. I did notice cmsix has come back and posted a new chapter to a couple of his previously striped stories, I just wish he'd finished the striped ones before he starts new ones - which he's doing all the time.

Heh has 49 stories at SOL - 13 completed (mostly short stories, 12 with the incomplete and inactive yellow strip, and the rest are in progress. In effect he's got 36 part written stories of which 13 haven't had an update for so long they got yellow striped, but many of the others are a long time since an update as well. A lot of his short stories are NOT on the time travel harem theme, but all of the longer ones I've read part of are. Ernest

I got tired of Chess's (cmsix) long ago and just quit reading his. A lot of people still like his efforts, though they've dropped way down on my "good" list lately. Another thing I don't understand is just up and pulling stories from the site so people can't read them, finished or not. Dmitri

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Another thing I don't understand Author: Ed Greenberg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:49:25 07/26/10 Mon I've also seen stories that post for a while, go dark for months and months, then post one more chapter, then go dark again for heaven only knows how long. If I see a new chapter of something on my list, and I can't for the life of me remember the storyline in question, that story isn't updating frequently enough. Of course, we're not paying for this stuff...
