This is the one thing that really irks me about the site. An author starts publishing a story and we get really drawn in to it, then suddenly, after a dozen or so chapters, the story is 'temporarily on hold' . Then one or two years down the line, the story is removed from the site because t has been published somewhere else and we remain in limbo.  While I realise there are financial and copyright concerns, is it so difficult to complete the story, even if somewhat prematurely instead of just marginalising us and removing it without an ending.

Unfortunately, not all of us can spare the cash to buy the completed work from the new publishers.

Here I want to thank @lomax61. Brian has had some of this stories picked up for mainstream publishing. But in every case, he has brought the story to a satisfactory end, before removing it from the site. 

I fully understand that some stories remain incomplete, sadly due to the author passing on. But after a year or two, excuses like 'mental state of mind' and others, IMHO,  are just that! Excuses! Or am I being too harsh. I know my writings are cathartic and the thrill I get from seeing the number of views and receiving comments and reactions is incredibly uplifting and encouraging.

Come on guys. While I fully realise there are financial considerations involved, play fair!
