very interesting information about the perspective of other fandoms. I didn't know that it took so long for story updates in other areas, because I haven't had a lot of contact with other fandoms.

I can say that when I have explored some other fandom story links, I find nothing but unfinished fics!  Some of them haven't been updated in a year or more!  without explanation or apology.  So it could be that in BBM we are quite QUITE spoiled!

Hey guys -

I don't really post in forums much anymore, but someone directed me over here, and said that folks were frustrated that I wasn't updating TTTB.  I am genuinely sorry you are waiting.   I do try to keep folks updated over at EnnisJack, where I will pop in from time to time. 

There are many writers who can stick to an update schedule, due to the flexibility of their work schedules and commitments.  I am not one of those writers.  I try to update on a pretty regular basis, as I can.  And there were always be times when I am more able to put chapters out every 2 to 3 weeks.  Right now is not one of those times. I also have a very limited amount of time to write, due to life and work commitments, which only get worse for me as the year-end approaches, due to the nature of my job.  However, I always finish what I start, and I don't abandon a story.

I think someone here mentioned other fandoms.  In my other fandoms, waiting a month, two or even more was is not unheard of.  Also, on the flip side, sometimes you'd wait a year for someone to finish and post a story.  Brokeback fandom is very serialized, more so than any fandom I've been involved in.  I always feel quite lucky as a reader to get as many updates we do still.

So in short, I am sorry you are frustrated.  And if you choose to stop reading, that's okay.  I'll still keep posting, and if you want to swing back around when the story is finished, and take a read, it will still be there.

Be well.

Hi Alexis,

Thanks for stopping in!  It's great to see you here.  As I've said in earlier posts I think it's no real hardship to be patient.  So, I hope you don't feel too pressured.  And, it's completely understandable that there are times when you can write a lot and other times when you need time for other things.
Thanks for all the great writing in all your stories.

cheers,
Amanda

Thanks, Alexis.  As Amanda said, I think it's no real hardship to be patient, either, for such wonderful stories.  And like Janice, I look forward to whatever - and whenever - you update. 

What a gracious post.  You're a class act. 

Thanks,
Marie
