Hey!! I just reread BLHH and I was wondering if it's abandoned or still on hiatus? I really love it and i'm super excited to read more <3
That's honestly a really good question! The short answer is: It's complicated.
The fic hasn't been updated because for quite a large period of time (years actually!) I had what I now know to be severe burnout. But my fatal flaw is that I've always hesitated to say the fic is abandoned, because myself and the co-author (the heart and soul of the fic, in my eyes, and the person who handled all the technicalities) still hold love for the story, and it's never felt right leaving it incomplete.
We've attempted to start writing it again several times in the past few years, but with my burnout as bad as it was and general busyness we never got as far as we'd hoped-- not for lack of trying, but the blame for the fic not being updated absolutely falls on me, tbh. Again, I cannot stress how much it means to my friend-- but as I was the primary writer and couldn't write, it unfortunately didn't update.
You're right in that it's not really fair to leave anyone who loved the fic hanging! I'd have to speak with my friend the co-author about attempting another go, but as historically I'm the one who's been bad at following through it's possible that even if we do we won't get very far. I can't make any promises, because I don't want to promise something if I'm not sure I can deliver, but unfortunately that also means I don't have a straight answer for you, I'm sorry!
Thank you for sending this message, though. It means a lot, in more ways than one. I wish I could give you a solid answer, friend; for you and me both. I can promise though that if I do get a solid answer either way, I'll post it on my tumblr.
