Writer's Block. Forgetfulness. Leaving a fandom. Computer viruses and, heaven forbid, Death of the writer;
There are many reasons for stories started to be left unfinished. Sometimes it will be a series that stops midway, and sometimes it is something as simple as a writer's exercise to get the creative juices flowing again that falls by the wayside and is left to collect digital dust as its author returns to their original project. But what happens to the tiny world they've created? Nothing, right? It's just a collection of words. The characters within have no real life of their own...do they?
