Honestly, if it's only been a year, I'd say still have hope, OP. I've come back to stories after year long hiatuses and so have other authors I've read.

As for responding to reviews and then not responding to messages, some fic writers use fandom/fic-specific email accounts for their stuff, so it's not that they're seeing your messages and ignoring them, it's that - for the time being - they're out of that part of fandom entirely.

On the flip side, dead WIPs are a lot more common than authors coming back, so have hope... but at the same I'd say don't have too much hope.

Yeah, pretty much seconding this - but I can see OP's worry, too. Sometimes authors of WIPs won't reply though, because they feel guilty about not updating.

Sometimes authors of WIPs won't reply though, because they feel guilty about not updating.

That's sort of related to the creating and then not checking fandom/fic specific emails thing I mentioned. As someone who's done the year hiatus, I do end up feeling guilty... and that guilt only leads to further procrastination.

So, it's quite possible that the author hasn't even gotten OP's message asking if they're okay, because they're just avoiding that entire account vs "oh I feel so guilty over not writing this fic and/or never going to write again that I'm not even going to respond that i'm okay."
