2nd comment because it's long.

A few years ago, someone in my fandom announced an Alphabet Soup fic challenge for the main character of said fandom. She'd already done challenges for the two most popular supporting characters, and they'd all been collated into their own alphabetical indexes.

I was really excited to give my favorite character some love (despite being the main character, he could get mocked quite a bit, and the actor had some particularly determined haters), so I claimed several letters, posted the fic on the due date, and waited for the other stories to come in. I wanted to read all the fics in one go after the index had been posted.

Twenty fics were posted, and then things just...stopped. At first, I thought it was a "real life comes first" situation, and we'd get the index at a later date. But a year later, I ran across a post by the challenge creator, who mentioned in an offhand way that she was no longer a part of that fandom. Needless to say, the index was never completed, and to this day, there are still four letters left unclaimed.

While it's not something I dwell on (it only comes to mind when I see hate for the character or actor, which has fortunately diminished as the years have gone on), I wish she'd stuck around long enough to see the challenge through, or at least handed it off to someone else when she realized she was drifting away from the fandom.

I guess I just wanted to vent about this and try to put it behind me for good.
