Thanks so much! I absolutely agree with you that it's terrible to have to wait to find out what happens and very difficult to read a WIP that the writer may never finish. I feel bad for putting some WIPs on fanfiction.net that I wrote years ago and still haven't finished, especially after receiving comments asking me when I'm going to finish them!

I almost hate to write this way, by posting a chapter at a time while I'm writing (or in this case rewriting) the story, but at the same time it's good to receive feedback and possibly some suggestions on how to change things or if I have made some huge error in continuity or something that will need to be changed and having it pointed out to me. This is my second draft and the story might need a third or fourth before I'm satisfied with it. But what tedium, yet that is the way of those unpublished writers who do not have the benefit of editors.

One thing I'm very thankful for is that I started reading 'A Song of Ice and Fire' after 'Game of Thrones' started on HBO. I can't imagine waiting five years between books like some of GRRM's fans have done. Although it could be that long until Book Six comes out and I'm so thoroughly hooked on the series that I hope he finishes it in my lifetime (or before I turn senile at least). :)

Thanks for your awesome comment and I totally agree with your decision. It might also help me finish this, which I am determined to do. XD
