On Resurrecting Resurrection

Well, as a few of you have noticed, there's been no fic from me in over a year. I didn’t have the time, and then didn't seem to have the inclination. I literally have not written anything since March 2009. (For fun that is. I probably wrote over a thousand pages for work last year, which may have been a lot of the problem.)
I am thinking about the fic a little again. To find out if I can re-gleeify myself for it, I've gone back and started rereading this week (and man, is it long—I’m barely a quarter way through). But I guess the question I’m wondering about is, is it worth the effort? I'm a little OCD about finishing tasks I've set myself, but that's not a good enough reason to devote as much time and effort as this fic requires. Are you guys seriously still interested in this thing? I'm not looking for head patting here (or maybe I am a little), but genuine input. Fandoms are a fickle thing and people move on. As much as the act of writing has to be for my own enjoyment, I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter if anyone was interested and reading.
(Keep in mind, though, even if I do get myself to reengage on the fic, it will be awhile before I produce anything, given the novella length of the chapters and the ever-exciting vagrancies of work. And I'd have a lot of reading to do first.)

Date: 2010-03-12 10:20 pm (UTC)But if you're no longer enjoying writing it, then don't force yourself. You've no obligation to finish, however much we all might want you to!

Date: 2010-03-13 12:02 am (UTC)My (shorter) point is, if you write it, I'll read it. But as some of the other commenters here said, if it doesn't inspire you, then....
I will always love this piece, and would love to see how it ends.
YES
Date: 2010-03-13 02:35 am (UTC)If you decide NOT to finish, you MUST tell us what happened in the end - just a quick summary, nothing major. But curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back to life (or so they say) I have to know the end, and what happens to each of the main characters. Especially what the devil was Merlin trying to do in the first place??? And did he succeed??
Thanks
Gerdie

When you write it, I'll be here.

Date: 2010-03-17 07:40 pm (UTC)Yes, I love it that much. I've reread it several times, and I check back with your journal periodically on the off chance that you've posted an update. I have even cobbled the stories together into a single file to keep on my new e-reader so that I can take it on the go with me when I travel. A little pathetic? Maybe. But I'm okay with that.
And I am very okay with you writing and posting more. Please do. There is no doubt that I will be waiting to read it.

Date: 2010-07-25 10:43 pm (UTC)I have been reading the fic and thought of two songs that would be perfect to the Arthur and Lancelot's mood where you left off, I will try to translate the first track:
Alone, without you
I'm walking
And don't know what to do
Neither heaven answered me
When I asked for you, my darling
I could not forget you
Since the night I lost you
Shadows of doubt and jealousy
just thinking of you surround me
Let me find you
and if I find you
come back again
Forget the past
no longer remember that yesterday
While I'm asleep
I dream the two close together to a blue sky
But when I awake the sky is red
I'm needing you
-------
The other song I'll post it when I find the lyrics, :P
Bye bye

Date: 2011-07-04 05:14 pm (UTC)I love the way you have written Lancelot (he is my favorite :D) and Tristan, and Arthur, and... oh, what the hell, just everyone and everything, the plot is very thrilling and well written, and had me hooked from the start!
Sorry if I ramble and don't make much sense, but it's just that I love this story of yours so much (I have re-read it many times XD) that I don't know how to express it.
Thank you very much for writing this story, you gave me a wonderful, lovely time reading it ^^
