i mean, i dont wanna be a dick, it’s just - like, okay, i take these questions at face value, so if what they MEAN is “yay i can’t wait for the new chapter!”, that is at best an inference i have to make. because what gets SENT is: is this wip abandoned?? are you going to update it?? and. like. i think it’s pretty clear. that i know what the “abandoned and discontinued” tag is and that i explicitly make use of it. so it kinda comes across as a case of “HEY I DIDNT EVEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, CAN YOU GOOGLE THIS FOR ME????” which like. i personally would like to avoid. i want to be the kind of person who makes every effort to answer their own question before asking someone else & i think it’s something we should all collectively aspire to - god knows we dont want to be that grown ass adult at work that goes around interrupting people with questions that would take them 3 seconds to google
