Line 21:
* The epic [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] [[Fighting Game]] votefic trilogy known as the ''[[Ultimate Video Rumble]]'' teetered on the edge of this several times, a few times going nearly a year without an update. Twice this forced another writer to take over the majority of the writing duties: the first time this happened (midway through ''UVR 2''), it was actually a vast improvement; the second time (early ''UVR 3'')... not so much, but it got the story ended.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]! [[The Secret of NIMH|Secret of Nimh]]'', a crossover fanfiction by a user known as Isaac2 (or ErinIsaac2). At the end of a chapter, in the middle of the final duel, the last post by the author read: "Damn. In writer's block. I still don't know what to write!".
* Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp's ''[http://jusenkyo.wikia.com/wiki/Featherbrite's_Tale Featherbrite's Tale]''. The "winner" of the infamous Bet from the fic cycle of the same name from the late 1990s/early 2000s. Two incomplete versions exist of this fic, in which a tiny change in [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]]'s childhood results in him accidentally gathering a team of ersatz [[Sailor Moon|sailor senshi]] with very real powers around himself to battle the forces of the [[The Fair Folk|Unseelie Court]]. Both show evidence of concepts being changed in mid-stream, and the longer of the two cuts off abruptly before the climax and resolution of the story. However, enough [[Chekhov's Gun]]s are hung that a reasonably alert reader can figure out where things were headed. (Which still isn't anywhere near as satisfying as actually seeing it written would have been.)
* ''[http://kokorononaka.net/Fanwork/WhiteAngel/NS.html The New Students]'', a ''[[Harry Potter]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' crossover fic in which Yugi, Ryou, and Marik are invited to Hogwarts. It's hosted on Kokorononaka.net, which hasn't been updated since 2007.
