Orphaned Series/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

This page is a bit too depressing, so to lighten it up, here's [https://web.archive.org/web/20090224181233/http://www.twentysevenletters.com/fullstory/ the Full Story website] (which, currently, is down) and the [http://belfrycomics.net/view/all/Completed Belfry's list of completed webcomics], for webcomics that were ''not'' orphaned and lived their lives through (well, there are some errors in the Belfry list).

* Pretty much every comic on subscription-site WirePop eventually falls into this. Most have been quietly removed from the site after enough time passes. Of the 17 series that launched the site, a grand total of ''two'' did not end with the author dropping it (those two series, ''Xamra'' and ''Realms Of Ishikaze'' have since had normal endings and no longer update). The real kicker is that people have to actually pay to read the majority of the comics past the most recent updates, and they ''still'' can't reliably expect the comics they want to read to continue. It's easier to count the subversions than list them all, but the most notable dropped series include:

* ''[[Nami Warriors]]'' tried to prevent [[Schedule Slip]] in August 2010 by going from twice a week updates to once a week updates. A few weeks later, the strip was abandoned altogether.

* ''Never Never'' by John "The Gneech" Robey has, over the past few years, spent more time on hiatus than updating. This is entirely down to time constraints - initially, he had to drop it in favour of his first webcomic, ''The Suburban Jungle''. Since that time, a few guest artists have taken it on, before having to bow out themselves.

* ''[http://oldskooled.comicgenesis.com/ OldSkooled]'' was very slow at updating for many years but still renowned. It hasn't updated since a single strip went up in late 2006.

** A new strip was posted Feb 2010, along with a "Let's see where this goes" attitude.
