Line 9 ⟶ 8:
On rare occasions, a seemingly '''Orphaned Series''' may be resurrected, either by the original artist or by another taking it over. Fans may wait for years in vain for this to happen, but it almost never does.
An even worse case is when the webcomic literally vanishes from the Internet, because the account it was hosted on was deleted due to the bill not being paid in a long time.
The more extreme [[Schedule Slip]]s blur the line. See also [[Dead Fic]]. Compare [[Vaporware]], which is something the creator claims ''not'' to have given up on—but almost all the fans have.
