AQATWA: A title and not much else, plus copyright infringement!

Yes, I kind of suck right now. No progress to report.

Really, I'm going to finish AQATWA. Honest. I haven't lost interest or motivation. Just... temporarily suffering from a lack of writing mojo. That's why the lack of AQ posts lately.

The book is maybe not quite half done, I just need to get moving again on the second half.

So as a reward for your patience (those of you still following my LJ), I will stop teasing you with the title. The title of AQ book five is Alexandra Quick and the World Away.

Still aiming to finish by the end of (this) year. Which will happen. If I can start writing again...

In other news, I received a stern email from Box.com, which is where I hosted my ebook downloads, claiming they had received a "complaint" about "copyright infringement."

I doubt J.K. Rowling and her lawyers are sending C&D orders to hosting sites, so either Box.com just started cracking down on fan fiction, or someone out there doesn't like me. Boo.

I'll try to find another hosting site with fanfic-friendly TOS soonish.

Keep writing!

I am another one of those faceless people you are unaware of who finds your work utterly absorbing. I just set up a LJ login just so that I could tell you: Keep at it, please! We love your writing. I have read all the so-far released AQ books multiple times. AQ is probably my #1 favorite fan fiction anywhere, even beating out HPMOR, which seems to be very popular. Your reimagination of America is particularly nice... all these little touches that speak to the many subcultures, and of course, great characters and beautifully constructed plot! Your work is enjoyed by more people than you realize, if as you say in one of your earlier posts, your fan base is "small"-- either that, or somehow AQ has not received the attention it deserves. If it were legal for you to raise money via AQ, I would pay in a heartbeat. In any case, we are rooting for you to recover your mojo soon, and look forward to reading what you eventually put out.
