#i speak from experience
Kadinelia - Sinnerman
I thought that after Nina Simone (that’s the big one), Big Joe Williams, Peter Tosh, 16 Horsepower (I love that version), and Alice Smith (in the Lovecraft Country soundtrack), we’re pretty set as far as “Sinnerman” covers go, and don’t needanother, per se, and then this one came along, starting unassumingly with an acoustic guitar before adding bagpipe (bagpipe!) and beatbox, and you know what? We can have another, after all.
for real, if you see a fic that seems abandoned but you really want to see if it might be completed
i would genuinely suggest not mentioning the fact its abandoned at all. instead, just leave the most effusive comment you can. tell the author specifically what you liked. if they are in a position they might continue it, you might remind them what they liked about the story, and thus maybe revive it.
that is probably your best bet to get a story finished, much more than asking “hey is this abandoned” or asking for it to be continued.
