I was dissappointed at the lack of response for my alternative universe

So in the interest of keeping my word, I will finish a single chapter and
see how well it goes over.

Sorry, Trevor -- nothing personal -- but this attitude is exactly what
makes me *not* want to read someone's story. I'm tired of reading part
ones of stories and then being left hangingas they get abandoned; and I
for one am not going to beg anyone to finish a fic.

It all comes down to whether *you* have faith in your own idea or not.
If you don't, why should we? If you think your storyline has potential,
then commit to writing the whole thing. When you have a quality finished
product, readers will come around; and if it doesn't turn out as
expected, you'll have learned something.
