User blog comment:Gideoncrawle/ADMIN BLOG POST: New Story for the Front Page Sampler/@comment-4711173-20130922010740/@comment-1874924-20130922052735

Just because the writer is no longer active is not in and of itself grounds for replacing a story in the sampler. Besides, Nalyd was the lead writer and he still drops by, albeit mainly to chat. Furthermore, TWE has two full "seasons" completed and most of its chapters are standalone vignettes in any case, so it's considered finished for purposes such as this. (For the same reasons, it will never qualify as a dead fic.) TWE was originally added for its uniqueness, and that hasn't changed.
