 * So is this the reader's problem, or the writer's problem?

Either or both. In the case of my own story, the fact that I post only one chapter every two months may have some people waiting until I actually finish and ramp up the posting schedule. There's also the fact that most of my best commenters are no longer active on the wiki at all. (Although I'm hoping that will be temporary in some cases, especially Rhonda's.)

If I do put LTDI on hiatus, I would only be suspending the posting schedule. I would continue to write it, because I've spent over 2-1/2 years on it and I've written over 175,000 words of story (of which about 95K is currently posted) and about 9500 words of notes, so I've come too far to just give up.

I really can't fathom why Lilac's story isn't getting more feedback. She hasn't updated (or really been on the wiki at all) in 3 months, apparently because life has gotten in the way, but before that she was putting up new chapters every 2-4 weeks.

I'll continue to write LTDI, as I said, but I'm beginning to look elsewhere for my audience. I'm preparing to set up pages for my stories on TV Tropes, and I expect that in the near future I will begin to port my stories to fanficiton.net, which has a much larger TD fanbase.
