I'd have to agree with these two. I love this story to bits, it was one of the first fics I read when I found this place. I got my friend to read it as well a while ago, and he stayed up reading like an addicted zombie.
Only reason I could think of for you to continue is to satisfy our craving for awesome hawt sea adventures. Honestly, if anything comes to feel like a "job," you'll hate it more if you're forced to work on it. This is how I feel about hobbies like writing and art. When money doesn't even motivate you (lol...first hand experience), you know it's time to stop until you get in the right "mood" one day. That's all I could really hope for though. If you one day wake up and be all, "OH SHIT! I have this itch to continue All Aboard! and feed those hungry audience some MM Pirate crack
and take over the world," well, then that'll be the day.
Until then, we've all got your other epic stories to read. I'm perfectly happy with that.
It's probably better to focus on the stories you're currently motivated to write than trying distract yourself with something that makes you want to rip your hair out.
Sooo, can anyone do a little motivation magic on Estrea? I don't know...if sending certain Morning Musume members to her door and having them beg, "PLEASE, continue writing about our adventures
sexing each other up and kicking ass and maybe we'll do a sexy dance at your door," won't work, I think we're done D:
