Mini rant

You know what I don't get? When people unsubscribe after a story is completed. 

I'm not a writer but I am empathic towards the writers when they get upset about the fact that people unsubscribe after the story is finished. I kind of understand why they would unsubscribe during the story because they storyline is a bit dead but to unsubscribe at the end of the story... like what - what is going through their heads?

Are they scared that the author will continue updating? In that case, they should be happy, not unsubscribe. 

Then again, I'm only me, and I might not understand their perspective but what logic (if it can be provided) can be given to explain this?

Why do people unsubscribe after a story is completed?

I actually hate it when people do that. I even hate it when readers do it to other authors
Like i did it once in 2010 ... it was the first fic i finished on aff... i clicked un-sub because i didn't know, but when i clicked it i felt bad & never did it again...

i really don't know why they do it though... it's not even necessary ...

@Babo-Rabbit, I just don't understand, but understand any circumstance, they should at least say why they are unsubscribing. At least it's better than then no reason at all.
@SerendipitySweet, But what's the point of keeping the subscription box 'clean'? Doesn't it say that they're a silent in which, I'm pretty sure, that some people don't like. But I guess some writers are cool with it but some aren't. I just want to know whatever it may be. *I'm not trying to come across as defensive or offensive, I'm just confused on the matter because a friend of mine is upset with it.*

idk, maybe people like keeping their subscription boxes 'clean' or whatever it may be.
i've had this happened to me on multiple occasions, and everytime i'm like 'lol that's cool, thanks for the support br0'

i freaking agree with you... what is the point of sticking to the author for so long and then un-subbing ?
