Oh... and perhaps you could discuss with your active readers which stories could maybe still stay and can be re-written, so they can still subscribe again ^^ Sometimes that works too. Sorry. Just thought of this only now, hehe.

Never apologize for real life. If it is important you need to keep it up and sometimes neglect AFF when necessary. And sometimes starting over by removing older and broken stories and adding new stories can work for the better. It just takes a while for your followers to gain some trust again that you'll be actually finishing those new ones, hehe. Perhaps starting off and completing the shortest or easiest ones to write would be a good idea? I know that worked for me as well ^^ People appreciate it when you finish at least ONE thing in your list. Good luck. Don't stress it.
