I hope your OK. I enjoyed your writing quite a bit, and I am sad to see this happen. I was hoping this was an April Fools, but it is posted on the wrong day :(
I, too, want to add my well wishes. I hope whatever is stopping you from writing is nothing bad, and that you can continue soon; I greatly look forward to the continuation of the story. Thank you for publishing what you have - it has already brought me great pleasure to read.
I second (3rd? 4th?) that. I was heartbroken when Merger halted after the killing, and temporarily very happy when the story reincarnated as Integration.
For what it's worth, I had the impression the story was really picking up steam again and progressing realistically and logically; both the style and the plot were getting better, IMO. This makes me even more eager to read more.
Whatever the holdup, I join in the best wishes for its reason to go away.
I have been reading both MM and MI the last few days.
I loved MM. Utterly. Well written, interesting people, interesting world, exciting story. All the parts of a good novel.
MI has all that, except for the story. It is too much of an epilogue for MM. It is still a very enjoyable read, but not quite as good as the original. (The doom of all sequels)
I suspect this is the reason for the hiatus?
The interaction with Alanna shows promise, it feels like the beginning of a new great story. However, getting there took too long.
I am not a writer, but I will nevertheless offer some unsolicited advice. In my defence, I am a very experienced READER.
It may sound brutal, but I think you should ditch this half-novel. It does not work.
However, you don't need to start from scratch! You have a well crafted world, a good set of characters and even some prose that can be reused. Feel free to copy-paste parts of this work into the new one where they fit.
Just, this time, have some idea of which story you are going to tell before starting.
I hope this advice is more encouraging than the opposite.

Just discovered you on stories online and then here. Love your writing and want to thank you for sharing your imagination with us. This is publishable stuff and I will be happy to pay well for this. My very best wishes to you and I hope you and your’s are well. Best.
Been gone a few years, still checking in though I fear it's been four years since my last "yearly" check in. Life has changed so much, so I had hoped. Hopefully your life is going well. Here's hoping you return to this story someday.
Dang I just discovered the MM and MI stories a day or two ago and I can say I was addicted, sad to see that it was never completed but is still a very good read!
12 years ago I hit the last chapter and posted an anonymous comment, still checking in since.
Hey Greenie, glad to see people are still finding this story. It's a good one, one I wouldn't mind in paperback if it was an option. I think I've read it front to back a few dozen times now, best to read it in winter, during long nights.

Your fan.

I'd love to see this story continued.
I'd love to see the story continue, and hope it will someday, but that's entirely up to you - you're doing us a favor by posting it.
Thanks for what you've posted so far, and best wishes on whatever you're currently busy with.
Just checking in again.

Checking in, roughly once a year, this will be year three. This story is great and could go interesting places, it's sad to see that it hasn't yet.
Checking in after... 6 years. Sad to see it was never finished. Hope you're doing well.
Just want to let you know you still have fans out there! I hope you finish the story some day soon. (If you do, I will buy you a pizza.)

Six years since I first discovered your writing. Hope you are well.
Been a few years, checking in as I do.
