History OrphanedSeries / Webcomics

* ''SailorSun'': the author moved to the middle east for employment reasons and while it coughed up a couple of updates for the first few months it's now moribund.

* Many [[Interactive Comic forum adventures]] over at the MSPaintAdventures forums usually end up being abandoned, with very few becoming completed. The completed adventures are indexed [[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?26549-Completed-Forum-Adventures-Table-of-Contents here]], though most are simply gags that only last a few pages.

* ''RaineDog'', for reasons explained on its own page, and DCSimpson's page. Nothing has happened with this comic since 2011.

* A rare UnCanceled example: ''ElfOnlyInn'' went on seemingly permanent hiatus as of August 2004, but reappeared in September 2006 (with the setting moved from chatroom roleplay to an {{MMORPG}}) and has been steadily updating three times per week ever since.Since June 2007, updates have become very erratic and hasn't updated since May 2008.
* ''Ever After''was put on hiatus in 2008 due to the creator having to deal with real life problems. Unfortunately, he decided to focus on other projects afterwards instead and pretty much admitted that it was unlikely the comic would be continued.

* ''RPGWorld'': A particularly nasty example as the strip was up to the final confrontation and near completion when the author, Ian Jones Quartey, finally broke into animation full time. He's since worked on [[TheVentureBros some obscure shows]] [[AdventureTime nobody has ever heard of.]]

* Pretty much every comic on subscription-site [=WirePop=] eventually falls into this. Most have been quietly removed from the site after enough time passes. Of the 17 series that launched the site, a grand total of ''two'' did not end with the author dropping it (those two series, ''Xamra'' and ''Realms Of Ishikaze'' have since had normal endings and no longer update). It's easier to count the subversions than list them all, but the most notable dropped series include:

* ''RPGWorld'': A particularly nasty example as the strip was up to the final confrontation and near completion when the author abandoned it.
** Similarly, a spin-off project, ''Star Something'', a joint project with the author of ''Adventurers!'', fell into a hole around the same time.

* ''Discordia'' (no not that {{UsefulNotes/Discordia}}) hasn't been updated in over two years

* ''{{Thunderstruck}}'' recently shut down, due to Grayson Towler shifting focus to his professional works.

* Arguably, the hand-drawn version of ''BobAndGeorge''; the writer kept returning to the ''Game/MegaMan''-based SpriteComic he'd done as FillerStrips, and finally said "my drawings sucks, screw it" and just imported the hand-drawn storyline into the sprites.

* ''[[http://km.comicgenesis.com/ Kurenai Mashin]]'', a graphic novel about the titular blind elf assassin. It's last update (both comic and site) was back in 2007.

* ''Everlasting Wanderers'', a ''RagnarokOnline'' based webcomic, initially started off as a series of oneshots and random plots. However, once a MythArc started forming, the updates suddenly ceased and site has since then been taken down due to lack of payment.

Of the 17 series that launched the site, a grand total of ''two'' did not end with the author dropping it (those two series, ''Xamra'' and ''RealsOfIshikaze'' have since had normal endings and no longer update). It's easier to count the subversions than list them all, but the most notable dropped series include:

* ''[=~Ghastly's Ghastly Comic~=]'', due to a sudden illness.

* ''The Ditz''

* ''Webcomic/NotInMyBackyard'' may be the oldest example. After rampant ScheduleSlip between June 2000 and January 2001, it got back on schedule for most of that year but abruptly ended in August 2001, and creator Dave Taylor apparently vanished into thin air. Amazingly, the strip is still up.

* ''[[http://www.abstractgender.com/ Abstract Gender]]'', oh ''Abstract Gender''. The webcomic went through four, count em, four artists before the artist well dried up completely. Webcomic died. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xnV7fuxnz8&feature=related But wait, there's more!]] The writer then went on to producing scripts that continued the story.
