This story is not dead. It is currently being posted on royalroadl {dot} com (also known as RRL) under the username "raga", story name "Far Strider". Currently (as I write this note) there is a post a day, and this will continue until my backlog of 54 chapters (again, as of this note) is cleared.
So, why have I decided to stop posting on FFN? Well, I mostly write for the fun of writing; while posting to multiple sites helps get more readers, it's really just a pain in the ass for the writer, especially with sites using different formats (docx support for FFN, bbcode for RRL). RRL also allows embedded graphics (like maps), and doesn't do weird things in an effort to kill links.
Eventually, I want to write original stories (I'm actually working on several). RRL both allows that (so I can build up a readership of people who like my writing and are willing to give an original work of mine a shot), and supports monetization through and . Given my status as a gradually-going-broke graduate student, that last part's really important.
