looking to connect with writer xleglover

[SamWarrens]

xleglover wrote several series of stories with characters Mike & Jen but stopped in April 2016 with a story line half finished.
I've heard he left Literotica (Why?)
Some one noted he went to another site, but I can't get that site to work and all emails to it are returned as undeliverable.
Does anyone know his email address so I can contact him.
If he's not writing anymore I'd like to finish the story line he left open.

Why finish a storyline he left open? Why not write your own storyline. That way you aren't dependent on someone else's work, drawing off their claim to fame. I would be mad if someone tried to finish some of my written work I had posted and left unfinished personally. But, before I left something posted here unfinished, I would have everything removed and go elsewhere with my stories. Just saying.

A debate ran on this not so long ago (in Authors Hangout) - the ethics of "taking over" someone's story line. The consensus, if I recall correctly, was - don't do it. It's like saying, "oh, I liked Lolita, I think I'll write "Lolita goes to Vegas." No, you're not Nabakov. The writer can take his characters elsewhere, but you should leave them alone - especially if the writer has pulled all of their work from Lit and gone to another site. If that's the case, that's a conscious decision to protect their own intellectual property.

As Kant says, write your own stories, create your own characters and plots. Be yourself, not a wannabe.

odd forum for the OP to be asking in, too? story feedback?

The OP asked in order to get in contact with the author to seek permission (at least that's how I read it). That's the proper step to take. If the author doesn't mind and gives permission, there's no ethical problem. If the OP can't get in touch with the author, though, no it wouldn't be ethical just assume permission and add to the series. The OP hasn't indicated an intent to do this if permission isn't obtained, though.

thanks for clearing that up.
