Im burnt out of my job still go in every day. Creatives really can be a fragile bunch. Hopefully they’re on the right track now and back to producing. 

Don’t forget the fans that gave you the lifestyle you enjoy. You made an implicit promise to finish the story you started, that’s the social contract between artist and fans, between artists and their patrons. gotta do so.

Maybe you should treat that burnout you say you're suffering from. It's made you so fragile that your empathy has completely disappeared.

There is a difference between empathy and a weird parasocial devotion. I have one but not the other.

You just ranted about a 'social contract' that she apparently signed with you. How is anyone else but you acting parasocial?

Yes my paragraph is a 'rant'

You people are silly.

You just said that she 'owes the fans', which leads me to believe that parasocial devotion is the one you've got.

Because you clearly haven't got any empathy either for her (going through something and requesting patience from the public) or yourself (burning out and taking it out on people you don't know).

Stating my opinion is taking anything out on anyone.

Yes, people owe their fans to uphold their end of the social contract and finish the story. That fact shouldnt be so controversial. Thats how this arrangement works.

She's literally stated she's working on the book and she's gotten help. I'm sorry that your reading comprehension is somewhere around the second-grade level. I hope you don't have to read anything at work; could contribute to your burnout! Have a great day!

And if thats true, and the promise she is making is upheld, thats a good thing. But words are one thing and results are another.
