Sad to say, but it could happen. In the world of Adult Comics, there are various examples of great authors suddenly disappeared. I think about Kovacq, Shiniez, Fernandez...Whatever are their reasons, each of them left some work unfulfilled.
I don't know the reasons of Sleepy, but I suspect something
personal behind the "official" version he claimed. And we have to respect his choice and take it as it is. Even if it means that might come out some
drastic news.
Ciao, Longmire.

I remember a discussion about it. Since "
To catch a thief" comes
after "
Family Values", we have some sure clues about how FV will end:
- Freddie won't break Evie's control.
- Carmilla won't appear to disrupt Evie's plans.
- Evie won't suffer any side effects from Cupido elixir.
- The relationship between Evie and Violet will remain untouched.
The only unknown fact is
why Freddie is kept tied up and hidden in the attic at the beginning of "
To catch a thief"...but honestly this is an irrelevant detail. FV has nothing more to offer to the main plot, right now it's just an endless sequence of sex without a narrative direction. The sooner it ends, the better is (imho).
On the other hand,
To break a thief (or its next chapter) has much more potential for development, due to the many questions still open:
- What happened to Carmilla after the accidental injection of Cupido?
- Where did Nancy go after the Black Fox was captured?
- How will end the sub-story of the pendrive? Will it simply conclude with Trixie's confession...or will there be an unexpected twist?
- Is Freddie still tied up in the attic? Will he left totally out from the current "revolution" inside the LeFey family?
- The role of Leopold was just to inform Carmilla about the nasty behaviour of Evie? Nothing more?
Let's see...
