* 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). The real kicker is that people have to actually pay to read the majority of the comics past the most recent updates, and they ''still'' can't reliably expect the comics they want to read to continue. It's easier to count the subversions than list them all, but the most notable dropped series include:
** ''Automatic'' was a mecha series that fumbled without ever reaching its stated premise before, yes, the author, Hai, got a publishing deal and took the comic down entirely. Ironically, the ''same'' author did a series called ''Blade for Barter'', the book for which he got the deal, and this too became an orphaned series after just one volume due to low sales.
