* Thoroughly averted by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3779251/Ocadioan Ocadioan's]] Literature/InheritanceCycle fanfic series "A Dance of Shadow and Light". It spanned two years, four main stories(and one set of side stories), 600k words and every single chapter was on time in an already explained schedule, to the point of the author even apologizing once for being five ''hours'' late (and uploading chapters earlier if he thought there was a good chance of him not being able to do so on the specified day). Not to mention the [[ReferenceOverdosed Reference Overdose]] that probably took ''way'' more time to figure out.

* As it has progressed ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has fallen a couple of times into this. Chapter 22 was posted in August of 2016, and Chapter 23 didn't follow until Christmas Day that same year. The author explained that there were a lot of reasons for this, and the chapter's length may have also been a factor, as previous long chapters like chapters 17 and 20 suffered similarly long writing times. Chapter 27 also took several months to release, and notably like the above two was immensely long. Though more recently it has been lessened, as the author has begun splitting some long chapters to post on a more regular basis, and has gotten help from other writers.

And then she started taking writing and acting classes, and the fic now sits untouched after over 6 months of inactivity.
