    Hiatus generally means (((dropped))) if my experience on rrl and some other sites is any indication.
    Although officially it should mean author is temporarily taking a break from writing the novel.

    It was asked on QI's forums and CKtalon replied that the author's father is sick so the author has taken a break from writing.

    That means the author stopped writing and he won't write again from months to possible years. I know a few things that went on hiatus and we had to wait 6 years before author started working again

    Sadly this is the case in most cases of hiatus. Still, a hiatus notice is better than the author just dropping of the face of the planet. I can't count the number of novels, which went from daily updates to 0, not even a slow down, that hints at how the muse is not working with the author. It just makes me check daily in the hopes that maybe it is just an emergency, that will be resolved in a week or two, or at least an update will happen that explains why the author can't write. I know that this sounds quite entitled, but daily updates create an expectation that these will continue unless stated otherwise. Or forget about the novels storyline entirely only to see an email come into my filtered inbox for it and wonder what the story is before just skipping it.

    So, we are bound to wait for an undetermined period of time.
    May the system help us speed up this wait !
