There is an online writer of serials whose work I generally enjoy. But the latest story -- not unlike some others in my memory -- has simply gone on too long, and I've lost interest. In my mind the story resolved months (and chapters) ago, and everything that came after has been just boring, because all the tension is gone.
Is it helpful to tell a writer this? Or is it likely to just seem peevish and insulting to say something like that? A lot of online writers seem to do this with their favorite characters.

I told her because I would have wanted to know (even if I didn't take the advice, I'd give it some thought). But I didn't tell her that I decided not to start reading her next story because even though I liked her characters and plot (for the most part) I didn't think I could deal with another 3/4-of-the-story's-length ending.
