Is My Hockey Alpha Stebrother Wants ME Finished Or Ongoing?

If you've been glued to 'My Hockey Alpha Stebrother Wants ME', here's the rundown I’ve picked up from reading the author notes and following discussions around it: it’s currently not marked as completed. From what I can tell, the story is ongoing but has had stretches of irregular updates — the author posts chapters in batches sometimes, and there's often a note about needing time for real-life stuff, so it feels like an active work-in-progress rather than a finished novel. That distinction matters because even when a work feels very close to a satisfying arc, until the author tags it as 'Completed' or publishes a clear final chapter, it's technically ongoing.

I usually check a few things to confirm the state of a story, and those signs point to it still breathing. First, the chapter list includes a recent chapter that doesn't tie up every plot thread — there are dangling subplots, emotional arcs that still need resolving, and the author has left explicit 'to be continued' notes in their posts. Second, the author profile or the story’s metadata often lacks the 'Completed' label; instead you'll see notes about future plans, promised arcs, or a note about taking a break. Third, community activity in the comments and discussion threads often references upcoming scenes people are waiting for. Taken together, these are the classic signs of an ongoing romance/fanfic that isn’t wrapped up yet.

If you want to keep up without missing anything, my favorite low-effort tricks are following the author on the platform where the story’s hosted, turning on notifications for new chapters, and bookmarking the story’s main page — that way you see an update as soon as they drop one. I also like scanning the author's “about” or pinned posts because many writers will be upfront about timelines, hiatuses, or whether they plan to write epilogues. Subscribing to a comment thread or joining a small fan group can help too, since other readers will often repost or flag when a new batch is live. For folks who hate cliffhangers, checking whether there's an off-site compilation (like an ebook or a finished rewrite) can be a lifesaver, but treat those as separate from the canonical ongoing version unless the author says otherwise.

On a personal note, I get why people are anxious to know if it's finished — the chemistry in 'My Hockey Alpha Stebrother Wants ME' is addictive and the character development is the kind that makes you re-read chapters. Even if it's ongoing, I'm enjoying the ride: the slow-burn beats, the family/stepparent tension turned romantic, and the bits of sports-life detail that give the setting extra flavor. I'm hoping the author keeps going and gives us a satisfying payoff, but until they stamp it 'Completed', I’m tracking updates and savoring each chapter as it arrives.
