:::Radical though it may be to abandon "unproduced" altogether, I wonder if we might not start using "''uncompleted''" stories for stories that stopped at any stage of production short of a completed final product ready for release, and "''unreleased''" for the ''Absent Friends''s of the world.

::::That's not a bad idea and may be the most technically accurate approach, but my personal feeling is that "unproduced" will more easily convey to people the status of most such stories.  "Uncompleted" doesn't technically imply that production was started on a story, but I could certainly see how someone could take that implication if we used that as the dab term, as the average person doesn't refer to something as uncompleted if it never actually started.
