My personal frustration has actually been both of these combined.
The writing starts to suck (admittedly, sometimes it wasn't all that great to begin with, but the overall entertainment value was enough to compensate).
But I'm morbidly curious about what happens to characters I've gotten attached to, and then the writer promises and describes upcoming new books in the series for several years, which end up being started but back-burnered over and over again, and then writes vaguely related books in which said characters I've gotten attached to have brief teasing cameo roles, and I want to find out what
their story has been in the meanwhile, not the continuing stories of these other characters I don't care about and really just sit through to catch tantalising glimpses of what happens to my favourites, and
aargh…

Well, there's certainly
Gilgamesh pro-fic, by Robert Silverberg, no less.

There's a
Gilgamesh anime which is probably the closest that you'll be able to get, besides the
cartoon version which appears to take equal, but different, liberties with the original story.
