There are several reasons Jane Austen may have abandoned Lady Susan. First of all, it was an epistolary novel, a form that was going out of style. It was different from all of Jane Austen's other works because the main character was rather evil, and the work itself somewhat cynical, and since the author was in her teens when it was written, these may have reflected a stage in her life she outgrew. It was also rather short, so it was probably not something she spent much effort on.
