I have a quick question.
For the writers - have you ever started posted a story you haven't finished?
For the readers - do you read WIPS?
Reason I'm asking is because I never post WIPS, my longer stories are finished when I start posting, just being beta'd usually. I usually don't read WIPS unless it's an author I know but I started reading one that is four parts in, I'm liking it and the author seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.
Argh!! Don't do that to me!!!

I am guilty of this. Mostly I post whole stories or chapters that I try to quickly follow up. But I have written one or two really long stories (10-20 20-page chapters). These I post maybe once a month, but there is never any doubt that I will finish them and it's not like I don't already have the whole story worked out. Lately I have been slacking, though, and I have two unfinished stories out there. And my increasing day by day guilt isn't helping the writer's block as much as I would hope. :)
Does it make me a complete hypocrite if I say no? I prefer to wait until they are finished, though I will read serial works, like dietcokechic's stuff. Which is exactly why partial works of mine are available only on my webpage and ff.net. I don't post to lists until they are complete.

I'm going to say no because I post stories in parts but usually don't read them... so of course not. heh...
Serial works I do see as different...
Oh gawd... I avoid WIPs on ff.net like the plague because that seems to be the central vortex of unfinished stories.
I'm sure I've seen it before but what's your webpage addy? A central repository for AB fic sounds good!!
