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!!!

The reason I don't post WIPs is because I'd be terrified that I couldn't actually finish the story... I've had stories that have run into the ground and I can't think of a way to finish them so abandon them, but thankfully nothing I've started posting.
I'm the same as you... it would drive me insane to have something unfinished sitting out there... it would be the other undropped boot, mocking me with its undroppped bootness.
unresolved chord.
That's a lovely term...
