Beware the WIP...

[kellifer]

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 don't read wips unless I know the author has a history of finishing them. Even then, I tend to wait until they're done. Been burned too many times.

I'm starting to get that way too... I stopped reading any wips on ff.net because they had a habit of just peetering out... but am getting a little gun shy here aswell now... boo!
