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!!!

As a reader, I do read WIPs, but I have to remember to flag them as WIPs so that I go back to check once in a while. I know an author who updates her WIP about once every three years or so -- an extreme example, but there you go. And it has to be a very compelling WIP for me to keep track, too. *sigh*
