You know, there are some authors who never finish their WIPs. And I don't mean that they leave some of them unfinished - I never finished a couple of mines either but I did learn from my mistakes - but all of them. They start a multi-parter and after a couple of chapters, they drop it. And that's why, no matter how great their new idea might sound, I steer away from their fics altogether.



When reading fics, I don't usually use the ?style=mine command to make the other user's LJ look like mine. I mean, the various layouts are a part of the fun too. I use it only when the user's LJ is unreadable to me - I hate dark background with dark text or light background with light text. I have to squint to read it and that makes my eyes hurt.

But what about you?

I tend to steer away from WIPs as well... I stuck with one from the HP fandom, and it's been a year since I left it, and the author is still only up to like, Chapter 7.

I hate reading stories that don't get finished, so I hardly EVER read WIPs.

A long time ago, when I used to write fanfiction for various anime series, I wrote multiparters and some of them still remain unfinished. But I learned my lesson and now I write only short fiction with possible sequels and I never actually promise to write one X)
