Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

As a writer, I have done this several times. I have the fic finished, but I never post the end. In some cases I have even have had it betaed, edited, everything.

The first time this happened, it was because the ending of my fic was going to be in a direction opposite to what all the comments wanted. It was straight guy/bi guy with a crush on him, and it had been made clear all through the fic that that they were not going to get together. Surprise, surprise: they never were.

I just couldn't bring myself to spoil the ending most of my readers already had imagined, even though I had dozens of requests to post it.

Eventually, I lost the whole ending when my hard drive died so that's that.

The next time I didn't post an ending was when I literally had one reader commenting on the fic (a crossover) and then they went. I finished the fic for my own amusement, and never posted the last two chapters, since what was the point. I even marked the fic "this is not a WIP, it's finished" because to me, it was.

So there are many reasons why a fic may be finished, not a WIP, but the writer still doesn't post the ending.
