Well it's a bit weird you want the author to invest their time to finish it, but you don't want to invest your own time to read what's already there.

I don't think it's about time investment at all; OP sounds like they're saving that time for when they know they'll get a finished story. I know as a writer it's kinda rough that so many people don't read WIPs, but it's nothing to guilt-trip.

As a reader I honestly don't think it's worth the time to read something that might never be finished. Like OP, whenever I see a WIP with an interesting premise, I'll save the link & keep checking back until it's completely done before ever starting to read it (or I'll delete the link if that looks like it's never happening).

I've learned better than to waste my time & energy only to be let down later when the story never ends up getting any closure!

da

Totally agreed with this. Call me entitled if you like, but I'm rubbish at at envisioning my own ending/closure, so I really do hate it when I get invested and then a WIP is just abandoned.

That's not entitled though. That's just a preference. What's entitlement is when you make demands about what's allowed to be written based on them. That goes for any reading preference.

Agreed. It's like starting to watch a movie, only to have it end halfway through and then you never get to see the ending. Why would I waste my time and get excited for something that's only going to let me down?
