I know that I've personally been burnt by so many unfinished fics that I don't read a WIP until it's done. That could be part of it.

I've also found that I get a better response for my own writing when I post it all at once and don't spread it out. (I always only post when I'm done).

I don't know if that helps or makes you feel better, OP (probably not) but I thought I'd say something in case it did.

Thank you for going to work and doing essential things.

I'm seconding this. I always choose complete works only because I've had sooooo many WIP never finish. And if it is indeed novel length, there will be a long time before you'll pop up on the radar of people like me.

I hope you do post it in its completion (even if it's not super polished). I once had a writer (way back when I still tried WIP) state she was abandoning the fic and then write out her bullet point plot rough draft for the rest. I really appreciated it then and I bet your readers would appreciate whatever closure you feel comfortable giving them.

My god, it would be amazing if more authors did this. Even just a paragraph or two summing up where they originally saw the story going/ending would give so much closure.

I agree to all of the above comments complete!

[(Anonymous)]

Same. If I see that something isn't finished, I won't even touch it.

Though the author's perception that "No one's interested in this" often results in "why bother finishing"?

If the premise is interesting, perhaps consider Subscribing to the fic? That way the author knows that there are potential readers out there, and you get notified if the author actually completes the fic.

This is also my sentiment - typically I won't invest my time or emotional energy into reading a WIP fic unless I'm familiar with the author's works and know that they have a good record for finishing WIP.
