Re: How long do you wait for WIPs to update before giving up on them?

[(Anonymous)]

I usually check what the post date is for the work and when the latest update was in relation to how many chapters there are. If the writer seems to have a pretty steady update schedule I'll keep track of the WIP and I have a lot of leniency for gaps. But if there's only a few chapters and there hasn't been an update in a while I won't touch it because I know it's likely there won't be any more. Writers who generally keep people posted on updates, let people know when there's a hiatus or have other finished works can usually be trusted. But I never give a hard no to WIPs like some people because 1. I post as I go too 2. I know it can be important for some writers, motivation wise, to have people interacting with the story as they go 3. life can get in the way and this isn't there job so I'm not too hard on people who have a wonky update schedule.

Basically if the update schedule seems stable, the writer keeps their audience posted, and they seem active in engaging with other people's works (commenting and bookmarking things, having other fandom related social media they're active on) then I know their WIP will likely some day be a finished work because they're very engaged with things. Also if they're getting a decent amount of feedback from me and other people I know they'll continue to feel motivated and excited to keep posting. I like engaging with WIPs in this sense because I know for the people writing them it's important to have feedback throughout the process.
