By the time I actually start posting, I have enough of the story drafted (not just in my head; my head is not reliable) that I feel confident I won't get stuck. I may take some things that readers say into account here and there, but the basic plot is set. And I do like to mention in the first A/N how committed I am to the story, how many words I've already written just in rough draft, because I know people can be wary... but I don't know how much good that does. I mean, I'm sure readers have seen that sort of declaration before and then still been disappointed by a promising story getting abandoned anyway. They're all jaded!

But man... it's just not a good idea to get your chapter content from readers like that! What happens when they have conflicting ideas? Which they will. You can't make everyone happy, and if you try, you won't have a coherent story in the end.

Also, I suspect that people who tell me they only read completed works, and then never actually read my stuff after I DO complete it, are simply letting me down easy because they know they'll never read it and just don't want to say so.
