I don’t mind reading WIPs, but I don’t bookmark them, and I don’t generally check back on them frequently, even if they seem to be on a regular posting schedule. I don’t assume that they will necessarily be finished. If I remember in a couple weeks or couple months about one and go find it, and it has been added to, that’s cool, if not, oh well.

I was recently reminded why I usually follow this method. Three months ago, I found a really good fic with the author updating every two to four days and every new chapter was really good, so I’d been checking it every day and then three weeks ago, they said there might be a delay on the next parts of a few more days. But since then, nothing. I’m not mad at them or really frustrated or anything like that. The problem is that once the deadline of those extra few days passed, my mind went straight to them being dead. I mean, it is possible (decades ago, an author whose WIP I’d been following died in an accident), but there are far more likely and innocuous explanations, like them being busy or not inspired.

So, I don’t usually keep up with WIPs, because when authors stop posting, my brain is pessimistic about this, and it makes me sad.
