I think it’s somewhat of a vicious cycle.

Writer starts a long WIP. Few people read it because they don’t trust that it will be finished and don’t want to be left wanting or unsatisfied. Writer feels discouraged, as if they’re screaming into the void rather than sharing something with the community. Writer drops the story, assuming that no one really cares. Readers who were following along, perhaps with much excitement, are left wanting and unsatisfied, thus becoming less likely to read another WIP in the future.

Ultimately, readers don’t owe writers anything, and vice-versa. I myself don’t read WIPs except by friends, and even then, I don’t get too invested. (Besides that, I don’t want to remind myself what happened in each of these fics every time they update. Honestly, that might be a bigger factor for me lol.)

I read fics to be entertained, not to validate the author or befriend them, even though they’re providing this for free. That’s just the simple truth.

Now that I’ve been on the other side of it, as a writer of a very long WIP, I still wouldn’t read a WIP by an unknown author. However, I’m much more likely to leave comments to express my appreciation now that I know how valuable that can be.
