I think it is okay to mark an abandoned fic complete if and only if the writer makes it clear that it is abandoned upfront. Put it in the summary, in the author's notes before the first chapter, and/or the tags.

It's NOT okay.

The point of that tag is to only have complete fics come up in a search. Tagging an incomplete fic with it then putting 'lol sorry I abandoned it' is garbage behaviour.

It's reach-spamming, just like tagging every possible ship when only one features is reach spamming.

Sure, it gets more eyes on your work if you lie in the tags, but everyone who has to scroll past it thinks you're a dickbag.

ayrt

It's okay to me. It's no longer a work-in-progress since there won't be any more progress. I mean, I've read works that have ended with giant surprise cliffhangers, and those are technically completed. I guess I don't see that much difference with a work marked as abandoned, except it would be less frustrating to me, since it would be marked. I'm not sure why scrolling past is such a problem, but if everyone marked them as abandoned, you filter them out.
