I avoid most longfic because of this. Unless it's either clear the writer is actually writing to a plot, with a rough beginning middle and end, OR the writer is writing pieces that are each somewhat self-contained so the fragmentedness/evolution-as-you-go thing works, it's very easy for longfic to unravel.

I'm not saying "start with a plot outline," but having a rough approximation of one in your head so you know where you're going will never go amiss, IMO.

I agree. I think most people start out with a good-to-great idea, but many don't have any idea where they want to get to in the story ... and so they just start driving. For a few, this does lead to inspiration and a kick-ass ending, but most just run out of steam.

[stainless]

I feel the same. It's sad to watch fantastic fic derail, but... it does happen, and isn't pretty.

Yeah

I'll read longfic, but I am absolutely merciless with that shit. At the first sign of OOCness, or the first sign that the author doesn't have any idea where they're going, or whatever, I will drop it immediately. I just don't care enough anymore to read something that's poorly executed and meandering.

This right here is why I never post any of my longfic until/unless it's complete. I'd hate to start something, post it chapter by chapter, then run out of ideas halfway through and not finish it.
