What's the longest time you've let elapse between posting chapters of a story you eventually finished?

Mine's... about five years, I think?

I'd have to look but I think a little over a year. I don't let myself post WIP anymore, I'm too worried about leaving stuff unfinished.

Funny you should ask. Today I finished and posted a shortfic I first started in 2006.

I've had a couple of miraculous draft resurrections like that, but once I've posted something I usually don't let it go too much onto the backburner. It did once take me eight months to finish posting a 7-chapter fic but I usually hate when anything takes longer than a month. I've not done many multi-chapter fics, maybe partly because of that tendency to hate having work looming over me; I mostly just churn out shortfics every couple of weeks.

If I get my old story continued like I want, it'll be nine years.

wow, I gotta say I feel better now about letting several weeks pass since updating one of my fics!

I started a story in 2005, it's still not finished, it's the most popular thing I've written, by far, and I don't think I've posted more than 200 words on it in over a couple of years.

Oops.

I don't post WIPs, and this is exactly why. If I did, it'd be about four years, but fortunately for me, that fic is still sitting in my GoogleDocs, and no one has seen it but me. (Of course, this assumes that I will eventually finish it. I may have to write a cheap nasty PWP first for the main character to get that muse to cooperate, though.)
