Re: WIPs

[fingalsanteater]

There was this decent Slytherin!Harry story- one of the best ones I'd read, tbh- that I had been reading for a while (this was last year sometime). Then, the authors jumped fandoms to the next big thing, leaving a passive aggressive parting note telling the readers that they didn't want to put any more effort into a fic that wasn't getting much attention. The thing was, IT WAS a decently popular fic as far as I could tell. I always left nice comments and so did others. Ugh. The whole thing just irritated me, and still does.

I hate getting 20 chapters into a WIP and then the story takes a stupid or offensive turn. That's happened to me a few times too.

Honestly, I don't think I'd touch something 800k words long unless it were done. Really long fic like that just seems to sit and spin its wheels, never really going anywhere or getting somewhere slow because it's too bloated. I had this problem with a long WIP I tried to read last week.

I once started reading one of those super!smart Harry fics that was a regularly updated WIP. One day, out of the blue, the author leaves a really passive aggressive message saying he's deleted all 150k of it off his hard drive and isn't going to continue it at all because he was going to get himself ready to start an art degree at uni in the next couple of months.

It was hilarious and distressing at the same time.
