WIP Amnesty! Take a look at a fanwork that you've haven't finished and examine your reasons for not finishing it.
I find there's a lot of works that never get finished with no commentary from the author. I'd love to see a work that's been abandoned or unfinished get a few paragraphs on why that is, or for an author to take a look at their oldest WIP, publish a paragraph from it and write about why they haven't worked on/finished it.

Re: unfinished fic
Date: 2019-01-15 05:44 pm (UTC)I finally learned to stop posting works-in-progress. Now I've very neurotic about that. Even if it looks like I'm posting a WIP, I'm just proofreading the later chapters. I don't start posting until the last chapter is done. I wrote myself into so many corners before I learned the importance of that.
The thing is... re-reading this old stuff, it's not nearly as terrible as I remember it. It had this spontaneity. I do miss that joy of sharing an idea the instant it occurs to you even if it didn't have a plot or a point.
