I almost never post a WIP; I'm posting a fic now in pieces, but only because it's already written... I'm fiddling as I'm posting, but minor stuff... so technically it's a WIP but it's kinda not.
And, honestly, I'm getting more feedback and interaction on the smaller posts than I ever would have gotten from posting it in one piece. So that's an attraction for working on a bigger piece and then parsing it out when it's done.
I read a ton of WIPs... although sometimes it depends on the author on how invested I get... there are some folk I trust to actually finish the fic and others I give a chance to... so I subscribe to the fic and check the progress and read it when it's closer to the end...
But if it's a good start, I'll try to make a comment on that first part, mostly so the author has some feedback, as well as an incentive to keep going... who knows, maybe a couple of enthusiastic responses on a first chapter will help keep someone motivated...
I do have like a bazillion notices in my mail about 'next chapter posted' that I poke at to see what might look interesting... ;-)
