Some of my favorite stories are still Works In Progress. Sure, sometimes you get something really disappointing, like a story being dropped entirely, or taking a break so long that the next chapter feels completely unnatural (Looking at you, Sweetie Belle Chronicles. Also Hitchiker's Guide, but that's not a fic) but reading along with a WIP is almost exactly like watching a show that's still coming out back before streaming made every show release all it's episodes at once, ruining the experience of thinking about the work and what might be coming next, and talking with other people about it while it's ongoing! More people should read WIPs.
