Tracking WIPs
Mar. 15th, 2012 03:17 pmRandom question, out of interest.
If you have a paid account and can track WIP fics, how many have you got on the go right now? I was just discussing this on twitter and when I went and counted I seem to be tracking 109 (it was 112 but 3 were actually finished and I hadn't cleared them off the list). Some of these are actually unfilled prompts I am still following on the off chance, but most are fics.
I am also tracking 9 fics on AO3.
I think I partly use tracking as an unofficial bookmarking system, but I'm also someone who never quite gives up on a fic being finished, no matter how many years it has been. One day 'The One Where Arthur Knows Merlin Is Beautiful' will be updated. ONE DAY. I also use fics, whether finished or not, as daydreaming material and will often 'continue' abandoned wips in a hundred different ways in my head for fun :)
ETA: GUYSSSSSSSSSSSS 'SKINNY' WAS JUST UPDATED. ALL THE WAY FROM AUGUST 2009. THE GOD OF WIPS HEARD MY WHINING. (warning: fic is about model Arthur having an eating disorder).
