I have seen more and more readers on Ao3 mentioning that they don’t read non finished fics.
And I am not here to tell you to read fics that aren’t completed yet, because it’s not my job.
But please, if you subscribe to this policy, be aware that this absolutely contributes to fics never being finished.
Because writing a fic, especially a multi-chaptered-one, takes a lot of time and effort and writers need positive feedback to make it worth it. So if they aren’t getting it, the chance of them dropping the project altogether is significantly higher.
So true I've given up on fics where theres no activity because if no one likes it I lose motivation but if I even just have a gew hits I feel like it's worth continuing
