WIP and WUSS

[dagronrat]

Hi you all,
Am still being topped by essay (I can't believe it's still not finished) but in the rare moments where I was weak enough to allow myself a break in the form of "Web Surfing" I've come across some interesting debate.

No, I'm not talking about the Boldthrough even if that is worrying me a bit. (Just as I don't want to post overly *yaknow* fic to FF.net, I don't want to post that kind of fanart to D@. I was hoping to post both types of contents on LJ, if ever I came to actually, you know, make some. Which seems growingly unlikely at the moment, but still.)

I'm talking about a Debate I've come across about WIP and WUSS.
Aka Works In Progress and Completed Fic(Waiting for Updates Sucks Society).
Which, ya'know, basically boils down to why people should or shouldn't post multiparter fics when the end is not already written.

The two persons debating this are inusaga and akarii, and there have been four posts so far apparently.

Here they are in Order:

"The WUSS position on WIP" -> "Why I like The WIP" -> "WUSS debate part II" -> "WIP part II"

I haven't read the two latest posts yet, but from what I've seen it's some very interesting debate. I'm curious about your own impressions (especially Claude and FS, I admit, but others too,) and I'm sure the two posters would welcome any input.

Right, I'm gonna go back to me essay before I start typing like, ya'know, Heiji or something. ^^;

As I said to Dag, I wouldn't have cared if it was only a reader explaining why he is avoding WIP or an author explaining why he prefer to post stories only when it's finished.

Each one his own.

But when someone is explaining to me that WIP are the evil and that only iresponsible/stupid author and attention whore are worth to write this kind of story, it's harder for me to keep my temper.

I respect different opinion, as long my opinions are respected as well.

Ditto the last line.

Though lately I've been changing so that my only reaction is to lift an eyebrow and look amused when people take things too seriously.

*lifts an eyebrow at the whole argument* *looks amused*

I should act like that.

Lookings at evrything in the smae way I look at harry potter fandom, like something whioch is definitly worth of laugh and not tears and anger.XD

But if I act like that, I will lose the pleasure to lost my temper and beeing condescending and harsh!
(shudders)
I've the right to be a wanker too!Xp

XDDDDD

It is fun to lose your temper once in a while. And lol at your icon. XD

But problem is, it's usually not too fun when people lose theirs first...
