Unfortunately, they all seem to get mixed up in my mind and I end up having to re-read the last chapter every time they're updated.
That is the god's truth, isn't it? When I first fell into fandom, I think I read every WIP out there, and I made myself an anal little spreadsheet of plots and characters. And, lo, nearly 2 years later, most of those fics are still WIPs, having a few or even no updates. So now I'm ultra-picky about starting one. And it's hard - god, I wanted to read Trade when everyone else was all excited about it. Even though she updated very regularly. But the impact of reading it all at once was worth it.
I can be all "oh, I only post completed stuff" because of the random way I write. One of the last parts of DSOT written was Draco's letter in the prologue - and that's hard to go back and fix in a WIP.
