See, that's exactly what I did. And being the anal little scientist-person I am, I made a spreadsheet of which ones were which, and what plot was happening, because of course they were all H/D and I couldn't remember which one was which. Then it got to the point where I was utterly confused.
Actually, the WIP scenario remindes me of a long-ago job: I was an art-history librarian in charge of periodicals. And it was a shock to discover that not all periodicals were released periodically. Some shrivelled up like a WIP, even though they were ostensibly getting paid for the issues. We'd get them monthly, then they'd skip one or two issues, then one last gasp would come out months later, then nothing.
