How do you feel about posting a WIP? Have you ever done it? Did it work out for you?

I have one posted WIP. I've been working on it for over a decade. It currently stands at about 190,000 words. I'm not sure how much more I have to write. I have mixed feelings about having posted it as a WIP. On the one hand, I'm making people wait a very long time for the ending of the story. On the other hand, I've met some very good people through the story, and I suspect I have more readers for it than I would if I started posting it today (most people have moved on from the fandom). I have decided that I won't post more than one WIP at a time because I don't want to distract myself. I'm determined to finish this one first.
