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

These days I try to avoid doing it. I take so long to write new chapters that I've been working on one WIP for about fourteen years. I don't want to commit to another big WIP until that one is done. I may work in fits and starts on other WIP, but I won't post any of them. I think, when one writes as slowly as I do, that it asks a lot of readers to post a WIP. I'm surprised I still have readers for "Rheotaxis."

I'm in the same situation, with WIPs out there that are being updated very slowly. At the time I started them, I was adding to them once a week, but I just can't do that anymore. I have another I want to post, but I'm not going to until it's finished, or until I'm back in a regular schedule with the others. In spite of my tardiness, I still have readers, which is a miracle.
