Date: 2016-09-14 03:42 am (UTC)Erm....... all of them?? *shoves piles of unfinished fic toward the internet* I am SO BAD at finishing fics; there have been many times in my life where, while reading over something I've written in the attempt to write more, I've wished that somebody else would come along and write it for me!
There are also, of course, a number of unfinished fics out there that I desperately wish would be finished by their authors in some kind of magical fandom completion event! Rainjoy's Closer (FMA fandom) is probably top of the list right now, but I still harbour secret yearnings for Midnight_Blue's The Mirror of Maybe and Caecilia's Elective Affinities (HP fandom) too! Not to mention Askerian's Back to the Garden and Jumpingjacktrash's General Vantas Gets Hitched (Homestuck fandom) and plenty of others!
My policy is not to read WIP fics, but as you can see, sometimes it's a policy more honoured in the breach. :D
