I could never understand why some people post their stories to RAAS before
they've finished them.  There's just too many never completed stories out
there.  It's just frustrating to the readers (and, maybe, embarrassing to
the writers?)

And I've never understood the complaint.  A number of authors ask for 
feedback to help write the next chapter.  I know I rely on it a little.
Even without that factor, considering how long it takes to write a long 
fanfic, when you're going to release the story in chapter format 
anyway, it's too hard to wait!  Understandable.
Yeah, it's annoying when multi-part stories you enjoy are stopped.  But 
would you rather they never have been posted?  The better complaint is 
against authors who don't finish their stories.
