You can put me down in the finish-the-story-and-then-post camp, too.
I've had too many experiences with stories which are 90% finished, then sit that way for weeks, if not months. If I'd been posting, I'd have been in deep doo-doo. <g>
Kathy, exactly! And you are quite right about the doo-doo. However, you forgot to mention the pangs of guilt a writer feels for leaving a story half-finished! As a reader I hate that
so much. As a writer, I'm guilty of it.
I've twice started stories here and have then gone into hiding for long periods of time, and I hereby solemnly vow not to do it again.
In both cases, also, I found that I had to go back to very early parts and edit them in order to make the continuity work throughout the story, which means that posting as I go along just doesn't work for me.
