but i'm not sure whether her first example owes as much to episodic storytelling as it does to excessive worldbuilding, i.e., we have huge universes in which our characters live (drawn from the source text and the fantext) and that's why there's more of an emotional charge...and that happens regardless of WiPs...
(Though I'd argue that the entirety of the fantext is a WiP with every new story adding yet another layer of meaning and characterization and...)
Nothing to say on the second quote except that I've realized lately i not only hate WiPs in fic but also in other mediums...I'm waiting to start temeraire until I have the 3rd book next week; I still have 6 or 7 eps of VM waiting to be watched, b/c I do the waiting till I have several and then do it all in one sittt6ing kind of thing...And I lovelovelove shows on DVD...
