Hey! Welcome to the Sentinel side (or welcome back ;).
The only thing that would annoy me is if the work in progress was never finished.
This is one reason why I vowed never to post a WIP again. Luckily I've only got one that I may never finish (in another fandom and I pulled it off the web quite a while ago). I also don't like posting WIP because I tend to re-work earlier scenes as I go along. No matter how well I pre-plot, things change on me. Even though I know that I could update stuff that's already been posted, I find myself reluctant to do that for some reason. It's like, in my mind, once something is posted it's cast in stone.
Because I know how I feel about my own WIPs (and why I won't post them), I will rarely read anyone else's WIPs. Contrarily, the only way that I will read a WIP is if I don't really care about it (When Hellmouths Collide is the only one I can think of that I've *cared* about that I continued to read as a WIP). Which is why I probably *won't* read Martha's story until it's completed. :-)
