If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am but a sounding bell or a clanging cymbal... I can never hear that passage without hearing Simon Callow shouting "good point!" a la Four Weddings. /tangent
I'm seeing a very distinct divide between old school and new school fen, in that most of us younger ones (in fandom age, not chronological age) seem more open to the idea of using WIPness as a writing tool, not something to be ashamed of. It's a different approach, but that doesn't make it wrong, and I don't feel that fen with different expectations should require us to meet those standards. WIPs are pretty matter of course these days.
