Usually I avoid WIP's like the plague until they're finished are almost finished. That way if I read it and start to get drawn in I don't have to come to a stopping point and then have to wait for an update like everyone else.
The only WIP fic that I'm following right now that's actually updated regularly is a Rose/Scorpius fic, and those updates are sporadic.
I've also noticed that whenever I add a story onto my 'Alerts' or decide that "Hey, I'm going to follow this fic!", then the author immedialtly stops updating. And then never updates again. So yeah, I've had rotten luck.

Well that was a nice little contradiction right there. Please ignore me, I've been reading Zutara fic for the past couple of hours or so and my brain is all full and tired.
See, I don't have a the patience to wait for a story to finish before reading it. But maybe I should because if I only read completed stories, my "to read" list would be A LOT smaller. That will be new thing: don't start a story that isn't completed.
Avatar fic (or Zuko/Katara fic, rather) is either a hit or miss. I did the thing that you should not do, which is start off with what seems to be the Holy Grail of all Zutara fics. It's Stormbenders by Fandomme and it's one of the best fanfictions I've ever read. It's really well thought out with a nice mixture of action, romance, and humor (including some epic use of innuendo). Plus it's set during Season 3, after Zuko has joined up with the Avatar, which is my favorite time frame. So yeah, I definitely recommend that one. Unfortunately it's spoiled me and I haven't found another fic that's matched it yet. I've had trouble finding a story where Zuko is not totally OOC. Katara and Aang as well, now that I think about it.
You're going to strangle me, but I already have my own Zutara fic planned out as soon as I finish up all my J/B stories I have going on.

You're a machine! Holy crap. I wish I had your writing tenacity.
