So my goal is to not let that happen. Not sure how I'll tally that - but currently, I've got 4 fics to catch up on.

Goals are personal, so I’m not arguing. But my reaction on reading your post was that to the extent you let chapters pile up, it’s an indication that you’ve lost interest and maybe it’s time to let that particular story go? I always think of daytime soaps and how VCRs were probably an initial boon, but then maybe contributed to their downfall. At first, it meant you could keep up with your stories no matter what else was going on with your life, but eventually, if you had a couple of weeks or more of unwatched episodes, you’d realize you were done. Stefano DiMera’s evil deeds had ceased to compel.
But this is me.
