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.

In my case, it's more a case of the updates coming faster than I can read them - either authors updating multiple times a week (if not daily!) or waking up to find 10 "this fic you've bookmarked has updated!" emails in my inbox.
Combine that with long stretches of time when I don't read much at all because I don't have the mental capacity to really understand it and it's very easy for chapters to pile up.
