My experiences in reading fan fiction have taught me to hate Works-in-Progress and to avoid the completed story where the author posts a chapter a week. It's way too much work to keep track of and if the author dies you'll never get to read the end! I read a lot and I tend to forget to go back and finish the story. Also every time a reader leaves the story there is a chance they may not come back to finish it.
That authors would want to go this route in published fiction boggles my mind. People use Charles Dickens as an example but times are different now.
