Question What is a WIP?
People on here always quote lines from their "WIP"..? What is it? Should I have one?

Right here in this very FAQ forum is a scintillating list of abbreviations and terms: FAQ: The Absolute Write Dictionary

LOL, it wasn't like these comment's weren't foreseen. When using a word that sounds like whip, references is BDSM are usually not far behind.
