Ouch! Mind you, because of my packratty hanbit of never throwing anything out, I have WIPs on my external HD going back oh I do not want to think how long.... they'll never be finished (except never say never) but I can't quite throw them away/delete them.)
Maybe they'll come in handy for harvesting bits and sentences and ideas for new stuff :)
I have one like that. My husband and I were writing it together from two points of view, back in the Buffy fandom, and it got to 17 chapters — around 50,000 words — then we were both distracted by other things. The last written chapter was posted in my journal in 2008 but I can't bring myself to delete it from the WIP file.
