When an author intentionally acts like their work is complete until the bottom of the last page, baiting interested readers and inflating their fic stats to further the illusion.
An author I really like just started fic baiting (v) all their recent works and now I don't think I can trust them anymore because nothing they've actually written is finished despite the tags.

Get the Fic Baiting (v)mug. Browser Baiting is when you do internet searches for strange and odd things that you do not want just to trick the browser int displaying ads for those things.
I did a bunch of browser baiting last night. Looked for "eel shoes", "rubber volcanos" and "plastic pants". Getting some seriously odd stuff today.

A woman who has it all, beauty, grace, heart, that attracts the top of the game man, strong, handsome and heart, always there to protect her. It takes a king to take care of a queen.
She is king bait and doesn't yet know it. she is king bait and she knows it. She is king bait and wonders why so many men follow her. She has it all.
