Fic Baiting (v)

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.
