Sky I like the concept of something being called chapterized rather than a WIP, I had not really realized the distinction before. I think there are several other reasons why authors might do that, in addition to increasing the number of reviews. It's not just getting the reviews that's helpful, it's also (at least on FF.net) looking at the patterns of the hits and the stats. I love that feature. If you don't break it down, you might not ever really know what people do or don't like- what is said in the reviews is a certain kind of feedback, but traffic patterns are an entirely different kind. Releasing the story in intervals increases the value of that data.
Also authors can change, correct or add to a story based on reviews themselves. Chapterization can also provide the discipline necessary to do a good job on each chapter and not rush through it.
