DC I vote for letting the underwhelm show, TBH. If everyone's gracious and understanding and enthusiastic about receiving half-finished fic, it just normalizes the practice and makes the authors think it's okay.

Hell, I'd make it clear they were busted, even if there was enough there in the end for me to compliment some of it. I'm a last minute finisher myself, but after the last minute is beyond the pale, and they deserve to know they fucked up, not kid themselves they got away with it.

I'd be tempted to quote the last line of a fic and call out what an interesting ending it is.

That would probably backfire.
