If the WIPs appear once on the regular update listing (when they are first added to the archive) and then again when they're completed, it seems to me that they're getting adequate exposure. But I may be underestimating the extent to which the serial nature of many stories affects this issue. Simply put, there are a lot of extended works that authors put a lot of time into (here I'm thinking of ginmar's 100,000 word-plus 'Affinity). These stories wouldn't exist but for the ability to serialize.
Maybe you could compromise: bump up the WIP every five chapters that are updated, or something. That's a pretty informal way of going about it, but it could refresh the stories in readers' minds.
Finally, thanks for soliciting our opinions! You could have monkeys organize the site and I'd still keep coming back. 'Cause I love it.
