Question And Blaghs · 12:02am Apr 11th, 2014
First of all, my good buddy and compadre Garnot just did an informative blagh about Mary Sues that y'all should definitely check out. Hell, give it a look even if your character's name isn't Mary! Sure to be a good read for characters of all names!
Anywhores, on the other side of business, just a general consensus screening. For longer oneshots, would you all prefer if I post them in smaller chapters, or in one big piece? Like, which do your prefer overall? Thanks for the help!
And you all are just FABULOUS, ya know that?

One big piece, please.
one big piece.
I still wonder just how in tartarus you find time even with your busy and now married life to write all of the fics that you do.
So Phab.
Smaller chapters. It really depends on how long the story is though. Let's say, if it's under 10k words, keep it a one shot, but if it's over 12/13k words, then split it up.
Of course, if there's not really a part for you to split it at, then oh well.
Do whatever suits you, Bobby.

As time goes by, I find marsupials are far more receptive to smaller bite-sized chapters. I don't mean to suggest you should go all Da Vinci Code on the Internet's heiney, but maybe relegate stuff to less than 10k an installment.
In other words, don't do what I do. X_X

Do as he says, not as he do's!
These are dark times indeed...
I like my chapters like I like my women: With meat on their bones. Anything less than 5k is generally a sad state of affairs.
I vote one big piece.
Hey, what's wrong with naming a character Mary? >:x
One big chapter.
