Chapter Format and August Update · 12:10am Aug 11th, 2014
After some consideration, I have decided to change how I handle chapters. Though I like to create monolithic works as much as possible to maintain narrative consistency, I realize that this has the potential to adversely affect my readers. Most people don't want to sit down and read a 12k word chapter for a story that only updates every 3 months.
I've decided to break my chapters down by scenes and instead of rendering them as "chapters" I will start referring to them as "arcs." Each arc will carry the same narrative quantity as a chapter, but will be broken down into parts, each part being a scene from the chapter.
This new format is intended to do two things: encourage me to write more and promote readership. I will be focusing on developing smaller chunks faster and improving my release schedule so that my readers will have regular content updates to look forward to.
Extant chapters will be kept as they are. The change in chapter formatting will only apply to subsequent chapters. Hopefully this will help out everyone participating in this process.
Happy reading, everypony!
