What Equinophobia did in four months... · 4:28am Jan 16th, 2015
It's Just Anatomy! did in four days.
Can't say I'm surprised considering the popularity of lewd stories. 
Anyway, I have a question to all you beautiful readers out there. As I'm sure some of you noticed, I have a distinctly small amount of stories I've posted for the amount of months I've been here, even more so when you include how long I've been writing before joining. The reason for this is because I've been following a system of having up to three, preferably two incomplete stories up at a time that I focus on before moving onto something else. Although this keeps me on task and more consistent in updating, it's cut back on the amount of works I've put up.
So, my question to all of you is whether you all like this way or another style where I can put up multiple stories at once at the price of taking up to weeks longer to update them. Note that I usually take a week to write a chapter for a long story like Years (Set in Stone) and a little bit less for one shots. A good example of this style would be BronyWriter, who has maybe a dozen incomplete stories that are updated periodically.
Thanks! 
I think faster updates would be more pleasing than having multiple but very slow stories.
2726076 I agree with this fine gentleman with the nice suit.
2726076 2726105 i agree as well!
I have entirely too many stories that only update three times a year on my watchlist already to prefer that approach, but thanks for asking.
I'd also agree on faster updates for posted stories vs a long cycle of updating a dozen stories at once.
That said though, you should go with whatever fits your writing style best. I know it can be great to have two-ish stories at once so you can refresh the brain switching between them, but it can get to be a juggling act with too many at once.
Keep to whatever style works best for you.
Faster updates seems like the better idea, but your the author.
DO NOT put up multiple stories at once. Two is the big max, and even that's stretching it. I'm guilty of doing the multiples because I got scared and stressed at one point that I wouldn't be able to write here again. Keep it at two and you'll do fine.
I would like to have fast updates.
From a reader's point of view, no one wants slow updates, so the answer is obvious...
From a writer's point of view, I think you shouldn't get too many stories going on at once. It can be nice to have more than one, so you can change your mind now and then. For example, writing only a dark, gory story gets tiring, so having some light comedy going on can keep you from giving up on it.
But if you can't get more than one chapter a month out and have for example six ongoing stories at the same time, that means that they will update twice a year... Your readers will get tired of waiting and even you are going to start forgetting about the story after so long.
TL;DR: my advice is: two stories is OK, three if you're really confident that you can write pretty fast all the time. More than that is just too much.
Just set a time to sit down to write whatever you like.
The fact that you limit yourself to 3 incomplete stories shouldn't reduce the amount of text you produce at the time significantly in my opinion.
My god, that's a weird sentence ; but it does say everything I wanted to say in a single sentence.

It's pretty clear as to what the readers would prefer, and it's what I personally prefer, so I think I'll stick to what I've been doing. Occasionally I'll probably throw up an extra story I think of, but it will most likely be a one shot or a short story.

Thanks to all of you for your feedback.
Now if only I could finally finish up that chromatic story.

Writers block?
2734990 Lack of motivation coupled with two incomplete stories I like a lot more. I've already planned out what happens but have yet to write it.
2735002 So is just simple procrastination then?
