In Which Glow (TwiFire) is Finally Published · 4:20pm Feb 13th, 2017
Fuckin' finally, amirite? Only took me nearly two years. Me babbling and discussing posting schedule under the break.
Well, first off, let me just say this is doing way better that I ever thought it would. Kinda figured that an obscure ship like TwiFire would get minimal attention, but sometimes it's nice to be wrong. Still, I have something for you:
Basically, mfw I see the ratio this morning.
So, yeah, I'm happy. I'm really excited, actually. Between this and TVCR, I've been working on those two fics for ages. And both are pretty damn big (Glow is about 121k, TVCR is 200+ and counting [kill me]). Now, TVCR has a few more chapters left to write before it's finished. Glow, on the other hand, is done. Signed, sealed, delivered, d.o.n.e.
With that said, expect a regular release schedule there. What do you guys think? Once a day or a chapter or two a week?
Well I have no objections to a chapter once a day. And I have a strong one against 1/2 a week. That reason is:
You offered once a day!!!
But I can live with either.
I'd say one to two a week since you'd be pushing yourself to put out more than you should if you try to make a chapter every day.
I'm still waiting on that (dom) Trixie/ (sub) Spitfire fic you promised.
4420485 Heh, fair enough.
4420490 Story is completely finished, yo. I ain't makin' shit. :P
4420493 Oh, right, sorry. I actually do have that. Here's the link to the GDoc, for anyone who wants to see.
4420490 well, Carapace said it was done. So it wouldn't really push for writing.
Alas, I would have to say 1chapter a day
4420498 You dispicably smug changeling...
4420498 most definitely once a day, starting today!
My view on release schedule is that it depends on your goals. If it's just "satisfy readers" faster tends to be better. If you want to optimize seeing new eyes, though, spacing it out a little tends to help.
I lean towards a once a week release schedule myself. If I dumped a chapter a day I'd burn through everything I've written in a couple of weeks, I'd basically occupy the feature box constantly for a while, and then be gone, and it would be months and months before I'd have anything else ready to go. The once a week schedule means I hit the feature box regularly for short periods (and occasionally long ones when I get lucky) and it keeps a steady trickle of new readers coming in. And by the time I've burned through what I have now, I've written more, so I can keep it up fairly constantly.
4420777 Hmm this is true. I mean, the actual having stuff ready isn't much of an issue, but it makes sense for other stories in the pipeline.
4420783 so what did you decide?
