Nah, I actually get more in flow with the story each day when shifting between different fics. Don't worry about me, what do you prefer to read?

2022-04-26 20:26:06 +0000 UTCYeah that's true, tho I do usually try to cut off anything I feel is unnecessary so I won't say I'll pad it with useless stuff. I make a list of povs/scenes that I want in each chapter before starting to write. Still, 4 days is most likely the best option.

2022-04-26 20:22:17 +0000 UTCDefinitely think that the 8K every 4 days is the happy medium as it won't feel like there is a sudden drop in released chapters while giving you that extra day should something come up and you need it for some IRL stuff. Plus I also think that sometimes super large chapters can actually be counterproductive especially if the author ends up in a situation where they feel like they have to add stuff into a chapter that doesn't necessarily fit just to pad the word count. So overall I think the 4-day option makes the most logical sense.

2022-04-26 19:41:35 +0000 UTCYeah, that was my thinking as well. I might go for a 12-15k chapter when writing a huge climatic conclusion to an arc, but that'll be once in a couple of months or so.

2022-04-26 19:34:26 +0000 UTC3-5 days is a good balance I feel, depending on the scenes and what you feel the chapter needs to meet a good conclusion. If you were to go to 1 mega chapter per week, it'd mean readers waiting 3 weeks between each story update, so if a Patron is following for only a single story, they may only get 1 update per month. Slower updates would also affect visibility on the free platforms that all rank by date updated, reducing visibility to new readers.

2022-04-26 18:47:55 +0000 UTCI feel like the 15k would be counterproductive, much rather the brilliant writing now then you trying to get out 15k for 1 story. It might make you less motivated to work on that story and it would be a shame
