this is a post about (my) harry potter fic
SO.
I am very nearly ready to start posting my sequel to EWFS and I'm trying to figure out how to do that. Not where, but how; the where will be the usual LJ/DW/AO3, plus FA and Fire and Ice, and crossposted to the deamus and the HH comms on LJ.*
The how, though. The sequel is about 56,000 words long in 10 chapters plus a 7000 word interstitial story that bridges EWFS and the sequel. I can't decide if I want to draw this thing out in parts, perhaps two chapters or so a week, or just give it to everyone in a lump. At the end it will be on AO3 in downloadable form, so there's that, but I can't decide if people like things in pieces or sort of hate them. And given that the fic is entirely completed now it could be posted all-at-once (you know, save the space restrictions).
Which of course means I'm making a poll! As some of you aren't into DW (sadface!) and/or making an open id, I'm putting the poll on both LJ and DW. (So yes, you can vote twice if you really want to, haha!) Oh, and I'm sneaking another question in there, too.
Poll on (my) harry potter fic
Thanks all!
*I am not posting to Portkey because I didn't find posting EWFS there last year to be a good experience, sadly. I got a lot of slash hate in my comments, even though I warned for slash, partially because I didn't warn specifically for the background Percy/Oliver and Sirius/Remus, and partly because people are jerks. It makes me sad because back in the Pumpkin Pie days, H/Hr was a very slash-friendly ship. I got very few anti-slash comments on my fic at FictionAlley, and this was back in 2002 when people warned for slash pretty regularly. I'm not going to take it down because whatever, but I'm not posting anything else there. If any of you H/Hr folks has another place to suggest, I'm all ears!
