Posting schedules

[kseda]

*plonks down with some spiced chai and crumb cake* Morning, all! I've been pondering something of late, and was wondering if you writers of multi-chaptered works could enlighten a oneshot maven: what dictates chapter postings, the story or the schedule?

I'm especially thinking of you insane dedicated souls who post chapters DAILY, or every other

Comments

In my experience, it was based on the story.

I figure 1000ish words was like the third bowl of porrige: not too short, not too long.

But, I also never asked anyone.

As for the near-daily posting schedule... I'm a comment whore, so I needed the love and wanted the daily satisfaction of entertaining There wasn't much fic being posted, and it was hard enough to only post once a day.

Also, the rules at tinman_fic clearly state no spamming. Of course, as I was one of the few posting, it was really still spamming :)

I also had about 50 'chapters' ready to go.

Sadly, I have since caught up to myself and haven't had the time to sit and type/write, so the ideas just swirl and people wait. Really, I just wanted to see if others would write something for a change - worked for a bit ;)

The other problem is that there are times when the Papaybunny only goes so far and you find yourself needing to connect A and D

Which is why there have been no further adventures of the Cain boys. And, of course, when a joke gets out of hand. *again, points to Jareth*

I really want to revisit the Van Helsing cross, simply because I have the PERFECT line for DG... but I have no idea how to get them all to a point where she can say that line.
