Ahhhh! Sorry? D: It's not like I'm genuinely mad at such authors (hell no, they provide me with long fic!), it was more a cry of frustration. A little frustration

It's because, actually, I mostly read fics, esp. long ones, on my phone. When at home, I don't have that much time, but I like to read when on subway, in time between classes and sometimes during and such. And I use a couple of programs for that - one is for saving web-pages, and when there's TWENTY of them, it can be a bit of a pain (especially since the newest light version, which I so carelessly updated to, only can contain up to 10 articles at a time), and the other is-- well, you just get text files there. And copy-pasting every bit of text from so many pages can be tiring. :D

So yeah, mostly it's the question of practicality. :/

And on AO3, even if you post your fic in chapters, there's a 'View Entire Work' option! ♥ (Which is one of the things I kinda hate about FF.net. Well, the lack of such a button. Had to copy-paste a 30+ chaptered fic into a .pdf file. The chapters were quite long, too! /shudders)
