I update everyday. Sometimes more then once a day and my chapters are usually 1000-3000 words on average. I write it up in about an hour, proofread it and post it immediately. No ones ever complained. In fact most readers comment they are glad I update frequently. I guess it depends on the type of story it is and who it reading it.
- Seventh:
- frankly: if you're updating several times a day, i fail to see how you can be putting enough effort in to make it worthwhile. either your chapters will be very poor quality, or ridiculously short - or both. i HATE fics with dozens of shitty 100-word chapters.
As for the comments giving away the plot, when you click on comments does it not bring you to page one? can't you enter your comment there? why go to the last page if you dont want to.
- Mrs. Melting Crayons:
- Say I'm fourteen chapters behind, I go to post a comment, something someone else said completely gives it away.
I don't see how some one could complain about falling behind. Its the same as having a book in front of you. The chapters are there, You open it and read as much as you can, when you can. But it is all there waiting. Unless the story is interactive where the readers are participating in what will happen then it does not matter.
