Do you prefer shorter or longer chapters?
Deadman reacted to Desiderius Price for a topic
Aside from the potter story, the rest of stories are original works. Thus, backstory episodes help a lot with some characters and setup to that universe as a whole. Funny enough, having delved into originals helped when I returned to the potter story, I accidentally made some well rounded characters, one of whom is now getting regular attention because it offered a good vantage point I didn’t have before.1 point -

One twist you can do, especially if you’ve gone down the rabbit hole of writing backstory character development fics, is to write it as an episodic serial. Thus each chapter is an “episode”, with its own mini-plot contributing to the overarching development you’re after. Characterization backstories, where I’m simply filling in their character(s) using the episodes to define it, are the most agreeable to this format.1 point -

Yeah, could be fun to get the feedback if you do. I’m planning on posting a single chapter of a story that I wrote that I wanted to be multi chapter but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Probably going to be writing a different story in the same fandom before I finish the one I’m thinking of.1 point
