DevilDuck Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 (Sorry if they has been answered elsewhere but I'm new) So I was recently convinced to join the archive and I've started by posting a mulitchapter story and I'm wondering if it would be better to post all the chapters at once or put them up one at a time on some sort of schedule? If the latter, how often? BronxWench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagome26isawsome Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 In my opinion, you should do it like once a week. Give time for people to read the first chapter and comment. Also you might want to change some stuff in the chapters later on. So I would wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 It does seem to work better for readership if you post a bit at a time, like once a week. You can even let your readers know it's finished, but you'll be posting a chapter a week, and pick a day to post. BronxWench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayNeko Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 That's what I'm doing in moving my work over from HF. Every Saturday I post a chapter and I just finished putting up the first piece I'd written from some years ago. Tomorrow I start another story. I've also asked the same question in my review and response thread just in case some folk would like to see some work more quickly.

BronxWench Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 You do tend to develop a good readership base by posting weekly, and often garner more reviews as well. I'd recommend it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melrick Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Uploading a whole heap of chapters at once does tend to deter many readers from even bothering, so as others have said, one at a time over a week or so is probably the best.
