LMH sequel question
Nov. 23rd, 2004 05:42 pmI'm working hard on the sequel for Left My Heart, and my plan right now is to start posting sometime after the beginning of the year. I had originally wanted to post chapters weekly, as I did with LMH, but I need to make sure most of the fic is written before I can do that. I don't want to commit myself to something I won't be able to do.
But then I wondered what the people who are actually going to read it would prefer. I'm pretty flexible here, honestly. I could possibly post a chapter in the two weeks, if people wouldn't mind waiting a month for the next one. So tell me what you think! What I'll post will be a preliminary draft, like LMH was, and a final version will eventually go up after some serious thought and reviewing of comments on the LJ draft. I'm not so concerned about getting it perfect the first time, so it's less a question of it being "ready" as one of posting it in a timely and reader-friendly fashion.
Please tell me what you think! Leave comments on this entry, if you want.

Date: 2004-11-23 04:13 pm (UTC)There is a gen WIP fic I'm reading now that has updates every 2 weeks. The chapters are shorter but the frequency of the updates is enough for me to not be too 'hungry' for the fic. I've read WIPs that don't update for months and those I tend to forget about- good as they are. *shrugs* I used to have a WIP fic link list on Word but it was too tedious (or I'm too lazy) in upkeep. E-mail reminders are great if it doesn't take too much of your time.
If you update a little less frequently and chapters are not as long, you'll have the time to make it as good as you want it to without depriving us fanhounds of your lovely writing. *grins*
I'll read anything you write, hon. LMH is dear to me. It introduces me to H/D, made me absolutely love post-Hogwarts and a muggle-smart Draco. Good luck!
