LMH sequel question

[emmagrant01]

I'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.

I didn't see the poll before so I'm answering here. I kept up with the original on it's weekly basis last time. It worked well that way, but personally I'd rather the story be finished. Give yourself the time to get it the way you want it. Don't rush it and then have to go back and fix a whole bunch of problems. Most of the time I save WIP and read them AFTER they are finished. I know that YOU will finish your story, but some authors leave you hanging for years. I hate that.
In the end it's your choice and what you choose will be the right thing. We will still be waiting, either on a regular basis or to till it's done whatever the decision is.

Waiting patiently no matter what.

I totally understand your perspective! There are a lot of unfinshed WIPs in this fandom that, remarkably, keep showing up on people's "top ten fic" lists, depsite being incomplete. I'm just not going to do that, and that's why I haven't started posting yet. I want to be at a point where I know I will be able to post weekly and finish before I start posting.
