How Do Y'all Post?
So I'm writing this fic. It's at 29K now and I predict it will wrap up around 45-ish. I don't have a paid account (and I wouldn't know how to do one anyway), so I can only do my own super lame totally old skool bad-ass non-bubble-button poll:
When you post long fic, do you:
a) Post the whole thing all at once in one hugeongous post?
b) Post it in pieces, say 10K each or so?
c) Eat Fig Newtons?
d) None of the above and let me tell you why...
Thanks so much! My fear is that it just won't get read -- because it's long, because I'm new and don't have a huge readership yet, because I've only just begun to recruit Sirius/Harry shippers and I have a long way to go, because y'all's BUSY -- so ANY help/advice anyone can give on how best to post in this wonderful HP world would be so gratefully received! And if you answer and then prompt me, I'll write you the drabble of your choice! \o/

Also, if you don't have an AO3 account, I have a ton of invites, in case you want one. Especially as you're writing a rare pair, AO3 is good for rare pairs because of the tag searching feature. So, it allows people to find all the stories on the archive with that pairing really fast. Might be useful for you. :)

Also, if you post over at AO3, you will not be alone on your ship. It's actually already a tag!
