| Would people rather I go slower with the chapters? I've been trying to stay on a weekly schedule, but it seems like a lot of people are missing chapters. |

| *wince* I'd hate to say it, but yes. Perhaps every two weeks? Leave a week to get to the poll and a week to read? |

| I'm afraid I've only been glancing at this one from time to time, but I do agree that a 1 week turnaround is a little fast. |

If you really think you can plan out and post an exquisitely excellent, full-length chapter in one week (allowing time for voting), go for it.
You're the King, though. Quality's the most important factor- people are going to read your story even if there's a month between additions. |

| Yes, please take your time and leave enough time for readers to catch up. |

| Personally, I enjoy the chapter a week, but unfortunately, it doesn't generate much interesting conversation, so yes, I would advise slowing down. |

| I don't mind either way. A chapter a week isn't really hard reading, but I suppose it'd be easier for those who aren't on as often. |

| I read a chapter a week eagerly, as long as people with quicker minds than mine can come up with comments that fast. I guess a slower timetable would give me more chance to mull it over and think of something. (Or maybe not, but I wouldn't have an excuse then, would I?) |

My reading style isn't quick at all (i do the character voices and everything o-)). So yes, please do. I'd say the two week turn would do it. One week chapter discussion, week two poll.
I know why you did it though, and it is true that SG's need a certain amount of scheduling so that it won't leave the mind of the player, so it's understandable why. I just think it would help more people put their two cents in when they can.
Sincerely,

OK, thanks for the feedback, everyone. We'll try a two-week cycle for the next few chapters, and see how it goes.
