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 Smile). 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,
SirWaxaLot

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