To post or not to post...

[llaeyro]

That is the question.

I've managed to finally write another chapter of my fic! (A whole 3k more words.. wooo look at me go -.-") I think lack of motivation is my problem atm. Not helped by the fact that my beta has forgotten me *sob* I just sit here reading it back and changing the odd pointless word or two..

So I was thinking, if I started posting like a chapter a week or something, I'll get comment feedbacks which will (hopefully, if the feedback's good!) motivate me to keep writing, and seeing as I already have 26 completed chapters I'm happy with I'd have tons of time to finish it and play around with the chapters 27+ until I have to post them. I doubt it'd even take me as long as that to finish, so I could start posting more often.

But then again that would be evil to the readers, posting a WiP.. which always annoy me and which I say I won't read and then do anyway >.<

Opinions, lovely people?

Peace and sherbet lemons xx <3

P.S It has just occured to me that if I'm going to post, I finally need to title this bugger... AHHH! O.O

Sounds like you need to poke your beta with a stick...

Wait, didn't you say that you had changed things a bit, am I waiting for the new version?

My stick was blunt and I couldn't find my pen knife.. but now... *poke* >=D

Yeah I did have a mess around a bit, found some typos. But I haven't sent you a new copy as I wasn't convinced you were actually going to read it anyway :P I won't send you the new chapter as knowing me I will mess around with it a fair bit yet. xx <3

I would always have read it!! But whether or not I would have covered it in red text is another matter... I'm not at home that much anymore... But I'm on the case now...

Just from personal experience I'd say start posting it when it's complete or at the most five chapters away from completion. It cuts down on the headache of reading a WIP and also writing one.
