Well Atik I can personally tell you that I do not follow Makorr at all so I do not bother with something tied to it. However I can comment on the fact that yes you are putting them out way to quickly for any reader. I understand you want to keep up, but give at least a day or two between pieces. I doubt you have them all ready to go somewhere, so I am sure you are tired about pumping them out this fast.
Well, I have the story itself planned out. I always know what I want to do before I ever start writting.
The reason I'm not getting tired? I have nothing else to do. I have, like, 19 hours a week at work, I've lost intrest in Xbox Live, and WoW has gotten rather tedious.
Notice how quickly and regualrly I was posting in Makorr itself? It is because I have been either sitting on the comp or working out 90% of my time off school and work.
And so, I sit down and write. Or I read Makorr to keep up, but I mostly write.

Perhaps you could put him in the unmolested continuum?
.....The War of the Shifting Sands; the fight against the Quarji, not the War of the Ancients Light; that War happens in both versions.

You'll figure it out. Your Adams after all. You've got it covered. Or something. Thank you Hyper, and since you love the NE's guessing you are reading the stories for Tova aren't you? /feels the pressure

The problem with writing quickly, even with time to spare, is that you can easily get burnt out. That's why it's probably best to pace yourself - within reason.

Lol, nice to know.
So, no actual posts required in the thread itself....do you like them so far?

Heh, well will probably end up doing the rest of Chapter 2 at some point tonight; show how Tova makes his choice of which of the Totem's he follows(which anyone reading the original RP with him knows his cat form is a massive Nightsaber Panther, that got larger and more feral looking after his Savagekin descent), and hopefully, I can pull it off right.
After that; the next chapter will probably be about the twins turning 110 and 'officially' becoming Elf adults, and from there.....well, depends; and yes, will eventually get over the stumbling block that is the Shifting Sands....heh.

Original discussion, since that's not what that Q&A is for lol.

I mainly don't break it up because I enjoy writing actual chapters instead of simple blurb style posts. I also don't like having them spread out across several dozen threads when one simple one can do that. And I can't really make them shorter, as that would remove things, or have 'bad' breaks, which is something I do my best to avoid like the plague.
I don't mind if people pick and choose what they read; I know some of what I wrote is not for everyone.

YEAAAAAAAH.
Managed to get the first paragraph down while raiding so I'm on a roll here and might be able to plug something out tonight. If not, then tomorrow sometime in the morning/afternoon.
Hey Neon.
How's that 11/12 going?

Thing is, it's easier for everyone if you spread them out among threads and then have an index with links to each one.
All in all, it just seems to be preference though. Whatever's best for you. Just be warned though, you will probably get less feedback the way you are doing it, just because it's hard on the reader.

Don't worry, I'm just jealous that Hyper can play in the week and I can't.
