This poll is about long-form, multi-chapter fanfic specifically! My chapter length while writing is varying wildly so I was wondering if y'all have preferences when either writing or reading. "Medium" is based on a generic googled answer for how long avg book chapters are.

Please assume all pacing is ideal in relation to chapter length (to remove it as a factor)

Reblogs are very much appreciated (whether you vote or not!), but no pressure ofc

[video description: a tik tok by iwwano. It shows them carving into a large wooden block (roughly a foot long and almost as tall). They carve a snake coiled up, then show a second carved wooden snake in a slightly different but still relaxed pose. The video cuts to a different wood block, and the person takes small shavings off the top. They do the same with other blocks of varying colours. Then it’s revealed that the shavings are scales. They carefully affix the scales to the two snakes, one becoming brown and the other yellow and white. The snakes look much more realistic with the scales. The person then affixes eyes and tongues, and displays the finished pieces. End Description]

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"

QUEEN CHARLOTTE: A BRIDGERTON STORY (2023)

[ID: A set of gifs from the mini series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Young Charlotte in her English wedding gown tries to climb the wall, then Young George watches her with amusement. The next gif shows Young Charlotte sitting alone in bed and captioned, “I should have gone over the wall.” The final gifs are Older George and Older Charlotte under the bed. George says, “You did not go over the wall.” Charlotte smiles back and says, “No, George, I did not go over the wall.” End ID.]

oftentimes when you look back on media you enjoyed as a child it's like hello why did they let a 14 year old fight a dragon? but star wars holds up. luke is 19. his reaction to losing his whole family is to say "alright, let's do this. I'm gonna learn to meditate and hire a sexy drug dealer and his friend who's a furry to be my uber across the galaxy so I can blow up a fascist government" that's something only a 19 y/o would do
