Discussion: chapter fics. Do you write them? Do you find them easy or difficult to write?

Comments

Got some writing done today, sadly nothing close enough to ready for posting and so I am dreading the editing because there are a ton of mistakes.

I've completed one chapter fic a couple of years ago and that was quite easy because it was an idea that I kept going back to before I took the plunge and wrote it. I've got an in-progress and currently stalled chapter fic and I'm struggling to get myself motivated to work on it and at some point actually finish it even though it's centred around something(s) that I wanted to see happen within canon.

Ugh. Real life needs to bugger off for a while.

I used to do nothing but chaptered 'fics. But, as I have noted here before, the ratio of reviews / comments to words typed was so pathetic that I pretty much stopped doing 'fics that way. (When your most popular pieces are porn you wrote anonymously, you need to think very seriously about your approach to these things.) Nowadays, my goal is to start doing chaptered stuff again after all these years of one-shots.

I do write chapter fics, especially when the story is one that can't be dealt with in one go. I've done a few that are only a few chapters, some that are longer -- one of my WIPs is over 50 chapters! They are fairly easy to do, the hardest part is knowing when the chapter is "complete" and giving each chapter a title if that's what I decide to do for that particular story.
