Hey TeaSer,
First off, no need to be sorry. Polls are purely voluntary and to each person's desire to take part based upon the content and question. But, for me, even if you called me a dirty low-down *$^#, stinking *%$&, or a chicken-hearted *#$%^; you should not feel sorry as it is an opinion and you have the right to it.
Next, I feel the same about stories and their progression other than I may be willing to spend an hour or longer to read them. I've been compelled at times, depending upon the writer and the story, to read a book from sun-up to sun-down, non-stop.
The Martian by Andy Weir being the last one to hold me so wrapped.
Jessica's Torment is written as a continuous story. I have been leaving little 'cliff-hangers' at the end to just be a no-good pile of *^*%*
. Just kidding. Mainly because I still have so much to say and feel I need to cut the story where it is to keep it at a comfortable reading length...generally 8,000 to 9,000 words. Thus,
Jessica is not a true single-chaptered story of progression; able to be read as stand-alone snips to a longer story-line.
My next multi-chaptered story will be.
Isla de BDSM is being penned in the same way Steve has been offering his stories, though a little longer per segment. But, each chapter will be written with a beginning, body, and end as a self-contained story but will be a part of a much longer tale and advanced upon through the larger-stories sequencial advance. It will also suit your liking of immediate immersion into the 'good-stuff' as I am adding the main setup to the story as a pre-chapter for those wanting the details of the isle and skippable for those who do not.
Thanks for the input. I have run these last couple polls to possibly adjust
some writing style for
some stories. More or less focusing on writing some shorter stories for those wishing for them.
Thanks again TeaSer.
