How many chapters did you stack before posting?

[ShamelessPatheticMook]

I've been working on some new stuff. Planned to have 20 chaps by the time I started posting and was curious how I compare to you lot!

En-Chan does not simply stack chapters. If you must know, En-Chan has stacked up to five.

Depends.

I have a tendency to post immediately once finished until there is like 5-6 up, then sit on at least one but sometimes up to 10. Typically, I only stack chapters up unposted if it doesn't make sense to give an audience more of the story until it's mostly written.

Avoids most of the cliffhanger problem, though some of it is unavoidable.

I tend to write the entire novel before I publish it. But, uh 5, would that be doable?

I had 70 chapters stacked up when I started posting Lysette.

I started with 25 chapters.

since establishing a patreon, I learned to be patient. I am 14 chapters ahead of public chappies.

5 chapters, though with my current procrastination novel I’m planning on releasing it one arc at a time and not worrying about keeping a consistent schedule because it is just for fun. So anywhere from 8-15 chapters, however long it takes for MC to accomplish a short term goal I feel comfortable leaving people hanging with.

As of right now: I released Chapter 74 this morning, and I am working on Chapter 127 today, since I burnt some of my early backlog posting a bunch in the first week. So I'm only working 53 chapters ahead; enough for patrons to get plenty to nom on.

I asked that very same question once. People told me at least 5, 20 is optimal. But even sick I still write, and I need to be in so much pain, that I can't sit my ass in the chair to skip a writing session. (Which happened last year around Christmas when a piece of wood fell on my toe)

So, I post as a go. You can do the same, the pressure will just motivate you. =)

0, because I'm overworked and have no time for leisure

I had 18 when I started releasing daily. I did 21 days of daily before switching to 2 times a week. Having a decent (15+) chapter pile before you post a long running story is good, because it makes you less likely to drop the story as an author.

To add to it, a lot of stories sound fun in theory, but by 10 chapters in, you're tired of your own gimmick.

Often zero, back when I used to have more spare time and could write for hours on end. My backfill atm only has 4 chapters ready, but I don't really care about keeping a schedule so its there for as long as I want it to be
