I hadn’t thought of this – but that totally makes sense. Waiting til it’s finished will help with tagging, definitely. And posting it chapter by chapter will hopefully mean it’ll draw in more readers. I’ve had friends who post their fics by chapter once a week or once a month, etc even though they were completely finished! Tbh I’d likely do it that way too. 😛

That’s what I’m hoping. I do tend to get more attention if I post chapter by chapter (oddly). The only thing would be actually finishing it because I have a problem with doing that without a deadline. 

omg!!!! Will you post it as a WIP like you’re doing with The Dragon’s Keep? I know we talked about an alternative option last night…

I don’t know for sure, honestly. I think I want to have the whole thing done before I post it but I could post it in a WIP after it’s done. It’s kind of the nature of writing something that’s kinda mystery driven. I wanna make sure everythign is connected and makes sense and I know what all the potential triggers are so I don’t cause anyone any issues.

Well, maybe set a schedule of some sort? Like, for every Poly Square or something you can write a bit of the Serial Killer AU as some kind of a reward, if that makes sense?

I should do something like that anyway, honestly. Like, for every thing I write on something I *need* to do I’ll write a little more on something I’m more excited about.

I think you’ve got enough on your plate that you should focus on the first three things tbh – although omg the serial killer au is gonna be amazeballs

Oh, totally. But after I get at least the last two finished I can do it maybe. 

I just found my notes and had to whine.

Reason to ship: i like it. I seriously do not get the controlling aspect of fandom; yes, there are ships I see in fandom that I don’t see in canon the same way, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the fanon or learn from other people’s perspectives.

What the hell does it gain you to try to police other fans? We’re crazy, policing won’t ever actually stop shipping from happening

I think some people have trouble seperating fanon from canon. Like, don’t get me wrong, there is no way I’m shipping certain things in canon or things I just don’t see in canon, but that doesn’t mean I can’t play with those in fanon. It’s for fun!
Ship policing is something I can never get behind. Like.. what is this going to accomplish? Nothing is the real answer but some people feel they need to do it I suppose. It’s silly.
