Should I do more stories?
- Yes - add variety with lots of polls 26
- No - stick to what you're doing, it's working 3
- Add a third ongoing 3
Really don't know how to phrase this question concisely. Basically, I'm now thinking about several things and it's fucking with my head a bit.
Anyway, what I've been pontificating on is:
Should I maybe start doing short series and have you guys vote on which one gets continued and when? For instance, there'd be 4-5 stories that would last maybe 5 or so chapters (even at my current 3K average word length), which you'd vote on. Each month there'll be another poll for which story gets continued, with the previous month's winner being removed to give the others a chance.
My reasoning is partly for diversity - since two stories, even with one starting to go pretty far into the deep end, doesn't provide much change - and also to maybe get through a backlog of story ideas I've got that I'd like to try.
The third option is for another consideration... should I start doing a third ongoing?
This wouldn't involve monthly votes for continuing - except maybe to determine which story gets more chapters in a month or something like that. Similar reasons as the above. Provide better diversity and get through my backlog of stories. It does mean that some stories might only get one chapter a month, but there'd be more variety.
If you've got other ideas, let me know in comments or message me. Also keep an eye out for another poll on October 1st.
