How long should chapters be?

2026-09-08 04:00 I think it depends on the content of the chapter. Your level of detail is great, so don’t feel the need to fill it with extra words or to cut it down. I trust your writing, Rosie 💕

Please know that my vote is very much biased because I can never have enough of your writing 😭 but it really depends on you, and what you think is the best length

Rosie

Ohh this isn’t because I want to change my chapter length! I’m just curious what you all like to read, and your preferences hahaha

Rosie

I’m just doing this poll to see what you all like! I don’t usually actually count the words of chapters, I write in one go and then later decide what I think would make a good chapter

Ohh overall 5k to 10k is good enough 🩷

bun

i like any length for chapters tbh but i've heard some people say they prefer the shorter ones because of they get easily distracted when it's verry long chapters

Mrs robinson

Mmmm see I feel.its not my place to answer this one. I think that as tge author you know the way you wanna take things slow fast building tension or not. So I have no preference. I adore the work however long

Rosie

Yeah I get that too! I’m not like that, even when a story has multiple chapters on ao3 I’ll choose to “show entire work” so I can just keep reading

Rosie

I actually don’t work with chapters, I’ll write and then later I’ll be like oh right!!
