How Best to Post Long Stories?

Hi folks,
Just wondering about the best way to post long stories.
Right now I'm converting them to PDF and posting chapter by chapter twice a week. In the body of the submission I include a brief synopses of the story and/or chapter.
I then repost the complete story again at the end.
Is this the easiest way for you to read them?
I know some authors put their stories in the body of the FA post, but I find them hard to read that way.
Also, how about the length of my chapters? I could post more frequently, perhaps every other day, if I cut each chapter in two.
Thanks.

FA+

it is somehow easier to read,and I like getting the surprise each time ^^
(kind of like watching a TV show...you can't wait to find out what happens next and thus look forward to enjoying the next chapter )
Length is your own choice. Do NOT let conventional standards dictate what you define as a chapter or book. In the end, we'd just have less to read more often, which honestly doesn't make it any better than before. In fact, I'd argue that since your stories are generally more immersive, I prefer being forced to sit down and really sink into the text for an hour, making longer better.
