So I want your guys' opinion
8 years ago
Please be sure to read everything, every detail is important:
My next story is still in the works, but I am getting close to the point where I can actually say "Hay, I am ready to post this". I have informed the winner of the raffle about this, and though he has not at the moment replied, I hope that he will soon. In the meantime, I want to hear your guys' opinion about how I should handle the posting of this story. Like the last story I posted here, this story is most likely going to be too long to put in the post discription, so if I were to put it in one post, then the only way to read it would be to download the Word file.
Honestly, that does not sound like too much trouble to me. It is just a word file, and nothing should be wrong with that, but I make a habit of putting the story into a discription just in case some people like it that way more than just downloading a file. So here is the deal, I can either:
A) Post the entire story in one post with just the word file and a short discription of the story in the discription that most do, meaning the only way to read it would be downloading the file.
Or
B) Post the story into 3 seperate parts. The story is divided internally already to take place at three different times and events for purposes of character development and natural story progression. This would allow me to make three seperate Word files and allow me enough space in the discription to post the story there in three seperate posts.
However I think it is worth mentioning that I would like to avoid the latter. It would make it look like I am favoring one story over another by giving it special treatment that I did not think to give to my previous story, and the only benefit to it would be catering to those that either can't (or the more likely case: won't) download the Word doc.
I have asked the one whose story this is for, and if he does reply, his decision is final over mine and anyone else's in this matter, but as a writer, my audience should have a say in how I should present my material so that it is more convient to them.
So please, tell me how you think I should handle this situation, and I will look at what you all think and make a decision based on that, unless the raffle winner replies soon enough.
Thank you for your time reading this journal. I would make a seperate journal for this topic as well, but I don't want to pull too much attention away from it. I want to let you all know that I officially have another raffle set up and planned with the rules of it written down on a document. It is just a matter of posting it when I want to, so for those watchers, new and old, keep your eyes out. I will be doing some more writing for some lucky lucky winners~
Once again, thank you for your time and patience.
(Also, sorry for any grammar mistakes. It is in the morning a few days after we jumped the clock forward an hour, and that hour is really messing with my sleep schedual =w= I will make it though~)

Regardless, thank you for your thoughts ^w^
BTW Will be messaging you about your story soon when I get closer to pinning down a definite date of posting the story/ final part ;)
It is up to you and the winner though, so whatever you both decide is fine.
We will decide in the end though, and if he does not give word, then it will be up to me, but I do want to take into account what you guys want~
I will see how well it works, but unless it works really well, I think I may stick with the word program as the posted download. But who knows~ I have not worked much with PDFs so lets see what I can do with those once I am finished
