Poll time!

So I'm working towards posting my long-ass fic and I haven't posted anything quite this monumental for 6 years so I wanted to know what you young hip youthful types think when it comes to posting formats for long fic, and for fic in general.  Results will probably inform my decision of where/how to post said long-ass fic in the near future.  Uh, and the 'in parts' thing -- I do mean parts of a completed fic all at once, not installments -- so I'm not talking about posting a section a day or anything insane like that.  WHO DOES THAT, ANYWAY?  (*glares at young hip youthful self from 6 years ago*)[Poll #1618432]

I really like AO3, but as long as a fic isn't posted in tiny, tiny parts, I'm happy. My big pet peeve is long fics that have been posted in 1K parts. It really breaks the flow of a story if you have to stop and klick on a link that often. Breaking up a long fic in some parts for LJ posting doesn't bother me.

I just hope that people that are posting fic to other places than LJ continues to post links to their stories on LJ so I don't miss out. ;)

*nods* No, I wouldn't do that. The fic itself is structured into 5 long parts but I think at least some of the parts are probably still too long for LJ. I'm thinking AO3 is the best way to go here.

I will definitely post on LJ when the story goes up, though!
