Would you prefer...

So provided I manage to figure out what to do with it by Monday, the story that I plan on submitting is, ahem, a bit long. The last time I split an over-long submission people commented that they would have rather seen the whole thing all at once. So: This is a short story (well, novelette really). Would you rather get it in two installments or all at once? It's about 11,000 words.

[Shivertongue]

All at once, please, unless you can find a point in the middle that works as a good cliffhanger, or if you'd like specific feedback on two halves independently.

[Chaos]

All at once.

[Asmodemon]

I'll also say all at once.

[Chaos]

This may be a legitimate thing to alter our submission guidelines with, considering the "rule" we currently have was made completely arbitrarily.

...and that everybody has pretty much ignored it for months now.

As for me, I say split it in half.



J/k. Send it all at once, pls.

[Chaos]

...and that everybody has pretty much ignored it for months now.

Right. So we should probably change that

[Silk]

Fine, I'll send Ryos half and everyone else gets  the whole thing.

Right. So we should probably change that

If people start sending me their whole novels at once I am going to drop out. Better yet, I'll just make sure all my critiques read "tl;dr"

[Chaos]

Well, that'll save you time on the critiquing, at least.

Frankly I was of the impression that the length was a flexible guideline rather than a hard fast rule.  I know from past installments that you move pretty briskly, so there is very little chance that it's going to drag.
