This is my life

Ah - I have a few stories that are like that. I'm a linear writer, generally, so serial is an option for me. I know plenty of people who aren't, though, and that's another reason I don't really like serials. It means people who don't write them will always have lower hit/comment/kudos/bookmark counts than those who write them.

It's been an interesting experience, that's for sure. I might like to try it again at some point, more purposefully, but not for a while, I think.

ETA: And actually, this explains why some of the worst stories have huge hit counts, too - if they were written serially, they're going to have 10 times the hit count, even if they're not that good. (And probably a lot of kudos, too, because if the first couple chapters are good, they'll get a lot - even if they become crappy later.)
