RE: Reviving Fiction-Trail!
That is a very good question. One of the reasons I am trying to engage the community. I don't know how to answer that question yet, but possibly @jedau may be able to answer that, or @johnjgeddes. Any help guys?
Thanks! I would love to post my story in parts ( like episodes?)here once I better understand how I'd be protected doing so. Money aside, I'm more concerned about getting ripped off emotionally! lol
I've seen a few stories posted in parts. It's kinda hard to follow them. Especially if the first part you see is somewhere in the middle of the book. The most successful ones I have seen have a kind of "table of contents" at the beggining of the post containing links to the previous posts for easy access. Another thought is that once you complete the next part, you could edit in a link to it in the previous parts or chapters. As in, once you finish "part 4", go back to part 3 and edit in the link to part 4 in your table of contents. I think ease of access to all the parts of an ongoing story will help the story/book/series be more successful. Especially if you are doing a novel. A link to the next chapter at the end of your previously completed chapters will help simulate "turning to the next page" at the end of each chapter. Just my oppinion though.
Wait, isn't edit option only available till first payout?
Then, how are you going to edit 'table of content' when you have new chapter releases?
Honestly I have never tried to edit a post after payout. That makes it a bit more complicated I guess. I will have to look into that. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, it took me 13 days to get back to "Seed" to post Part 3 and of course I linked Part 1 and Part 2 there, but I couldn't edit them to include Part 3 because they were past payout.
This seems so senseless. I mean, it's not like you can get more money from editing old stuff post payout so what is the harm in leaving it open for editing indefinitely? I think I may have read that they are considering changing that at the next hard fork.
That's great advice! 😊 thanks
