Question

I just have a quick survey for all of the readers of my fic, Ecstasy.

I know it's sometimes a LONG time between chapters, but that's because I try to make them rather long.  (Plus, like I've said, life gets in the way.)

SO, here's the question.

Should I start making the chapters shorter so you guys don't have to wait as long, or should I continue making them the length they are?  Because, typed in Word, they're usually 6 to 9 pages long.

So please let me know which you'd prefer, and if the majority of you would like them shorter, I'll try to do that for you.  But still, I can't guarantee, because I won't stop until it feels like a good stopping point in the story, but I'll try.

Thanks much.

hey retro!
please don't make them shorter i like the long ones it gives you time to really get us into it, yes there is long pauses but so what people have to be patient, its just when your gone for like weeks i start to wonder if you died! hehe. i like the long chapters soo i am saying please don't get rid of them!! lol they are good, well thought out, the short ones can seem rushed to get out then you re-read it and its like shit i oculd have made that sooo much better.
well i have rambled long enough later kiddeo *prays to keep long chapters* hehe

They're worth the wait and the longer they are the better...but that's just me. Do whatever you feel like doing, I'm sure I'll be happy either way :)

i personally feel that the longer the chapter is, the better. its obvious you put so much effort into each one, it seems unfair to ask you to alter it. i honestly dont even notice the length at times cos i get so absorbed by it. but thats just me, im an avid reader of ANYTHING :D

i prefer them being longer. it means you feel more of a connexion to the characters, plus id worry that by shortening them you might not use so much description and be as frigging amazing as you currently are...basically keep doing what you're doing because you rule!!! :D
