Updates

Who You Are As A Writer

'Please update!'

'Aww! I really want to know what happens next.'

I'm sure that these are some of your thoughts as readers, and to those that read and write as well. I'm saying that it's normal to have these thoughts. Because it proves that you are attached to the story or in other words, hooked. Same here. There are many fanfics where I'm really hoping for an update for. I'm sure you do too.

Now onwards to the topic.

There are fanfics where I've read and is hooked onto the story. But, the author hasn't updated in like 2-3 years. Wow. I mean you shouldn't do that. If you started a fanfic, you should take the responsibility to finish it. I know how life is, I know it can be stressful and busy. But if you want to stop the fanfic, you, as the author should tell us. Please don't just stop updating all of the sudden with no notices.

My Point of View:

If I were to stop updating or stop writing a story, I would put up a notice saying what I would do. At least the readers would know what has happened instead of waiting for an update that would never happen. I'm a reader, I understand what readers feel. I was like (._.) when I found out when the author last updated. 

 

When do you update?

How much should you update?

There are authors that update nearly each day, and there are authors that update about 2 times a month. There are also authors that update 1 every few months. For me, each is alright. Though I think that if the author has time, they should update. If the author is busy, I'd understand that it'll take them a much longer time to update. Just go with what you can and what you are comfortable with.

My Point of View:

For me, I'd try to update 2-5 times a month. Because of my "schedule".

Chapter 8: Actually in my school, you dont have to have good grades when youre in a sport team. Even if you have the worst score in the whole school but actually great in sport, you dont have to care about failing.

Chapter 8: I agree. I just realized recently that highschool fic focused mainly on the romance life, I mean, I get it that the genre is 'romance' but it doesn't mean that all the highschool things that the characters have to do magically gone.
more fic with highschool!au genre should describe the struggle of their character as a student more.

Chapter 7: I definitely agree that a title should be memorable and well thought out. It should especially relate to the story. It irks me when the title sounds pretty but has absolutely no significance to the story. One thing I'd have to disagree on is the word limit. "One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" by Sonya Sones is a great example of this. True, not many titles exceed six words but it can be done really well by those who do.
