Opinions for readers...

When reading a lengthy fic...

Do you prefer it to be in chapters? or parts? or sections?

Is it easier to be in smaller bits to be able to come back to it later incase the page gets refreshed?

I am asking because I am going to be posting my slashorific fic coming up in July and I am not quite sure how to post it... The actual fic is broken up in parts by dates, and I'm not sure if it would be easier and more enjoyable to read broken up in those parts or if I should clump things together in chapters or in longer 'parts'.

God, I don't even know if I'm making sense anymore!

This fic is seriously kicking my ass.

for me I like parts not chapters on ao3 I just like parts maybe because I don't like to read it all at once

I guess I prefer it broken up into chunks somehow, but it's not like a fic being in one long piece ever kept me from reading it. :)

I like chapters/parts. Like you I read on my phone primarily and a long fic in a single post is hard to read.

I have to agree with theatregirl7299, go with the flow of the fic. I personally love chapters and for me it makes for easier reading.

I like chapters, and I'm not too fussed on the length of the chapters as I am the length of the fic. I do enjoy going into a story knowing that there's a solid 20k ahead of me and I can really get into it and lose myself :)

I also like knowing that if I reached a certain chapter, I won;t be catapulted back to the top of a very long page of words and have to find my own way back to the right part :)
