Just a Thought

Postby brandoprojectm » September 29th, 2010, 11:13 am

Okay, I know most of you are sick of the extremely long time-spans between chapters of well.....ALL my stories.

So I'm going to propose something, and I have a poll to go with it. And since it's pretty much all I know about, I'll use manga as examples.

Bleach, Fairy Tail, and the majority of other mangas are released weekly, with about 18-20 pages of manga. Fullmetal Alchemist WAS (*sob*) released monthly, with 50-60 or even 100 pages of manga, and it felt like it was more thought through and better quality-like.

So, what I want to ask you guys is, do you want me to do it the Bleach way, or the FMA way? The Bleach way would be getting a small part of a chapter (approximately the size of one part of Chapter 3 or 5, you know, the sections that were split into parts) every week or so, or get a pretty sizeable and well thought out chapter (definitely NOT Chapter 5-sized, though) every month. Or 2 months. Or 3.

Poll up there. What you think, foos?

I don't care how long it takes. Your time is your time. Do it FMA way.
Generally, everything is worse when you rush into it. Including manga.

THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Way to go guys, now we won't see another chapter for a couple more decades…I'll be sitting on some park bench somewhere sipping on some cool lemonade just relaxing and watching the birds fly around and the squirrels run up and down the trees and the kids play around that little fountain…and I'll have a long white beard and will be content to finally relax after all I've been through in my life…and then suddenly out of nowhere there will come this old Mexican dude to tackle me. I'll be like, "Dude, tackling old guys isn't cool."

The Mexican dude would be like, "Guess what? I finally posted Chapter 6!"

I would stare at the Mexican and try to process this information. Then, suddenly my eyes would widen as a meteor fell out of the sky and landed on the Mexican's laptop which he put down on the desk beside me and then watch the laptop explode with interest and then stare at the Mexican's priceless look of shock.

I would then ask, "Sorry, Chapter 6 of what now?"



Anyway, lock time.
