Asking for advice

...from those of you who read, and especially those of you who've written, chapter fics.

High Contrast really does seem to be turning into an actual chaptered, long-form fic. I'm working on putting together an archive page, so I can point people to it when I get a new piece, etc.

My question is this: how should I arrange the listing? The first bits of the story I got over a decade ago, and now this stuff is coming in. But it's not now, nor has it ever, emerged in chronological order. The pieces come in willy-nilly, all over the place. So which would be more useful, do you think - listing in order of writing, or in the chronological order of the story?

Which would you do as a writer, and which would you prefer as a reader? I'm on the fence, honestly. Opinions?

Ah, you bring up an important point, one that I'd been worried about. There are indeed things in these fics that wouldn't be there, or at least where they are, if the story was being written step-by-step timewise. I was thinking that I'd have to go back and tweak eventually, but I don't know if I'll even want to do that. So I think I will post as I write, so to speak, and then put up a chronological list as a kind of map, so people will see what the timeline looks like even if it's not best read that way.

Thank you so much for bringing this up. It pretty much locks in my thinking. *HUGS*
