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?

Thanks for the points you make. I actually have a copy of that Godfather Rearranged, and yeah, the shape of the story is different depending on how you tell it. The order it's coming in for me reflects how they want to tell it, so I guess I should pay attention and not fuck with it.

Thanks!
