...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?

I'd say post it as it comes to you and list it that way. That sounds complicated, and I do know how difficult it is when the story comes to you at their will and not your own. Sparrow was like that for me. I had a skeleton but it was like kneebone connected to the neckbone connected to the footbone and I've never been able to put it in a chronological order.

Thank you, hon. Between you and [livejournal.com profile] fantasy_fan, I think I've decided to post written-order first and then put up a chronological list if anyone wants it.
