This is to address an issue. Short Chapters.
1. I have been getting regular complaints about my chapters being chapter. My chapters are sowhat in the range of 1100 to 1300 words.
2. If you are reading this on P@treon, then I release 6 chapters a week. Which is roughly equal to at least 6500 words per week. 5 chapters on the free platform.
3. I do not want to speak in detail but I do not earn enough to dedicate myself to fully write the fanfiction. I do it as I am sowhat passionate about it and of course I make so side inco. So, writing two chapters (two fanfiction) is the limit of what I can put in.
4. There has been suggestion about rging two chapters and releasing only 3 chapters each week. I cannot do it. It will very badly affect the visibility of my book.
5. Increasing the word count is not really a hard thing to do. But I avoid to add useless information. For example, in the latest chapter of Harry Potter Fanfic, I could have very easily dragged the conversation between Arcturus Black and Antonio. Adding another 200 250 words was no big deal. But I avoid to do this.
I have seen fanfictions, where they take a quite a few word count in asking and reinforcing the sa statent again and again. They would repeat the sentences in active and passive voice. They also add reaction of characters after every other line. Again, in Harry Pitter fan fic, in the chapter which you will read (Chapter 44), I could have added reaction of Bellatrix. Edmund Bones. Arcturus Black and even Rodolphus Lestrange. 500 words would have been an easy thing. I admit that reactions are part but they should be used when they seem useful. I am writing an intense scene and after every line from Antonio, I showcase the reaction of another character. This is just not my style. You can pick similar examples of GOT Fanfic.
