Hello everyone ! This is the poll that I said I was going to do last week, but I got a bit distracted. Here is the gist of it :


    I am currently at around 85 to 90% completion of book 5. My estimates are that this book will be from 44 to 50 chapters long, 95 to 110k words. And if me and my publisher stick to the schedule, that means the novel will be published in late december or january. That means, what, 18 saturdays, counting all the saturdays in december ? That is simply not going to cut it, and I would rather have the entire novel on RR before it is published, for you, my dear readers, whether you''ve only arrived recently or have been on this wild ride since the beginning.


    So, hence this poll. I have currently two solutions that I think are workable, and I would like to know your opinion on them :


    Solution 1, my preferred option, is to wait until the manuscript is done, all chapters are complete, and the release date has been set. Then, calculate how many chapters I would need to post per week to make a uniform, steady release schedule that would be sustained until the book is published, with the aim of having if at all possible a week between the last chapter of book 5 and the release of the novel proper to give you time to read it before it is taken down, with a chapter of book 6 already up as well if possible.

    Solution 2, something I would rather avoid, is to do a rapid fire posting right before the book launch. Effectively, I''d take however many chapters are left, and post them at the rythm one per day, returning to the normal weekly schedule a week or so before launch after the final chapter of book 5, to once again give you guys time to read it. I don''t think this is a good idea for a lot of reasons, one of them being that it will effectively have the whole content posted during the holidays and force you guys to read it ASAP in the middle of the celebrations before it is taken down, while the other option enables a more leisurely pace.


    Don''t hesitate to offer a more detailed opinion in the comments if you want !


    I hope you''ll have a nice day ! Playwars, out.
