Editing One Long Series, or Several Shorter Ones?

[RivCA]

So, I have my series I’ve been working on, wrapping up in the next week or so. My question is this: Should I continue the series using the same format, or should I break off from that and start up a new series as a continuation of the old one? I’m going to take a break in between, but in the meantime I have another side project that will start up as a series of short stories. As for the main, my intent was to start uploading the second book (series? maybe “book is the wrong word?) as its own standalone title. Same characters, picks up right where the text of the first stops at.

The first story in Before The Fall will be releasing its first part on June 9, while I get the next book set up, in the meantime. I’ll update my forum signature then, but if you’re interested in checking out my first ramblings, here’s the link for Echoes of Lescatié.

It usually takes about 70 chapters for a series to start gaining momentum of readers unless you are already a well known author. As such, you should keep it under the same title if possible.

Because of how Scribble Hub is I would say longer but for me Multiple books So you can have them as Separate stories even though some of them are right after it. You can switch inbetween as well, do both.

If it's the same characters and/or plot, keep it together. If you want different stories in the same world though, definitely separate them.

The ability to link stories makes this less important than it could be - but some readers do go by number of chapters and don't notice the links.

Alright, judging by the responses, I think I’ll continue the story thread under the simpler title of Echoes of Lescatié. Thanks for the advice.

Easy, just go the trails route and make short stories that all connect and continue one long story!

That’s actually what I’m doing with the other project I have. Same universe, different timeline, or at least a different part of the timeline. The first chapter of that gets released in a few days beyond my long-winded preamble. Here’s the link to that, first chapter drops June 9.

Before The Fall: A Monument of Beauty

Before The Fall

An anthology of short stories and novellas, these tales are meant to be disconnected from the overall narratives established within the Monster Girl Encyclopedia universe.

I'm much more of a fan of same universe same timeline, but big ups to you for going in on your idea. Lord knows I don't have the brain capacity to start working now lmfao

 

[RivCA]

I’ve been working on these stories for a few months, so I have a large backlog of updates to publish. Right now, I’m working on update scheduling and polishing, but I’ll be back to the creation process once I get those squared away.

I agree with this one.

I write several short series.

I can't fathom writing a single 150-chapter epic. ?
