Single story or series?

[DanStark]

I have written a story that is 70 Word pages long. I has chapters. Should I publish it as series or as a single story? This is my first story on Literotica.
Thanks,
DanStark

What did you decide? I personally would have broken it up.

"70 Word pages" is vague. Word count is what, er, counts. Personally I'm comfortable reading and publishing stories up to 15,000 words or so, and plenty of people are comfortable with much bigger. I think Lit can handle 100,000 word submissions.

If you wrote it as a full story, it's probably reads best as a full story.

So anyone who splits a story up should read each *split up section or "Chapter" on it's own several *times and really ask themself "Does this chapter stand on it's own two legs?"

178,000 words. 322 Letter-size Word pages. 81 Lit pages.

If readers can't put the story down, being a single long submission is what they prefer.

A typical Word page is 300 words (default font and line spacing), so 70 X 300 = 21,000, about six Lit pages. Not a long story, by Lit standards. If the whole thing has been written, I'd publish that story as a standalone. If I was publishing on the run, that would typically be two chapters.
