However, the blanket assumption by a couple of commenters to the OP that the only reason for posting in parts or WIP is to obtain extra comments chafes me a tad.
THIS.
Oh, sure, getting the comments is one reason for doing it that way. But it's by no means the only one. Those comments on a serialised story are immensely valuable to me as a writer...one of the things I loved about posting Predator was seeing people speculate about who Jim was protecting and why and what did he know...I never would have got that if I'd posted the whole story in one because people comment when they get to the end.
But it's like I said - I post in parts because that's how I want people to read it. Serialisation is as much a skill as any other form of writing.
