You do know there's an "Entire Work" button on AO3, right?

[tabaqui]

I don't think you can do 'entire work' with a series, just a chaptered work.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I know that. But the question was whether "it’s marginally easier to press “next chapter” than “next work”" and my point was there's no need to press "next chapter" because the "entire work" thing exists. The fact that you can't do that with a series is what makes the whole 'posting multiple tiny stories instead of one story with multiple chapters' thing so annoying (at least to me).

[tabaqui]

It just seemed a weird comment to make to *that* comment, because it seems like OP wants chapters, and clicking 'next chapter' and 'next work' is literally the same thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't read OP's mind so I don't know the source of their annoyance, but the comment I responded to literally asked or am I missing something? and the most obvious thing they seemed to be missing was the fact that on AO3 you can read a whole story in one go, but you can't do the same with a series. Which is the source of my annoyance with this and that's why I pointed it out.

[(Anonymous)]

DA - I understood what you meant and I get your point. That said, some people hardly ever use the "entire work" function, so they may not even think of that factor when they're posting their "series."

The only time I use the "entire work" function is when I'm going to be somewhere without internet access. Otherwise I prefer to read it chapter by chapter, since that's the presentation the author chose.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, yeah maybe. Personally I've activated the 'entire work by default' setting in my preferences because that's how I like to read fic.

[(Anonymous)]

NA

That's kind of the point. That, yes, there isn't really more work clicking 'Next Chapter' versus 'Next Work', but there is an easier way to view a chaptered work in whole as opposed to a series. The anon above was pointing out that there is something that can be done with a chaptered work that can't be with a series.

I'm not OP, but the main reason I'd strongly prefer chapters in the scenario OP describes is that I have AO3 display the entire work automatically for me, so I never have to click "next chapter".

[tabaqui]

I actually like the chapter view over the 'entire work' view. I guess having more 'pages' makes it feel like the fic is longer, and on really good fic, I want it to *last*.....
