I hate when they say they have it finished and will post a chapter a week or every other day, even if they end up posting it all. Jesus fucking christ, just post the whole damn fic all at once and stop being a whore with comments. That's the only reason they're even doing it in the first place, to get everyone to kiss their ass to tell them how good it is. And maybe it's dickish of me, but if an author does that, no matter how much I love the story, I refuse to comment if it's posted one chapter a day.

That kind of setup bugs me, but if the fic is posted in a tumblr queue or something, where it's all uploaded automatically once a day or week, that doesn't bother me, especially if they write more fics while the first is auto-updating. It's only when authors explicitly hold chapters hostage for reviews, or claim to have a whole story finished and upload all but the last few chapters, or whatever, that I throw up my hands and find something else to read.

from an author...

I rarely write whole stories/multiple chapters in advance so I haven't ever been in a situation where I would even have the option to do this, but I don't blame writers for posting over time instead of all at once. Yes, you write for you, and not for an audience; but you POST for an audience, and posting it all at once (on, say, AO3) means you get that one little blip of exposure. Posting chapters over a period of time means that your story will be relevant for longer.

I feel the same way about tv shows that are released in giant chunks like Netflix's original series tbh... there one minute, forgotten the next. Spread it out, give people a chance to get into it!

Besides, if it doesn't work for you as a reader (and it's not the best for me, I like to binge-read rather than have to re-acclimate myself to the story's universe with every installment), but you think it sounds like a cool story, bookmark it and come back when it's done.

What's so wrong with wanting to get some positive feedback on your work? You act as though liking comments and kudos is a crime.

In my fandom, people just don't read long fics that are posted all at once. I think they're put off by the length. They seem much happier to read them in instalments.
