I'm incredibly curious to read about a Marty-Stu ... sounds like a fascinating concept.
So are you writing the whole thing before posting? Smart move ... then you don't feel the pressure when everyone is filling your mailbox with "update, update, update" (not that I mind the attention  !).

Yeah, I like to have something finished before I post it because all the eternally WIP I get involved in and the author moves on to other things and leaves me hanging.
one more OT thingy
I remember seeing Captain My Captain and not wanting to get into a fic that long. And only read it after MANY offsite recs.
It is going to be a really long fic, should I post it all at once or a chapter a week so people don't get scared off by the length?
MAN my mind is in the gutter since that "Writing Smut" thread!

I would post it one chapter a week ... you leave the reader hanging and wanting for more and you don't scare off potential new readers with a very long fic. Totally see your point about the forever WIP ... I'm afraid mine has become one of those and it irks me to no end!
No wonder your mind is in the gutter ... the things that have been said in that thread should stay in that thread  ! But it's been very informative and interesting ...

Why aren't I intimidating?!

Sorry BB, that was a question that I have been wanting to ask.
Anyway, what were we talking about...
Oh yeah, Elves.
Their Kewl...

*Pats Inglor on the head* Good boy.
See Sind? I'm learning... Fear me, underlings!
That was good right? I am BB and I am tough.
I think I need motivational tapes.

Oh, were you saying something? Sorry, I missed it ! Please forgive me  !
OK, enough with that ... just to humor you and redeem myself ... when do we start the discussion of next chapter? I'm three chapters ahead! Impressive  .

Gawd it is long, and it covers many points as well.
