New chapters

Forums: 

This may be a stupid question, but how do I post new chapters of an in-progress fic? Do I just post it like it was a whole other story or what?

Wait, one other question: Do

Wait, one other question: Do I give them all the same title, or add things like "chapter two" to the title of each chapter?

Titles

For the title of the piece, which is at the head of the add fiction page, use something like '[Name of Story] 1' and add each one the same way. Within the body of the text, write what you like.

Chapter numbers

It's best to use ordinary numbers for your title line.

Within your story body you can do what you like, but the title line is used for sorting by the system.

That means that it isn't a good idea to use words (such as "Chapter Two") or Roman Numerals ("My story - XXVII") because they'll get sorted all weird.

Just sayin'

Oh, and don't make typos in the title line either, check it very carefully. If you miss-spell your title your chapter could end up almost anywhere.

Make sure

That last chapter is indicated as the last. Some readers do not read serials until completed.
