That's the way I'm leaning. Though it pains me just a bit to think that being a WdC member gives you a choice of what to read -- with pics or without -- but non-members are saddled with illustrations.

If only one gets pics, I'd vote for the public. It is more like a book than the interactive, and who doesn't like picture books? !

Normally I wouldn't comment, but you said you were gauging the response, so I said something.

In response to "That Extra in Today's Chapter"

I'm not wedded to the use of illustrations, because yes, they will have to be taken down at some point. I've been doing it -- and will continue to do it for this branch -- just to gauge the response.

My thought at the moment is that if I do include illustrations in the future they will not be in every chapter, and that I will only post them in the either the public or interactive chapters, not both.

I'm not really a fan of including images in the interactive itself personally. I think it's cool to see some images on the forum from time to time, like the reference photos, but I really dislike the sudden incorporation into the interactive, especially given the likelyhood of them needing to be taken down at some point.

In response to "That Extra in Today's Chapter"

Wow! Looks great to me. If you wanted to publish an arc, these would be good to have for each chapter. But as you said, it would take up a lot of space in your port, max 250 images now unless we chip in and bump you up to premium for 1000 images.

Oh, yeah. The chapter was good, too.

In response to "New Month Brings New Chapters"

It's alright. That is just an estimate - if one chapter was posted daily, it's achievable in 2 years even accounting for some days off - and one that benefits from multiple chapters and contributors adding to it. It's not an impossible goal and it's not a solitary goal either - yet it's an achievement nonetheless. (Which is what I wanted to remark. Very few interactives develop in such a way that they can boast over 4,000 chapters. That means you could read 10 chapters daily and you'd still be spoiled for choices after one year.)

Specifically - mentioning this isn't meant to put any pressure on you, but as a way to reflect, look back and say "who would've imagined this little story about a boy finding a magic book that allows transforming into others through physical means would grow into something huge?"

In response to "New Month Brings New Chapters"

Two years would be an attainable target, assuming I don't vanish for six months again. But I'm not going to set it as a goal. I got this far by not paying close attention to how many chapters there are.

In response to "New Month Brings New Chapters"

That's basically 556 (at the time of the milestone) chapters.

Two years, tops? Especially if collabs happen or multiple chapters are posted at once?

From Katy to Sydney

Today's chapter—

Interactive: "Of Stephanie and Sabotage"

Public: "Of Stephanie and Sabotage"

—wraps up the last branch. It was written as a commission by someone who wanted to see some more of Katy getting into Stephanie's mask. Given that there was too much drama the last time Katy was inside that mask—Hannah got turned into a golem—I stepped back and branched off earlier to get something similar but without the golem complication.

Tomorrow I start another commission, this one rather shorter—a five-chapter run starting at "Group Activities"

and continuing through "Good Sports"

and "The Jockettes"

. It's another Will-and-Sydney story, taking off of the giant junction where they have decided to make their own "Brotherhood of Baphomet" and are deciding where to start and who to convert. This time it's going to be a sports team—one of the girls' teams—but which one, and who will be the first victim? Check in tomorrow to find out.
