Are we allowed to post things in &quot;chapters&quot; on MyLot?

Obviously there no ill intent if someone does that.

@LadyDuck Maybe I'll break up some of my longer and more interesting pieces (from the past) into smaller bits.

I have seen people posting "Part 1", "Part 2" and so on. I have checked the guidelines and there is no mention that we are not allowed to post things in chapters, so I suppose it is okay. I get discouraged if a post is very long.

@TheHorse All the long posts get few comments. People here do not want to spend too much time on a discussion. I know that many comment without reading, they look at the title and at the closing paragraph.

I noted that my last post before this one got very few reads because it "appeared" long, due to the stuff I cited from Wikipedia. I also get scared off by posts that seem really long.

I just don't want to accidentally violate any rules in the TOS. With my criminal history (illegal snow pea planting, etc.), I like to tread lightly.

@Marty1 But what about the child labor thing? I'm...so...scared. Maybe I can find some older stuff that's not that long.

I don't see why not - as long as they follow the guidelines!

There have been several series posts like that so I don't see why it could be a problem. The guidelines don't prohibit that.

I have done it a lot in the past. I do get discouraged and move on if it is more than four or five paragraphs. I did a series about my life and did it in parts.

It depends. If net is working fine ..I read. If I know the person, and have been following him or her for fairly long and am interested in his or her opinions, then I read or return if net is giving problem. Otherwise, I prefer shorter posts...advantage of shorter post, we may have one doubt or opinion too many in respect of different aspects of a story. It brings out something that we possibly had not thought of before.

I'm kind of the same way. If it's someone I know, I will read even a longer piece. But in general, I prefer pieces that get to the point and stimulate conversation. I've violated my own "rule" a few times.

I'd try to condense it to be readable - not too long, but no too short either =)

That was the problem with my post before this one. I put a lot of thought into it, but it was just too much, I reckon.

I am not put off by the length if I find the subject interesting. I know that some of mind seem a little long once I look at them on the page.

Just checked the comments and the general consensus seems to be that it's okay. I have trouble cutting mine down sometimes. I will read long posts but I need to be a bit interested in the subject before I'll bother.
