Creating a story line with a cohesive progress path is a pretty difficult task, the parts I want to write I can't get to until I do the arduous task that is to write the order of events to get there. The worst part is keeping the quality bearable so readers don't lose interest when the really good parts come up, its kinda why I'm shooting for two chapters to be released at once and the progress has considerably slowed down, I'm doing occasional revisions to make the beginning parts more tolerable in terms of grammar and interest while ALSO adding more words to chapter 1 and drafting the idea for chapter 2.
I was never all that fond of their vs. debates but the number of stories of people being infracted or banned for scoring points against the mod/advisor's favorites I've heard is huge. I tend to avoid posting there for that reason.
