Question for My Peeps

[elrhiarhodan]

Okay, flist...I love you very much and your advice has always been invaluable.  So I have a question.

Working on a fic, which is actually eight separate pieces connected by a gimmick (for lack of a better word).  Each of the sections is substantially more than a ficlet - ranging from 800 to 2000 words.  There's no real overarching theme (unlike "Take a Seat, Mr. Caffrey), and except for the gimmick, each piece can stand alone.

Should I publish it as one long fic (probably about 10k words when all done), or eight separate pieces - say one per day?

What say you?

I tend to be able to read shorter stories. If it's one big one, my personal choice might be to wait longer to read it, because I simply won't have a chunk of time to devote to reading. But that's me.

How gimmicky is the gimmick? Might be something to help you decide.

The gimmick isn't gimmicky in that it's silly or juvenile. It's just something that came to me as I was writing something. I didn't know if it would work, but it really has (at least for the first 6 parts).
