A Hero's Rebirth, Chapter 7 poll
Okay Patrons, one reason I have this is to give you input. I have a shorter Chapter 7 ready to publish. My editor and I have looked at it, and it is viable, but shorter. I can either publish it shorter, and you can trust me that I'll pay everything I set up in this chapter in the next, or I can extend this chapter to include more payout.
Obviously, that would make the chapter take longer to publish.
My editor and I are torn. We're worried you won't like getting the smaller chapter. It's only around 50 pages. (Only 50 pages... sometimes that seems crazy to me, how big this story is.) So, I ask you all this:
Do you want the smaller chapter now (I could post it tonight if I get enough responses) or should I delay it, and extend it more?

I really like how you set this chapter up and led us to the Cloud Dragons. Nicely done.
Whatever feels best in terms of storytelling
See, I'd totally go for this, but it is a literally a case of "This break takes place regardless... do I put a chapter break here, or just a "fade to black" and continue storytelling". So the storytelling won't be affected one way or the other.
Dang... a 50/50 split. I'll give it until tomorrow and see if more votes come in. If it was overwhelming one way or another that would have made my decision easy.
I actually don't mind either way. Longer chapters that take longer to publish but have a more complete starting and stopping point are always apprecited but I could live with shorter chapters if the frequency that they are updated is sooner. I wouldn't even be bothered by the short chapters all ending in a clif hanger.
