🕑 Added 2025-08-07 17:33:08 +0000 UTCThis is to address an issue. Short Chapters.
1. I have been getting regular complaints about my chapters being chapter. My chapters are somewhat in the range of 1100 to 1300 words.
2. If you are reading this on P@treon, then I release 6 chapters a week. Which is roughly equal to at least 6500 words per week. 5 chapters on the free platform.
3. I do not want to speak in detail but I do not earn enough to dedicate myself to fully write the fanfiction. I do it as I am somewhat passionate about it and of course I make some side income. So, writing two chapters (two fanfiction) is the limit of what I can put in.
4. There has been suggestion about merging two chapters and releasing only 3 chapters each week. I can do it, but only on P@treon because there is no ranking here. If you wish it, please comment and I will think about it.
5. Increasing the word count is not really a hard thing to do. But I avoid to add useless information. For example, in the latest chapter of Harry Potter Fanfic, I could have very easily dragged the conversation between Arcturus Black and Antonio. Adding another 200 250 words was no big deal. But I avoid to do this.
I have seen fanfictions, where they take a quite a few word count in asking and reinforcing the same statement again and again. They would repeat the sentences in active and passive voice. They also add reaction of characters after every other line. Again, in Harry Pitter fan fic, in the chapter which you will read, I could have added reaction of Bellatrix. Edmund Bones. Arcturus Black and even Rodolphus Lestrange. 500 words would have been an easy thing. I admit that reactions are part but they should be used when they seem useful. I am writing an intense scene and after every line from Antonio, I showcase the reaction of another character. This is just not my style. You can pick similar examples of GOT Fanfic.
6. Last but not the least, I will thank you everyone of you who have constantly supported in the past month. Though not a lot, I make enough of side income from this as full fill few of my needs which I otherwise would have been pressed to full fill. A really really big thank you.

i agree with battleofst i subbed for got and even though i would like more content cause who doesn’t the current schedule is better than 3 longer chaps imo. i also appreciate that there are no filler chapters or paragraphs

I’m not against using AI, but when you read something and it clearly feels like it was written by AI, especially if it happens too often, it can be frustrating. For example, there are often long staring scenes, or overly drawn-out descriptions and inner monologues that don’t really add to the story.

Hi! I’m a supporter on Patreon mainly for your GOT fanfic. Honestly, I think your update schedule is fine. For me, what matters most is that you don’t extend the chapters needlessly or rely on AI to bulk up the content. I appreciate that you stick to your own style.
