Question about long stories|closed 🔒

Hey, I just found myself in a particular situation - I was supposed to write a little backstory for my OC Fluffy aaaaaandd it ended up being a size of a book :upside_down_face: Should really long texts be tagged in long-form? Should it be somehow prefaced with like, a warning at the start of the post? I kinda don’t wanna drop a massive text bomb onto poor unaware readers.

Just break it up into little chapters if that helps
Would prob help get readers’ interest a lot better

Either that or if people don’t want to keep reading then they’ll probably just stop

Wait, what size book? We’re not talking a single-chapter lord of the rings here are we?

I think you can tag it as long-form if you want, but it’s not needed. It appears rarely used and when it is used, it seems to be used equally for “multi-chapter story/comic” and “the thing depicted has long limbs”.

I mean, the whole thing with formatting is 30 000 characters long and I don’t know how it’s gonna translate to a post here xD
