silly question...

[askerian]

and pretty much not important, but:

When I'm done with teamwork 2, there will be a few teamwork one-shots, and then another multipart. (i shall, creatively, call it TEAMWORK THREE. I rule.)

...I would post them separately on FFnet, but for the facts that:

1) wouldn't it annoy the hell out of people to have to run right and left to read them all and in the right order? They'd end up losing interest wouldn't they nooooo. ahem.
2) they don't entirely feel like separate fics in the same universe -- teamwork three probably won't make much sense without teamwork two and the sidefics. (i should think about it more, really. hm.)
3) I like having a big review count. u.u;;

So! I should keep posting the sequels in the same place, right? But then:

1) people will expect the first sidefic to continue following closely the plot of Teamwork2, instead of getting self-contained moments-in-life that deal mostly with one or two themes instead of juggling a bazilion threads at once
2) maybe I'm going to write the one-shots out of chronological order! I don't know yet. ;_;

... so.

Damn you, FFnet. *shakes fist at*

I would totally swoop in with a miraculous solution, but I don't have a miraculous solution so I'll just swoop in and give you a hug.

uhhh. maybe you could title them differently, and have as a side part "An excerpt from the Teamwork Universe" or something.

*ponders, attempts for easier solution*

Call them all Teamwork 2 1/2. *is so totally using the same tactic elsewhere*

*snerk* *has ranma 1/2 flashbacks*

heh, it might work. XD

Teamwork Pi? (3.14)

Well, FF.Net allows you to shuffle the order of your chapters around, so you could use the "chapter management" section to put everything you post in chronological order. Or you could have the main fics (Teamwork 1, 2 and 3) in one bundle, then put the Teamwork-verse sidefic's/oneshot's in another bundle with a warning that they aren't in chronological order.

I don't know if this helps any, or if you think it's too much work, or if you just didn't want to mess with it. I do hope it helps, if only to give you idea's for other solutions to your problem. ^____^

[askerian]

yeah, but when I update people would go to the latest chapter and not find it, woe. ;_; And teamwork 1 and 2 are already posted separately. It's okayish to have a sequel, but a half-dozen of them? people get annoyed. Or they forget to check the profile for the sequels when the first one's done. or stuff. *sigh*

there's no good solution. T_T *sobs*

[lissiel.livejournal.com]

just post a note at the last chapter being like "hey, there's more!" and like... maybe post a link if you can? That'd make it easy.

[edenfalling]

Don't you already have a 'chaptered story' called Teamwork Sidestories or something like that? With the babyfics? If not, I'd say that would be a good idea -- you can have them all together for gathering reviews, and as sanjuno said, you could rearrange them within the 'story' to keep the sidefics in chronological order.

[askerian]

the sidefics is mostly post-baby stuff that you don't need to read for the main fics, though. The one-shots would kind of need to be here... I think. ^^;

I don't know. There really is no perfect solution. *flops* Oh well, i've got a few months before i have to decide. XD

"Teamwork 2.5- a collection of one-shottish things in between teamworks 2 and 3. Actually kind of important to the plot."

Ok, not ideal, but it might work.

[puppy-scribbles.livejournal.com]

Anything's fine as long as you keep posting. Any real fan would find your fics as long as they're here or on ff.n.

By the way, I updated the Kitty fic again: cookie? (http://puppy-scribbles.livejournal.com/tag/mating+season) Hope it helps cheer you up. ^^

*snerk* heh, cute.

whee, thanks^^ i'm going to bed now, so no time to read; tomorrow, promise.

AND YOU HAVEN'T CREDITED ME FOR THE ICON. BAD. BAD. *thwaps with rolled up newspaper*

erm...

[puppy-scribbles.livejournal.com]

I did in the comments... ^^; whooops? ^^;

Re: erm...

[puppy-scribbles.livejournal.com]

There put it in the pic comment...and in the journal entry. ^^

[lissiel.livejournal.com]

you could post the side-fics as a collection and then just post a note about what they are at the top, so it won't matter if they're out-of-order, or what. And then people won't have to run all over looking for it.

[bootoye.livejournal.com]

I think once you post in the Teamwork universe people will find it and read it.

However, for those who will discover this delicious story after you are through with it then you can release all the side-fics together in one Teamwork One-Shots story and put them in chronological chapter order.

Hope I helped!

I missed this post before. Too caught up in the main storyline. I've got an idea. Since you say that the one-shots have to do with in-between Teamwork 2 and 3, why don't you call the one-shots something like Teamwork Chronicles:(insert name of story). That way they don't exactly have to be in order, will still have to do with each other and the main storyline.

I hope that you got my explanation. I generally suck at them. Really I do.

[askerian]

ohh. This might have potential. Maybe not "chronicles" exactly, but the idea... hm. thank you^^
