I am looking into what people recommend as a release method for their Fics, specifically whether it is better to release it all at once, or stagger the chapter release.

I have so far posted 2 Star Wars Fics on AO3, and I noticed that both times there was a pattern to peoples interaction with those Fics when I released the entire thing all at once. For the first week or so, there would be a steady stream of Hits, Kudos and Comments, but then they would dramatically die off, and they would go from getting several Kudos a day to maybe one a week. That made me wonder if perhaps releasing a Fic all at once isn't the best method.

Now, I'm asking because while yes, I enjoy the feeling of numbers going up, but I also want to reach as many people as possible with my Fics so that they can be enjoyed, which is why I'm looking for a perhaps more optimal release method.

What does everyone think, is there a release method that tends to result in more people finding your Fic, or is it just how these things go?

I am writing a Star Wars Fanfic and I need to have a descent number of plants from across the Star Wars galaxy available for me to use. As such, I am asking for any recommendations for plants that you guys know of that you like or think are interesting, and why you think I should add them to the story!

I would prefer that they have a specific use or role if at all possible. Possible roles/use include:

1. Predatory plants

2. Structural plants (plants that grow pretty large and sturdy)

3. Edible plants/Plants that grow edible parts (especially ones that are easily grown and easily consumed)

4. Plants with unique properties such as ones that make people heal faster, etc

5. Useful plants (plants that can be used for useful things such as making cloth or for construction, etc)

These are just some possible ideas, but I'll take anything that you think would be interesting to add to the story (I'll even take some plants that do nothing but look cool, though preferably not as many as the more useful or interactive plants)

Thanks in advance!
