After making about 7th or 8th attempt at this story, I have to finally admit it would work better as a video game than a novel. Instead of one person's linear story, it's more an interconnected collection of multiple people's stories, none of which really stand alone. And it'd be more interesting if you could discover the chapters in your preferred order, at your own pace, instead of me forcefeeding it to the reader page by page. But I'm not making games any day soon.

I have a bit of a problem. Not with writing but presentation. I'm working on a web serial, which I hope to finish and get posted soon. It's expected to run for about three months or so. The thing is, the story is pretty summer-y, but I'll only be able to complete it by October or November earliest. Which means, people will get to read a summer story in the middle of the darkest winter, and that's kind of fucked up.

The question is, do you personally care about stuff like that at all while reading, or am I just being autistic for no reason? I could also postpone the story until April or so, and twiddle my thumbs for half a year, but that's not a very brilliant idea either. I'm kind of fucked in any case, but which is the lesser evil?
