Excerpt length

Post by Fenris » December 1st, 2010, 5:46 pm

Hi Nathan,

Small question. In the excerpt section of the forums, would it be wiser to post only a few paragraphs rather than entire scenes? I'm just worried said paragraphs might make even less sense out of context than the scene would, but people might not want to bother with a whole scene.

I think it might be hard to make a general rule for this since the length of the salient section may vary from work to work, but it's a good point to bear in mind if someone is hoping to increase the odds of getting feedback.
