Q I appreciate that you are trying the "chapter" approach to the Hugo story. Instead of daily chapters, though, you have daily abstracts that provide almost no information. If you are going to do a daily chapter, then update each of the threads as to what they were doing on that day- not just that "teaser" that does not have enough narrative to be worth reading.

A: Bobbi, you've put your finger on the challenge of this concept. The point is to be compelling, but also relatively brief. If we had updated each character daily, the story would have grown very long in a hurry. However, I realize that some readers would have preferred that length over the 40 lines of type that we restricted the story to on most days.
