Adding a part 2 to an existing story

[The Gladheateher]

How would I do this?
i submitted a story recently, and then decided that a Part 2 from my wife's point of view might be interesting.
It is ready to submit, I just want to be sure I do it correctly.

Submit as normal, use the same title as the previous post but with "Ch. 02" at the end.

Sounds easy enough - thanks

Bramblethorn said it. It's easy to post multi chapters but it's also good not to wait too long between chapters because readers will lose interest of just forget about it. The longest thing I've done here is five chapters but I completed all five first. Then submitted Chapter 1. I submitted each subsequent chapter at periods of about 4-5 days. Eventually it was all there for people to find, but during the interim, I would sometimes get feedback like "When are you going to do the next chapter....waiting."

Is the story really a serial, a sequence of chapters? Or are they fairly standalone episodes? If the latter, you can go alphabetic instead of numeric like my contest entry THE BOTANISTS: AN ADVENTURE. I plan a sequel that doesn't *need* the first to make sense, and I'll call that THE BOTANISTS: BERKELEY BLUES. A further episode might be THE BOTANISTS: CALIFORNIA DREAMING. LIT's warez will automagically group those as THE BOTANISTS series but I've hopefully made clear that they're as independent as, say, the James Bond or Travis McGee books.

But if you're writing a true serial then call each one something like MY STORY and MY STORY 02 and MY STORY 03 etc.
