Have you ever read, or for that matter written, a series and felt it went on too long? Are you the sort who will stick it out to the end no matter what, or do you bail on it?
I find I'm much less patient will long multi-chaptered stories than I used to be. I'm much less inclined to start them and much more inclined to bail on them. I think that's particularly true where there's no clear story arc, where it feels like it's just different variations of the same thing over and over. For an erotic story to hold my interest, I generally like to see it get steamier as the story progresses, and that's not always easy to manage from one chapter to the next.
I have, by the way, two series that I have not finished. I published three chapters of one and one chapter of the other and got stuck on what I wanted to do next. I'll finish them eventually, but I have other projects that interest me more.
