This poll is really for readers, and we'd appreciate it if authors do not answer. This is their market, and skewing the poll by answering it is silly

I cannot answer the poll on story publishing rates because there is nothing that pushes my button.
There is a vast difference between publishing 15 chapters a week and 15 stories a week. 15 items/week can come anywhere within that spectrum.
Although not entirely true I avoid serials, but if they are recommended, I read them when the stories are complete.
If the authors wish to serialise their stories, I would suggest that an item consists of 3 chapters. I know from experience that there is a queue of about 7 weeks between submission and posting which shows that there is a surfeit of material. If it looks as if the queue of material is likely to run out, then the chapters can be rationed.
To sum up, I am content with 15 items a week, but not with 15 chapters a week. Also I would like to see more (complete) short stories.

I answered as a reader. You publish as you see fit. I don't understand a set 15 items a week, as backlog and deficits should be considered, as well as short, serial, or multi-chaptered stories should all be done in different ways, ideally. One week ten, next 17, next 12, so on, depending on what is being published. A huge short published as a single post should count as more than a single item? While a short-short two-part might be considered a single item?
Just do what you guys want to do.
It works.
