Handling Bizarrely Large Story Concepts

  1. I'm thinking about working on one of those sprawling CCG fanfic stories, and I have a question about handling sprawl.

    The concept consists of short stories, longer works ("campaigns"), and a quick play brothel mode. It would probably be easier for me as an author to upload them as as separate stories, since the story map would stay more contained, and there'd be less of a menu up front. At the same time, I'm worried about accessibility and visibility. Would you folks recommend spreading them out, or just dealing with a somewhat cumbersome larger file?

    Thank you for your time.

    I say spread 'em, they don't sound like they would appeal to the same audience...

    It honestly sounds like something a bit better suited for a Twine game, but I'd agree with Nemo - if you label things clearly, it might be easier to organize them as a series of stories in the same "family" rather than one sprawling story.
