I’m considering what I want to do with it later, whether I want to publish in other locations or on a website of my own, and so on. Aside from the fact that I’ll be starting a new part-time job soon, I’ve set it to update once per week so that I have time to mull over this decision.
Though, I do wonder if on AO3 or FictionPress if it would get lost in the sea of fiction writing.
Actually, part of it is that I’m not entirely sure what to do with it.

The impression I get is that unless the book is published, it doesn’t really count, socially. But I don’t read a lot of fiction, so maybe that isn’t accurate.
And then publishing it might get it more readers by making it cost more and thus perceived as higher status, putting it on the shelves, etc. (And if I put the whole thing on one of those sites, it may not be possible to publish.)
On the other hand, within our community, there are works that become famous with no commercialization, there might be other means of commercialization, or no-commercialization might be better in order to spread my name, the future will not be the past, and so on.
