TheNextBigWriter Basic → points for some chapters of book, but not others
Pages 1
It looks to me that either every chapter in a book has to provide points or none can. Has anyone split a book into two, one part providing points and the other not? Especially, say, chapters 1-3, points, 4, no points, 5-6, points, 7-9, no points, staggered that way? Way too annoying, right? Half (beginning), points and half (end), no points?
If you post to the Premium group, then everything requires points, so no problem. And the "free" group is being phased out (if not already) so there will be no more zero points. Simplest thing to do until all freebies are gone (if not already) is to post and read from the Premium group. Problem solved. Take care. Vern

The immediate problem for me is I am on a bit of a deadline for a revision of a 35,000 word novella which requires, I think, 140 points to post into Premium, and there is little chance I will be able to gather that many points in a month's time reviewing, but I could post the first 4 chapters, say, for 10-12 points and the rest for free, although ideally it would be staggered according to those chapters I need help on, making the "publishing" too confusing, right?
Just create a new version if the book and publish it in the points group as you get the points. You can purchase some points if you absolutely need them fast. We had this on the old site and will be launching the option this week.
Sol:
How much longer will the free group be present? I also have a novel that is nearing completion (6 more chapters), and I have absolutely no chance to amass enough points to start posting it in a point group. i suppose I could tack on a parenthetic suffix to the title, but with only 6 more chapters to go, that's kind of pointless (no pun intended) in a 44-chapter novel.

Publish One - no points
Publish Two - points
Publish Three - points
Publish Four - no points
etc.
in sequence of chapters of the same book appears to not work but "versions of the same book" requires literal creation of two separate books one (One, Four, etc.) -no points- and then another (Two, Three, etc.) -points-
rather than one book with different versions of chapters according to points, or no points attached.
It also seems that publishing a chapter when several chapters already exist requires adding up all points for every chapter (rather than those points only for that one chapter) to publish.

If you are moving a book from a non-point group into a point group, then you must have the points to do it. The other way to do it is to start a new, point version of the book.

To get people to review your work, you need to review other writers. Either use the point system or spend some time reading and reviewing. The members on the site aren't going to read your writing if you don't show you will reciprocate.
