as a contrast i immediately afterward got another comment that substantively said "oh my gosh this thing you wrote makes me so scared and nervous that this character will get hurt or wind up marginalized but i have such faith in you that i'm hanging on for a good resolution" and I'm like yes! exactly! oh good! yes, it's the low point of his arc, i absolutely am going to fix it, I'm glad you're nervous because you should be at this point, it means I've done my job!"
So I replied to the first person and was like well, what you want is so specific I'm afraid the only way to surely get it is to write a story yourself! I wrote this story to be a particular way, it turns out!
No, I would not post unfinished work in a finished format. I post rough drafts and deleted scenes in places, but I can't imagine the nightmare of posting an active large work under revision? How would that even work, logistically? I don't know. Not with something that long.
