April 2014 ficlist and a poll

Just a wee bit late with this one. *shhhh*

The Doctor's Doctor, Sherlock Holmes (ACD canon), Doctor Anstruther thought his working day was over. It wasn't, rated G 200 words ([livejournal.com profile] watsons_woes)
The Armor's Chink, Arrow, It was an opportunity Sara couldn't resist, rated PG, 200 words

Summary:
 It was an opportunity Sara couldn't resist. ([livejournal.com profile] fan_flashworks)
Ghost of a Chance, NCIS/Mag7 stealth crossover, It wasn't the murder weapon, but it was a murder weapon, rated G, 692 words ([livejournal.com profile] fan_flashworks)
The Elixir of Maybe, Captain America, spoilers for CA:TWS, It was a new day and, for once, the Winter Soldier was in charge of his own future, rated G, 100 words ([livejournal.com profile] fan_flashworks)

3 ficlets, 1 drabble. 4 stories for 1192 words

My remix story is still anon but I'll be linking to that after reveals and *gulp* this Thursday I'll be posting my FIC-O-DOOM, which is currently at beta. It is a little less than 40k words long and I have been thinking about how to post it. In this case the fic has POV switches which would make good breaking periods, but they are uneven, at (give or take) 7k, 3k, 6k, 4k, 6k, 4k, 10k. So I have a question for all of you:

Okay, I can't get the poll to work so just let me know if you reading a 40k fic, would rather it was posted on AO3:

1) All in one chapter.
2) In several chapters, broken up according to plot flow.
3) In several chapters of equalish length.
or
4) Some other option I will explain in the comments.

Opinions? Suggestions? Anyone?

That's true. :) You are very wise.

Only because I have played the 'how long should this chapter be?' game many times.
