Your input is needed please my friends...

I have a question (at the end), but first some brief background: when I started my Patreon, I made a single commitment: one piece of art or a story of at least 4 pages each MONTH. I never wanted my creativity to be crippled by HAVING to churn out out stuff more frequently. I never wanted it to feel like a job, and as a result, every single piece I create (even the not so great ones) comes from a place of passion.
Over the past 2 years, since the pandemic, I've had a lot more more time, and as a result have created a lot more art and stories for you, and I have fallen into a weekly upload schedule.
My computer system is more powerful thanks to you, which means I can create multi-angle, multi-image art much faster (it used to take over a day per render - plus retouching!). Stories have also expanded from 4 to 10, 12 often 16 pages long, and they sometimes take me a week or two to write. I think my stories are much better when I sit on them for a while, without rushing to publish. But, when a piece takes two weeks to create, it makes no sense to give that away as a single week's story. I try to vary the uploads so that they will satisfy the various interests of you terrific Patrons, which can mean a story getting split with other uploads falling in between.
So here's my question: with these longer stories, would you sooner receive them in one part, but less frequently, with weeks between additional posts, or in two or even three parts spread over a 2 or 3 weeks - with something in the mail regularly?

Perhaps send the parts as they are ready but note that the more is coming. Part 1 (of 4) then the next time would be Part 1-2 (of 4) then the third time would be Parts 1-3 (of 4) Finally, Part 1-4 (final).That way, those who prefer to wait will get it all in one and know which one it is. Those who are impatient can read it as it becomes available.
