A simple question. WW is currently put out bi-weekly. Should it drop back to being a monthly?
My feeling: yes. Writers need time to tighten up the writing and plotting. Every now and then we have some stunt-publishing where a story is published every week. The first few issues are okay, but as the series goes on, it becomes apparent that the stories are being written too quickly for any decent editing or tightening of the storyline. The end result is that they end up being crap.
While not as bad as a weekly series, WW has been bi-weekly for a while now. When a new writer comes on, the first few issues are fine, but as time goes on the deadline pressure becomes obvious and the stories suffer: whether it is just by being too wordy, or plot holes appearing or things that should have been said are not being said. In short, the stories become sloppy. Given more time, a writer and editor could tighten up the story for a more pleasurable reading experience. The weakness I see in WW right now is simple: it comes out too frequently. I think it needs to go back to being monthly.
Am I wrong?
