[FFML] [Inquiry] Hearts and Minds

[kls]

I think you have little to lose to repost the series as a whole. I read it a
while ago but remember essentially nothing at this point.

Subject: [FFML] [Inquiry] Hearts and Minds

As you may know, I've been finishing up my long-running (and long
dormant) series Hearts and Minds (or HaM for short). Over the past couple of
months I've posted parts 8 and 9 and am currently about halfway through a
rough draft of the final chapter.

I realize the FFML isn't what it once was, but the lack of response on these
chapters concerns me. Part 7, posted last year, got only one response. Part
8 got none at all, and Part 9 has so far after being out for about a week
gotten none either. I think this series has potential to be one of the best
things I've written, but it's frustrating not knowing whether what I'm
putting out is any good or even whether anyone is reading it.

I'm wondering if one possible reason for these chapters disappearing into
the void is that people haven't seen the older ones. This series dates back
to 1999 so it's understandable that a lot of people might be new to the list
since then, and others may have forgotten about it.

So my question here is, should I post the old chapters again?  
Specifically, would posting (possibly) final revisions of the older
chapters, say at a rate of one per week, make anyone more likely to read
(and hopefully comment on) the newer ones including the conclusion?

Please let me know. I do finish what I start, and I'm not threatening to
take my ball and go home, so even if I don't hear from anyone I'll still
post the final part once it's ready.
