It’s an actually popular thing associated with LessWrong, and it’s a good place for the comments. Putting the threads in the discussion section is hardly onerous. We could date them rather than number them, like the Open Threads.
It’s not really a problem. Currently we are in a phase of rapid fic updates so there’ll be lots of comments, but afterwards it’ll slow down again for some months, I’m sure...
The official policy is “new thread after 500 comments”. It looks like this is going to turn into a serious annoyance; two chapters pushed the last one to 500+ in 10 days, and there are another 5 chapters coming up soon.
It’s going to be a little silly if you make one of these every two weeks.
Edit: I regret this comment for reasons that are spelled out in the replies.

True, but I can forsee clutter. (Ah, well,it sounds completely trivial when I put it into words like that.)
Discussion runs pretty fast, y’know …
I think it’s better than the inconvenience of not being able to see all the comments in a thread at once because there’s over 500 of them.
Surely there’s a parameter that somebody could change in the bowels of this site?

This is why we need subreddits on this site.
