Fair warning -- publishers don't like it when a certain amount of the material has been put online already (I think the magic number is 10%? It varies probably). It's probably fine if there's heavy editing in your future, but it's something to be aware of when you're putting up huge portions like [@Keyguyperson] does.

Pfft. You know what the solution to that problem is?

Just make it [i]really, really[/i] long in the end! It's not like publishers won't throw out a 200,000 word epic from some random author!
