If you're going to do that, it's best to leave it at a branch cliffhanger. (IE let the author continue the cliffhanger of whether s/he dies)

I'll post a chapter that puts my character up to date in a bit. I need to read it over though and make sure it's fluid, containing enough details, and understandable. That and I want to see if I can extend it any longer becuase every else has uberlong chapters >O.
