Hi! Oh awesome, I’m so glad you’re enjoying Scrivener.
I personally prefer to work with my betas in Google Docs. (At least when you get to the smaller SPAG (spelling and grammar) and line-edit stages; for what I prefer in earlier stages, see below.) So when I get to that point, I either copy and paste the chapters into separate files in Docs, OR, I export .txt files from Scrivener [file>export>files], then batch upload them into gDocs. It depends on my mood and how many chapters I have to deal with.
(Now that Google has Drive it’s made everything complicated and horrible. So I find it’s just easier to create files and folders in Docs itself, and leave Drive out of it. YMMV.)
I work in Markdown, always, because that way I can deal with plaintext files and not worry about formatting. So it stays in Markdown right up until I want to put it on AO3, at which point I convert it to html.
And that’s that.
But also…
I don’t know if this is something you’re interested in doing, but for longer pieces I tend to want feedback on the whole shebang first, before we get into details. If that’s the case, I compile the entire thing into an easily-legible format [file>compile] like .epub or .pdf so my betas can read at their leisure. They can get back to me on what’s missing.
(Hell, it’s even nice for me; I like to read on my phone and take notes, and then I can go back in and fix stuff. iBooks syncs notes made right within the text between iBooks on my computer and the app on my phone, which is super helpful, and I’d be willing to bet other digital infrastructures will let you do similar things. Maybe Kindle will? And maybe some Android systems?)
Anyway, that’s that. Thanks for asking! Let me know if you have more questions.
