If you break the story down into two parts so it's posted on two threads to break up the critting, you would post a 1/2 and 2/2 as a matter of course anyway.
But if you wanted the manuscript to remain intact, you would post it in one thread. You could post a comment at the top saying something like "This is a long short story, but I don't want to break it up. I will, however offer double crit credits." Or something like that.
Then, when posting it to the database (because that has to be done in order for the critters to get their credits), even though it's posted in one thread, you can post it as "SS Enigmatic 1/2" and "SS Enigmatic 2/2" (only you would use the title rather than your screenname) to give critters the opportunity to claim double the credits.
Does that make sense?

Well, that was back when the OWW was free, so it wasn't that hard to flush my persona. Then I came back with a gender-neutral name. I was mostly working on something else back then (a fantasy novel I'm too ashamed to even dig off my hard drive) but I had posted this one chapter because I couldn't get it out of my head, and to see what folks thought of it. I didn't post any more of it for a long while, and by then it was a paid workshop and had almost no people just browsing.
But, yeah. I freaked.
