Terry Pratchett didn't write in chapters, instead breaking each section with a line of asterisks, which a reviewer used as a knock against his books. Pratchett happily included that review on his book covers, taking the slight as praise. His direct response to this was: "Life doesn't happen in chapters - at least, not regular ones."
He also enjoyed a good footnote, sometimes including several per page, and just occasionally a footnote inside a footnote.
