Beastly Winter -- a serial speculative fiction story.
A branch snapped, as if his daddy had stepped on it, but his father wasn’t there. Sonny had an idea what had caused that pop.
The puppy must be bigger than he’d thought.

Tips
Remember, readers, will be reading a bit at a time over months, if not years. Every chapter should include reminders of what just happened. The more subtle the show, the better. Tell is obnoxious used this way. If you later release in novel format, you can go back and edit where this is janky.
Per above: You need to keep your readers interested over a long period of time. They will not forgive you for breaking your initial covenant with them. (See fanservice below.)
Have a clear picture of your characters and/or world. Otherwise, your work will wander all over the place. Remember, you don’t have the luxury of going back and editing it for consistency.
Per above: Once it's out there, it’s out there.
Readers are more forgiving of McGuffins. You need hooks for later and foreshadowing. Chekhov’s gun only applies if the gun is smoking.
The pace is different. There is less room for info-dumping, transitional chapters, etc. On the flip side, there is more tolerance for something that is interesting but may not advance the plot.
Readers like some fanservice, but don’t let it take over. I define fanservice as something your specific audience enjoys, be it sex, food, fights, or heroics. Spread it out, and if you notice that you have delivered on the goodies for a few EPs/chapters, throw something in. If you republish as a novel, you can edit it out if you don’t like it.
Anchor each character with some identifiable traits so readers don’t lose track of them.
There are a bunch of them, more than enough to give you something to think about.
- Oh, yes. YMMV/ Rules are meant to be broken. I am not a kami of writing, just another hack doing my best.

What do you like/not like about releasing work this way? Any tips, sites, or software recommendations? Anything that surprised you about it? 1/2
What I like best.
- It keeps me honest with writing. I have regular goals that are small enough to envision achieving.
- It is the dominant format in the publication channels I use. Which allows me to write and publish without worrying about marketing, formatting to publication sites' specifications, and Corpo censorship (Amazon and credit card companies, I'm looking at you.)

Long running TV serials.
The writers always go insane somewhere around seasons 5, don't they.

Previously… and Next time… bits are irritating. Do audiences no longer have memories?
Binge watching just makes these segments even more absurd.
But people who put new material before the opening credits, so stopping you skipping the redundant stuff should be eviscerated.

Milestones for the Deep Backfile project.
Back in 2020-2021, while the Penn Libraries were largely closed, many of our librarians worked from home on the Deep Backfile project. Faced with more demand than ever for online access to our collections while most users couldn't go into our libraries, we researched the copyrights of some of the many thousands of journals, magazines, newspapers, and other serials in our collections.

Some news for folks interested in #copyright in #serials, and the #PublicDomain:
- I've updated my "Determining copyright status of serial issues" guide, including updates for #PublicDomainDay 2024 and other relevant recent copyright developments: https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/decisions.html
- I've also taken the detailed copyright questionnaire that Penn librarians used to document copyright in serials we hold, and made it available for Wikipedians. Here's my lightning talk with details: https://everybodyslibraries.com/2024/01/16/free-the-sources/

J’ai découvert par hasard qu’il existait un magnifique #artbook rassemblant les concept arts et illustrations de Kevin Conran pour le film #SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow.
Évidemment, instabuy, comme on dit.

Serials were popular from the dawn of cinema. In 1945, Columbia Pictures released their 25th serial, Brenda Starr, Reporter. Joan Woodbury played Brenda Starr, a lady who found herself in peril at the end of each episode, but somehow managed to escape at the beginning of the next episode. I’ve seen the series. It’s dialogue-driven, and a good example of its genre.
