What Is Serial Fiction? | Welcome to The Plotline
CHAPTER 9
Your next chapter is calling.
Read it chapter by chapter.
Experience it as it happens.
I'm serializing some of my stories right here on the site. If you're new to serial fiction, here's how it works.
What Is Serial Fiction?
Instead of waiting until an entire novel is finished before you get to read it, serial fiction releases a story one chapter at a time.
And this isn't exactly a new idea. Some of the biggest names in fiction have told stories this way. Charles Dickens built an entire career around serialized novels, while authors like Alexandre Dumas, Frank Herbert, George R. R. Martin, and Stephen King have all released stories in installments.
Stephen King's The Green Mile, for example, was released in six monthly installments in 1996 before being collected into a single novel. King later took the idea online with The Plant, publishing it as an electronic serial directly through his website.
So yeah... you've seen this before.
I'm just bringing my own version of it to CHAPTER 9.
New chapter.
New plot twist.
New reason to yell at me.
Each serialized story gets its own page where you can find the cover, the story description, and a link to start reading.
Every chapter gets its own post. When you finish reading, you'll find links to the previous and next chapters so you can move through the story without getting lost.
Come back whenever a new chapter drops and pick up right where you left off.
Eventually, the story reaches the end. And when it does, you'll be just as invested in these people as I am.
You're Reading It As It Happens.
That's the part I love about serial fiction.
You meet the characters while the story is still unfolding. You get to sit with a chapter before the next one arrives. You get to make predictions, fall in love with characters, get mad at characters, and wonder what the hell is coming next.
That's part of the fun.
