I think at its core, a serial involves an existing universe where short stories could take place. (YMMV) Consider, even Holmes started as a novel before he hit the big time with serialized cases.

This means my “Epsilon Project” qualifies. However, within that serial universe, each story itself comprises about 15 installments. A serial within a serial? (Yo dawg, I heard you like serials so...) Or is it releasing a novel chapter by chapter - on the fly? (2/6)

#WebAuthorsCafe Wk Aug 18: Write serial format? Why?

Yes. And no. There’s a lot to unpack.

The main reason I write this way is I grew up with shows like “Babylon 5” and “Quantum Leap”. Self contained episodes having a different event or character focus. Yet B5 is *serialized*, as there is an arc or order, while QL is *series* based, you can scramble entries and it still makes sense.

Hmm. Effectively the opposite of the definition @Ink_Soul found earlier. (1/6)

#WebAuthorsCafe Wk Aug 11: Prefer fanfiction or original work?

Twenty-five years ago I preferred fanfiction. It was great, no world building involved (I dislike doing that) and you already have people searching for it.

The past ten years, I've preferred original works. Most of my knowledge is out of date, and I don't have time to upgrade it to recent works. Urban fantasy lets me dodge around (most) world building, and I avoid upsetting anyone should I write against canon.

#WebAuthorsCafe Wk Aug 4: Your flagship work

When I started, that would have been personified math. Still exists on Tapas, but never caught on.

Now, "Time & Tied" is the flagship, as it's the one I'm currently writing the sequel for, the one I use with prompts, and it even led to me having short stories published.

Carrie is a cheerleader who becomes a vessel for great temporal power. Time shenanigans everywhere.

#WebAuthorsCafe Wk Jul 28: Writing past month?

It's all edits at the moment (unless you count my journal). But I got through a chunk of "Untied" - the sequel - which I'm pleased with.

There's also smoothing things over in the original "Time & Tied" story. Because I'm (re)posting to AO3, so you can get caught up on it here:

I'm Jess, I'm a queer, disabled, autistic, Jewish author. I mostly write spec fic, most of which is first released as serials then bundled as eboooks, and some nonfic essays.

I'm currently rebooting my webserials, expect to start posting again sometime in August.

You can read my essays on my website:

I imagine most of you know who I am. I am a prolific writer of serialized OG #Yuri, weird tales, and #FanFiction. All available on AO3 and PIXIV. (When I say prolific, I am still dwarfed by many here.) I write mainly queer fiction, some fetish fiction, poly and families of choice and some with ASD and ace characters. All of which provide me with an umbrella to shelter under.

Most of my serial writing is on the web. I've also made a webcomic, song parody videos, and non-fiction comic/anime reviews. Primarily urban fantasy and/or time travel themes, with romance subplots. Sometimes yuri/FF. The comic was mathematical with word play.

Been on AO3 (old fanfics there too), RoyalRoadL, Tapas and more, including my own site. Links:
