I love the idea, if done right, to bring back the short form pulp.

If used as "Here's only Chapter 1 - 3 of my $15.99 novel" then I'm going to have an issue.

Kudos to Torres. I wanted to be the first person to post this one, but you beat me to the bunch

As a writer who seems to specialize in the Sub-70 range, I'm all for a return to serailized and short form novellas.

But my idea of serialization may be different from other people's perspective. I want a complete, concise story in the serial. Cliffhanger ending preferred. I don't want Chapter 1 of the Next Great American Novel to read 40 pages of nothing happening until the last page and a half.

If Joe Awesome, the Super Spy goes on an adventure to infiltrate the Russian Space Mine, I want him to infiltrate the Russian Space Mine and get the data he needs to get. We'll worry about getting home in Episode 2.
