It sounds like a lot of people have been burned by amateur efforts.
You may want to keep the idea open for something more like "subscriptions" and "series" as opposed to "serial." A subscription implies a guarantee, for one thing. (And you already have people publishing things like series.)
As I mentioned above, I'm playing with a serial blog as a promotional thing (and I'm only putting up works that are FINISHED, and are or will be available as a whole unit) - I'll let you know if it seems to take on any level of success.
