I am generally a believer in the wisdom of crowds, but in this case I strongly disagree.
Eliminate serials? So basically the argument is that the story must be full and complete in the original publication...
That means that Smashwords wouldn't publish, let's see...Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, the Shannara series, the Chronicles of Narnia, Burroughs' Tarzan and John Carter series, Conan...
No Green Mile, no Hitchiker's Guide, no shared-universe stories like Wild Cards or Forgotten Realms
No Ender's Game series, no sequel to Mote in God's Eye, no more Rama novels, no 2012
No Star Wars novels, no prose version of Babylon 5 or Lost or Battlestar Galactica or Dr. Who or 24 or Buffy or Angel or any television series with a story arc for that matter.
No prose versions of comic books: no Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, X-Men...
No freakin' Whedonverse!!!
All because these stories are serialized.
They say people vote with their wallets. The wallets show that this poll is grossly inaccurate.
