Red face To Serialize or Not to Serialize, That is the ...

Question? Where would literature be without experimentation? I remember reading serials as a young pup. They were mostly comics. Didn't newspapers publish them to keep readers? I would hate to see this writing form go to the wayside, but there needs be a few sideboards in place.

1. They should be offered as a special category.
2. The story should be submitted in its entirety before being serialized.
3. The number of serializations should be specified and the potential reader so advised.
4. The price per serial should be commensurate with what the book's price would have been if purchased as a whole.

P.S. Your poll is a bit skewed. It is either yes or no. You offer no choice in the gray area such as: I have read serials and I might read serials.
