I think that most people know the difference between a say 1 chapter a month for 7 months with the final end to the story being complete with the 7th chapter as a Serial, vs complete books with a beginnings, middles & ends that happens to have multiple books but each book is complete within itself as a Series.

I have quite a few Series right now including Fern Michaels Sisterhood series, Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake & Merry Gentry series. All continue with the story & characters, but because each book is complete in itself, if they stopped now I wouldn't feel bad.

This could easily happen with the Sisterhood series since Fern Michaels is quite old & while she might have the end of the series planned out, no one knows if they've been written yet.

But the posting of 1 or 2 chapters at a time just to draw things out is aggravating as hell & I don't read them since I've been left hanging too many times when reading a good fan fiction story & then it never got completed.

So to pay money for that kind of a story to possibly end up stuck with it not being finished would set me off big time!
