I think the main thing that makes a serialization work is having it fully written out in advance. Because the production on them takes up all the time you'd spend writing them (if they weren't finished) and you'd miss deadlines (which would be deeply disappointing.)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982344156620230323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-506929967736552152011-12-09T21:27:03.899-08:002011-12-09T21:27:03.899-08:00Hi diana,

I must admit to be slightly concerned about how I would approach a serial, but I've <i>really</i> enjoyed madly speculating about various plots and worrying about the characters.<br /><br />Ginn - I thought you were very circumspect WRT tidbits - I kept hoping you might slip with some little nugget of information :) And I didn't realize you had to pierce The Rifter back together! I'm so glad you published it - I've really, really enjoyed it. (And I didn't think anything could top Lord of the White Hell :)<br /><br /><i>I am very seriously considering revisiting the characters fro Lord of the White Hell.</i><br /><br />*looks around wildly for potential offering*<br /><br />And...I know I already have a copy of The Rifter, but if it's OK I would love to be entered into the draw - not for me, but for a friend who I know loved The Lord of the White Hell. (I got told off for not lending her both print copies at the same time, because she devoured the first). She has been waiting for the serial to be completely released, and since she was caught in an earthquake earlier this year I'd love to gift it to her (if I was lucky enough to win).

After a number of publishers taold me as much, I actually threw the manuscript away and went on to write the Lord of the White Hell.<br /><br />Then Nicole approached me about publishing The Rifter as a serial... and then I was in the kind of embarrassing position of having to ask members of my writing group if they still had any copies. <br /><br />Luckily, between other writers and Nicole herself we managed to piece together the manuscript. :DGinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543088277874490045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-34785861580733256732011-12-08T13:24:05.901-08:002011-12-08T13:24:05.901-08:00Hey Eva,
