I love reading and writing in series!
Creative Writing with the Crimson League
Series fiction is popular. That’s not news to anyone. But why is it so crazily consumed these days? What aspects of series fiction attract us? What can a series accomplish that a standalone work cannot?
I am a huge sitcom fan. Most of my favorite sitcoms ran for over 7 or 8 years, so they are long and established series.
I got to thinking today about how I wrote a trilogy, which is its own kind of series, though in a different medium than sitcoms.
That led to me thinking about why I love to consume as well as produce series. What is it about a series that makes us want to keep going beyond one installment? (Beside cliffhangers. I don’t like cliffhangers. I’ve written before about why I don’t end my series novels with cliffhangers.)
I’m not saying series fiction and television are better than “one and done”…
