TheAardvark posted:I wonder whether we might have lost something by no longer having serialized novels. I posted about a similar thing in the general discussion thread - characters like Sherlock Holmes with huge histories of short stories and intervening novels. There isn't really a market for a novel spread over months of publishing, or characters reappearing between short stories, because short stories just don't have a popular audience anymore. I tried serialized novels, as opposed to short stories, twice in the last decade. Once with John Scalzi's The Human Division and again with KJ Parker's Two of Swords. I didn't enjoy it at all - short bits of the story and then immediately waiting for more, basically like reading Robert Jordan in fast-forward.
