Written in parts, read in order.
For work that arrives in chapters. Series navigation, a running position indicator and a table of contents that remembers where the reader stopped.
Serialised writing fights the blog archive, which is ordered newest first. A reader arriving at part nine has no obvious route back to part one.
Here a series is a real object with an order, a position indicator and a resume point. Arriving in the middle offers the beginning; leaving and returning offers where you stopped.
Readers actually finish the series now.
— A serial novelist
Reading in order.
Series as an object
A series has its own page, its own order and its own feed, separate from the reverse-chronological archive.
Resume point
The reader position is remembered in their own browser and offered on return, with nothing stored server side.
Forward navigation
Next and previous move through the series order rather than by publication date.
Position indicator
Progress through the part and through the whole series, shown together.
The rest of the serial apparatus.
