Yeah, I know I usually use the weekends for my
Authors Helping Authors segments, but I came across a publishing company that is helping to expand serialized fiction and maybe by helping them, I'll be helping authors. After all, the more venues to get work out there, the better. I'm talking about:
It's a storytelling platform that is evolving how writers deliver content to readers. They create and distribute stories as serials with episodes created in collaborative story worlds called "serial boxes" Each box will contain several serials from different authors (about 10 each). Readers will receive new stories weekly.
They are focusing on stories of science fiction and fantasy. Right now Fiction Vortex is running a
Kickstarter. I just backed it and if you think it might be interesting to you, give it a look see.
This is a great idea they have going on at Vortex. It's pulp fiction for the digital age. I'm not sure if I like the idea of the audience having a sway over the actual direction of the story though. That's a whole can of worms...
