Ficlets looks great too - and it is what I had in mind (although I suppose I was thinking of resurrecting my own dreams to be a fiction author, but I can certainly see the benefits of writing in a community as well). Thanks once again for reading and for your thoughtful comments :) Best regards, Andrew Hi Jeri,

thanks for your comment :)

I've never followed one but I think the format would be conducive to building suspense, if you could find an audience. In a related media, my son is a frequent comic blogger on a forum called Drunk Duck. He's working on moving from standalone strips to a series comic - and the media certainly works well for that. One of his favorite series has some 600 posts in it, some of the work is very professional. Have you ever checked out the <a href="http://www.ficlets.com" rel="nofollow">Ficlets</a> forum? It's a community for writing short-short serial fiction - except folks can write prequels and sequels to each others' work. Pretty fun. I haven't written out there in a long time but it's pretty fun. (my SN over there is Saffron) Good food for thought! Hmm… I’ve never followed one but I think the format would be conducive to building suspense, if you could find an audience.
