I have been working on a certain fantasy series in my head since I was 16 years old (I'm turning 33 this year) and I am finally going to start writing it tonight. I don't have an actual outline as this is something that I have been developing in my head for a long, long time. I guess you could say the outline is in my head.
I was thinking that it would actually work quite well if I developed this as a serial and published it that way. Each season could represent a full book in the series. I would probably have something like 3 seasons of the serial, unless people ask for more, and then who knows?
Does anyone think it's possible to sell an epic fantasy serial fairly well? Something along the lines of Dragonlance / D&D, kind of a sword and sorcery type of situation? I have been thrilled with the idea of doing a continuing story, but I wasn't sure if that genre would be compatible. I would likely do 5 or 6 parts in each season and then bundle it together for $4.99 or so when it's completed. I'm sure I should probably make the first episode .99 or even free for that matter.
I could always just do it as a complete book and release it that way, but the concept of writing episodes of a sword and sorcery serial with episodes just seems fun! Thoughts?
