Still reading the thread (on p38), but am increasingly motivated to turn my fanfic into a serial :D Getting lots of ideas from posters here.

I thought serials didn't sell anymore and you have to do 50k-word romance (and do it really, really well) if you want to make even a couple thousand per month?

More precisely, I have ~375k words in TG, and am ramping up to get to 500k (mil scifi). My understanding is that packaging it in 20k serials would be the most optimal, but I am open to advice :D Im a disabled vet and rent is no issue, any sales would be beer money/student loans or whatever.

Yo, I do milscifi and I'm not aware of any serials that are rocking it. Look at the top milscifi guys and no one is doing 10k serials. Everyone is doing 70k-100k per novel series.

Not saying you won't sell well, but you may discover more impact with a traditional length story.

It would certainly be cheaper that way, and there are some natural breaks around those areas. My readers were concerned that if I made a big slab of a book and it didn't sell, it would be more disheartening than having ~20 products. Although making 3 larger books and slabbing together for an omnibus does have appeal.

I'd need to check the actual distro rights, a reader commissioned this for me. But, thoughts as a cover?
