No, not another blog chain post. The post title is just relevant. I’ve officially released the site that’s hosting my online serial, Dawn, which can be found by going here–http://dawncreation.wordpress.com.

If you’re still unfamiliar with what a web serial actually is and haven’t visited any of the excellent stories listed on the Serial page in the sidebar, then I think you’re missing out. A web serial is usually an ongoing novel posted on the internet, usually on a blog, for people to read for free. It’s providing your written work to the public directly without any agents or publishers, printers or any middlemen really. They’re more closely centered in niche markets and they’re still relatively small in numbers compared to something like a web comic but with all of the media products surrounding downloadable books and such, it really isn’t much of a surprise that novels are going by the way of blogs. Think of it more in terms of traditional serials found in newspapers and magazines when they were still interested in the literary. Same concept except applied to the internet.
