Comics and Manga[edit]

There is no reference to comics or manga in this article. Considering that manga is often considered "serialized," it would be a beneficial addition to this article to mention these types of works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.64.213 (talk) 03:32, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Serialization in Japanese magazines[edit]

Related to the above comment, I think there should also be a section on serialization in Japanese magazines. Serializations of novels (mostly Light Novels) are very popular in Japan, and it also looks like the principle is finding its way into the West through Webserials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motormind (talkcontribs) 08:44, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Serial novel[edit]

At present Serial novel redirects here. I believe this is correct but I've become aware of the use of the term "serial" to describe a collaborative fiction work where the story is passed from writer to writer who each adds a chapter. It's written "serially" but published/released as a single work.

  • Naked Came the Phoenix: A Serial Novel "An all-star lineup of 13 women mystery authors has produced one madcap, murderous tale in the same serial fashion as Naked Came the Manatee (1996)."[1]
  • The Chopin Manuscript: A Serial Thriller[2]
  • No Rest for the Dead "More than twenty New York Times bestselling authors team up to create a first-rate serial novel"[3]
  • Watchlist: Two Serial Thrillers in One Killer Book[4]

I have not looked for a WP:RS that could be used to document this usage/definition of serial literature. --Marc Kupper|talk 02:52, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Fascicle[edit]

I was redirected here from Fascicle (book). It would be good to include the pronunciation of the latter. JKeck (talk) 16:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming[edit]

This Wikipedia page should mention Donald Knuth , parts of whose famous TAOCP volumes are or will be available as fascicles. This is a very famous seminal text that earned him the 1974 Turing Award . 217.112.168.122 (talk)

Lord of the Rings?[edit]

Would Lord of the Rings be considered a serial, since it is really one book with three seperate volumes? Superdadsuper (talk) 01:38, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
