So, while pondering the usages of twitter as an advertising tool, I wondered whether or not “web-serial” could justify its own hashtag. So I do a search for it – and find entries. And somewhere among these entries, I see reference to a wiki-page. A WIKI-PAGE! And go check on it.
And sure enough, there’s a new wiki-page. New because there was already a wiki-page in 2003 or 2004-ish, thanks to an enterprising friend of mine, which mentioned that I exist. But I digress.
Anyway, so on said wiki-page, there’s links to web-pages that are devoted to reviewing and linking web-serials.
So I go to the first two, I’m sure there’s more to find and I’ll do that some other night, and of course I submit my web-serial to be approved to be linked.
But it’s dumb-founding, to be honest. When I first started 1k1in, there was nothing on ‘net about web-serials. I think there was one other that popped up around the same time. But for the most part, no one had heard of, nor read, a web-serial. And now, seven years later, it’s here. Wiki pages, web-serials, reviewers, everything. Where the hell was everyone, seven years ago.
