Thanks to Mei-Lin Miranda for pointing out my mention here, which came from this article.
With Kindle Serials, Amazon hopes to reinvent a format that already exists. Jeff Bezos dragged out the obligatory Dickens reference at the LA press conference, but serial fiction had a presence online before Amazon (and a presence offline after Dickens: Armistead Maupin’s “Tales of the City” and Candace Bushnell’s “Sex and the City,” for instance). The website Tuesday Serial compiles links to many online serials and offers advice about writing them. Authors like Claudia Christian and Lyn Thorne-Alder have written online serials for years. And longform journalism site and e-singles publisher Byliner launched Byliner Serials last month.

Very cool! Time to polish up the web site the article linked to?
Just a reference by name, but when I replied, I linked to the Addergoole site, which is nice and shiny right now.
The paidcontent article links your name to http://lyn.thorne-alder.info/ …?
Whoops, missed that. Thanks. I should make that site go byebye
!!! You should not make it vanish when it was just linked to! Forward it somewhere else, perhaps, if you like — it does look a bit dated. Does the Addergoole site point to any of your other work?
No, not yet. Things I should do (I meant redirect, not vanish, sorry)
Neat! And yeah, clean up the Lynn site, even if you make it one single page that says “Hi, I’m Lyn, my writing can be found here and here (links to LJ and Dreamwidth Landing Page Landing pages). My current serial is here, and my previous serial is here.”
That’s not a bad idea. Project for the weekend!!
