*laugh* That is SO apt! Long live the stripfic!

Actually, another example would be Scheherezade, who told stories with a cliffhanger each night to avoid being executed. [livejournal.com profile] shadesong calls her journal "Scheherezade in Blue Jeans."

I think this experience is what fed into the idea of microfunding the epic poems, which are often too expensive for one person to buy so people team up and fund them collectively. I have several of these currently open for donations, with new verse being revealed as they are funded.
