http://tuesdayserial.com/?p=2032 is the post, specifically Tip #2. I'm not going to argue that there's a difference between serialized novels and serial fiction, because I agree with that: primarily, serial fiction ends up being a soap opera, which can be fun and addictive but is a collection of dramatic events, not a story.
But I've decided that if somebody wants to claim the old masters didn't plan their stuff out in advance so good modern serialists shouldn't either-- then those serialists should also write longhand, or at least use an old-style typewriter. I think the speed of modern word processing and the ease of web publication makes a big difference...
