\\n
\\nWe\'re talking about the extreme long-form serial story here, and how to keep things interesting without forcing the main characters into an\\xa0absurdly high number of character-developing moments. Brandon leads by aiming the question at Howard, since Schlock Mercenary has been running now for seventeen years (it was only 16 at the time we recorded.) We\\xa0also talk about how long romance serials avoid "sequelitis" by swapping out the love interests, and how the tools used here apply across multiple styles and genres.
