Writing community, do you write stories or series of stories (irrespective of whether your stories have sequels)? That is, do you write one self-contained project at a time without worrying too much about what comes after, or do you write fiction to be a part of a larger series without worrying too much about the individual book or story as a stand-alone piece of fiction? What do you think are the advantages or disadvantages of your approach? (Art by Derek Stenning.)
