Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the textual features relevant to how episode endings organise suspense in online serial fiction.
- 02Build a documented evidence set from one complete serial with author permission or lawful public access.

A suggested research approach
Obtain lawful access to one complete serial with author permission or lawful public access. Map release units, unresolved questions and recap devices; compare cliffhangers with later narrative resolution. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
What you will need
- Lawful access to one complete serial with author permission or lawful public access
- A reading matrix for how episode endings organise suspense in online serial fiction
- Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system
Keep your project scope clear
A single serial cannot establish platform-wide reader engagement or commercial performance.
